Since there's no algorithm on Mastodon it's also made it easier to see what kinds of rhetorical tricks people use to get their posts shared.

A common one is to claim 'nobody is talking about this' (about an issue or event that lots of people are talking about)

A similar one is 'everything you know about [X] is wrong.

In both those cases it appeals to people's desire to feel part of a more-enlightened group.
