I saw this account twice which actually contains political messages. I'm used to weird posts of people who use hashtags or get boosted, but I wanted to ask just in case because despite knowing that I can mute or block them I find worrying the possibility of being shown political messages that I don't want to see.
Or is it my fault? I don't follow it, nor I see hashtags nor that it got boosted nor image alt.
My account is on mastodon.social.

This is a weird kirk of mastodon, it is probably because of a hashtag you follow. Yes they do not show hashtag but still. I get a lot of posts from Lemmy community where there aren't any hashtag. For exemple try searching #linux on mastodon, and find a Lemmy post, you won't see any hashtags yet the posts shows here. My guess is that web.bridgy does the same thing as lemmy, probably a hidden tag or some sort that mastodon doesn't show because it is not in the body?
