That's not "Mastodon" - that's a particular instance, mastodon.social.
Mastodon is composed of completely independent instances. Some of them are Fascist! Some are radical leftist. mastodon.social is pretty liberal centrist and pretty low rent.
I personally never see the Fascist instances because my Amsterdam instance blocks them all, and probably vice versa.

I have no idea who "Gargon" is but he holds no truck outside his instance.
