Surely that's just part of the code on each instance? If there were a bias it would have to be present there.

I don't use any kind of platform besides this site but unless there's some kind of global analytics system run by somebody affiliated with Mastodon that every instance is set to reference by default I don't know how this would be possible.

The main mastodon dev has some pretty weird opinions so it could be possible they've hidden some implicit bias in the trending function. It would be interesting to see analysis of behavior across other activitypub implementations.
