It's not the gossipers, it's a trending view. Mastodon doesn't tell users about active conversations as they happen. That makes it really hard to get breaking news, because you need to be following someone who is posting about it AND you need to recognize that it's breaking news.
Maybe that has improved in the year or two since I used Mastodon.
