Meta comment - this is cheering, even if it is one way. It is a way for things I am interested in to get into my feed without an algorithm, just hashtags.

Corporate social networks are trying to kill the hashtag because they want users to only discover things through corporate algorithms 😩
Mastodon and the wider Fediverse love the hashtag as it allows humans to retain control of their feeds 🥰

The use of #hashtags is a progressive and critical perspective on technology and society. Think about neoliberalism ( #deathcult) and consumer capitalism ( #fashernista), promoting the ideals of the open web ( #openweb) against the for-profit internet ( #closedweb #dotcons).

#hashtags are still my primary discovery method. Either awesome people post interesting things and I can find them, or when I post with tags awesome people like and boost and I can discover and follow them.

I do like it when people I follow use #hashtags for their posts - particularly when I can then filter out topics like hobbies or sports stuff I have no interest in (like Eurovision or football). I try to tag my own posts in part so you can do this too.

The #hashtags embody a story and world-view https://hamishcampbell.com/the-hashtags-embody-a-story-and-world-view/ It’s simple #KISS, so please try not to react like a prat about this, thanks.
