@anon_opin Further, not every #noun needs to be a #hashtag. Stop making your #toots #unreadable, people.
@hamishcampbell

the issue isnt the coding as such. we have as many coders as never before.

...but just like reading/writing, where you can write novels, scientific literature, kids books, instruction manuals, zines or bools about how to organize and take over the means of production, ...so you can program all kinds of things

political science students learn a lot of stuff, but unless they get hired into a formal position, all their knowledge is mostly theory which they cant apply as learned

@serapath

I extended this post on the subject, from the prospective of the #hashtag story https://hamishcampbell.com/why-teach-everyone-to-code-has-become-a-dead-end-slogan/

@transquinnzel huzzah! Testing all the things because I know how useful it was when I was adding comments to my blog. 😆

Custom emoji! 🍪 #hashtag

And how about a gif:

In #Mastodon 4.4 they've added the horrible popup window from #Bluesky when you try to click on a #hashtag.

If I wanted to do something weird with the hashtag, I'd right click it. Now I need to make an extra click every single time I just want to view the posts. It's one of the worst features of Bluesky, and they've added it into Mastodon.

It doesn't even do anything useful like tell you if you're following the hashtag.

Every time they update the Mastodon UI they make it worse.

@boris I'm thinking I might lean into #hashtag-s, given spotty support for mastodon-search.
