It's wild how fast hashtags become anti-signals. You can pretty much ignore any post using them on almost every platform.

@Daojoan if a hashtag is useful for discovery it’s equally useful for spam
@Daojoan Not here, of course.
Or, I should say, you *can* - it's a totally valid choice - it's just that you miss out on a lot of good content that way (for most people's definition of "good").
@Daojoan Hmm. We have (hashtag) bloomscrolling as an example, where a very diverse group contributes and create something nice for all who follow the hashtag.
I agree with you, that multiple hashtags can be an antipattern
@Daojoan Why ignore them? What do you mean by anti-signal?
@Daojoan Interesting. I know people don't use them as much as before but do you mean they are used only to spread messages/ make them viral?
@Daojoan and then you find yourself in a
Anti-Hashtag-Bubble
