why do #Mastodon #Users #Post like #This . why is like , every word in their post a hashtag . im like curious whats the point

@ellie twitter

@ellie@yearning.gay they want to maximize discoverability because they're all too twitter brained to realize you shouldnt farm meaningless interactions

@eris people do NOT post like that on twitter

@ellie they're cishet

@ellie my guess is Twitter and saving character counts

@ellie @eris yeah thats more an early instagram thing

@ellie #hashtag

@ellie I mute on sight for this shit, so annoying. Would want better private note functionality in the akkoma client though tbh so I can note that down and have it be more visible

@ellie linkedin

@ellie merely foolish and I don't try to read em.

@ellie There is no algorithm here curating your feed. You see posts from the people you follow and posts that contain the hashtags you follow. So people try to put a lot of hashtags to make their posts visible to people who follow those hashtags.

@ellie @eris I recall seeing people do that on Twitter but it was all people who weren’t worth the attention

@ellie to make sure they don't forgot any subject i guess? but it's atrocious for screen readers

@ellie Because you want people following those hashtags to see the post.
