@frost This is not actionable for my local timeline (because of locality of its members), but it probably is for yours, especially if you live in general Europe, France, Australia or Brazil. Neither I nor most of the people on my server, live in those places. And hashtags simply don't work all that great between instances. And there's no "algorithm" to show your message to people. Discoverability on Fedi sucks, part because a lot of stuff is not implemented as yet, part because of architectural reasons, so... as far as "putting things out there" goes - you're on your own, pretty much.

And I was not "randomly" tagging people, I was tagging people I know who might be interested in the cause and who have at least some sort of publicity.

Please don't throw accusations without knowing the full context, it's not cool.
