@Voline I really think of Mastodon's use of hashtags as being an expression of consent and agency, a proactive statement that "yes, I want this toot to be discoverable by people looking for this thing."

@cgranade I didn't know there was another way to think about them. Isn't that exactly what they were made for?

@cgranade @Voline I think I've always used them in this way, but of course it didn't stop the anti-iguanists finding you and piling on even to a mostly local conversation.

@cgranade @Voline this is very useful learning. I’m trying to tread lightly and learn as quickly as possible.

Those are the old-school internet skills, right? You're on a new forum, so you mostly just lurk a lot until you get a feel for the vibe, mores, and all.

@Voline TBF my MO has been to blunder in like a big oaf and then feel ashamed about doing so. At least I am learning quicker, but the 12 years old that dialled into a BBS with a 1200baud modem all those years ago to find warez is still in me somewhere.
