Random account I picked as an example for this post. On Twitter you've probably seen people reply with hashtags like this. Don't bring this over to Mastodon. On Twitter hashtags don't matter very much anymore, but on Mastodon they're a core part of discoverability. People on Mastodon can follow hashtags so if you're filling up their home feed with trash you're probably going to get blocked, and your admin might get reports about you and ask you not to spam hashtags. 9 comments
@nathan people who reply like that on twitter (the later years) got reported for spam. I've only known 1 person do it & it's really annoying. He then moaned that he had to serve a week ban over it. Yes please don't do it on Mastadon or elsewhere. It's annoying. @nathan It seems like a problem that will solve itself on its own: posting too much trash->ban. Life moves on @CallerJegues Letting people know not to do it in the first place is still important because otherwise it just adds on to the never ending stream of reports we have to deal with. @nathan ahhh I just realised who they're replying to - that guy is the literal excel spreadsheet hashtag tracking link back guy. would block and flush every single one of them from everywhere forever  @nathan honestly if the whole FBPE crew just go down with the Twitter ship I wonβt be very sad about it @nathan π― also the people who do weekly versions of the same hashtag but just change the number on the end, like # ToriesOut47 can do one as well |
