@kranfahrer @stux The thing is... Stuff like that usually trends using its actual name, not the date itself. Using the date itself as a hashtag is counter-productive because it provides no context on why it's there and why anyone should be interested. @Gargron it's an important national day in italy but I'm not sure about the other two Okay, looks like today in particular is an overlap between an important date in Italy and Portugal but these date hashtags pop up every day and mostly from Venezuelan users as far as I can tell   @Gargron in Portugal is called "Freedom Day", it's when they celebrate the revolution of 1974. @Gargron it's a date tag that people use to timestamp their posts. Just a cultural thing I suppose. @gargron they are always the same. Maybe a workaround would be to filter them out. @ana There is no particular issue with anyone using any hashtag but when it's coordinated and for every day even when the date has no significance you start wondering what it's for @Gargron going to guess this is some kind of user interface work around by the people in question, like they want to essentially have a day to day view of their chunk of the fedi and up to date discussion threads but only from people in on the date scheme for their language - so some sort of cross fediverse linguistic selection of current posts maybe? I guess if you make a post in tomorrows tag you can ask people :) |
@Gargron I want to know the same thing!
