@gamingonlinux @mikebabcock I've been seeing it used as a subject line equivalent of emails. It tells you what the post will be about and you can decide if you want to read it or not. Not everyone uses hashtags, but they can describe the topic their post is about. It's definitely a slightly different way of interacting, and It's nice that you have a more granular filter of what you want to see

@gamingonlinux @Wizkid_alex @mikebabcock fun fact: Mastodon actually users the Subject field of ActivityPub objects for its CW. An example of CW used not for sensitive stuff, but to reduce the impact of long threads in timelines is the way @pluralistic does it.
