I want an option to follow a hashtag, but only if it didn't come from a bot.

@schizanon These days, it seems that the humans are the worse offenders of hashtag abuse so I just don't see the value. If I follow "Fediverse", about 60% of the posts have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Fedi.🤦♂️
I search tags and start a block spree for anyone I see doing that, so next time, there's a slightly better chance that I won't see stuff like that. Maybe one day, I'll have blocked them all.....yeahhhh probably not🤣
@BeAware that sounds like a chore more Sisyphean than my attempts to add everyone who hates crypto to a BlueSky moderation list! It fills me with sonder.
@schizanon yes. I am petty and will block every single person who annoys me in the slightest like this because too many people do it and they know it's a problem and they don't care. Therefore, I don't care about seeing any of their posts in the future :kek:
@schizanon same, which is why I only follow the ones that are really niche and users don't have a real reason to abuse them. There's apps that show these things, but it should be built-in to the web app by default.
I also wish I could put hashtags in a list, so I can group them together, off of my timeline.
@BeAware I think hashtags are the fediverse equivalent of an algorithm, and still woefully underdeveloped; you can't export/import them, there's no indication whether a post in your feed is from someone you follow, or a followed hashtag, or which of the tags in a post is the one you're following. I have a lot of opinions about them.
@BeAware > wish I could put hashtags in a list, so I can group them together, off of my timeline.
that's a good one!
@schizanon @Gargron Yeah....I've been asking for this one for awhile. also, to put people I don't follow into a list, but I can see how that wouldn't work, due to the way the protocol is built, but I'd still like to see it if it can be done eventually.
