Gotta love when someone uses the mastodon or Fediverse hashtags to show their ass, dogs, cats, flowers, etc or even say they haven't seen spam. All adding to the actual spam on those hashtags, making them unusable.
Don't you LOVE that, Fedi?

PS. What would REALLY help this is a feature similar to Misskey's antennas. It allows you to add AND exclude hashtags/words from a list. So I could start excluding hashtags that people use to abuse these other tags...
@Rob300 yeah, it's annoying as hell. I use it to see posts ABOUT mastodon. Not your tits, dicks, cat pics, etc. that's what hashtags are for, to categorize posts. Anyone NOT doing that just gets added to my block or mute list...🤷
@BeAware the mastidon hashtag can be a great way to reach more people that's why irrelevant posts will use it. Ido think it can be spam but as the occasional 'bloom scroll' hurting you that much?
You can expect Mastodon to be the heaviest used hashtag.
@Jerry it's a daily routine of mine. It's constant. I just want to read posts that are ON TOPIC, is that so hard?😩
@BeAware I have reported people for hashtag abuse and have banned them from this server for it. It angers me, too.
@Jerry PS, when we were discussing my boosting my own replies the other day and if you could see them, I forgot to mention that lists don't show boosts. Therefore any replies that I would boost, you would not see.
@Rob300 I feel like filtering words would be "filtering content id potentially want to see" because I just don't want to see them while browsing those tags...🤷
@BeAware makes perfect sense. but that is why people use the hashtag because it is popular. once you understand that then you see why it gets bloated with spam.
Do you filter out keywords? Doing this would elimate most of what you would not want to see. By blocking users on Mastodon you risk losing out on some maybe good content. Personally I feel blocking the user should be a last resort unless
a. you can't filter out what they posted or b. it's a topic you generally don't want to see.
@BeAware You know what we need? filters set per user you interact with. tedeious but it would work for your purposes.
@Rob300 yes! Or the antenna feature like I mentioned. Allowing me to browse posts that DONT consist of other hashtags I don't want to see
