   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...

     @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.

     @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.
