Embed Notice

One weird and off-putting thing about Mastodon culture is the idea that one should use hashtags not for discoverability, but for the opposite—so that people need not be exposed to concepts that they aren't interested in…but for some reason they follow people who boost such uninteresting posts.

Here somebody suggests that I use a hashtag about US politics to keep him from seeing something I wrote that has nothing at all to do with US politics.
