i find that with a protocol so vast and new, hashtags are the healthiest way to discover notes without a client controlled algorithm. it’s not obnoxious on here either, rather it’s used to tag a post in its own genre, (categories), than for lousy desperation engagement purposes.

i know it’s old and tired, i never used hashtags for a reason. But protocol growth, and the categorization of notes for different interests, hobbies will create an easier space to retain new users. we need to be focused on the real issue of new users leaving after one day due to its lack of discoverability.

I also believe that we shouldn’t jump so quickly on giving up, and just implementing the same algorithms that made us come here in the first place. it’s complicated.

for now. #hashtags
