Hashtags are useless.

#HashTagsAreUseless
Except when you are trying to find a subject that you can easily research hash tags are useless.
Yeah! What happened to good old fashioned keyword search? Any kind of unmoderated tagging system is pretty pointless I think.
When I use them in my telegram groups it's easy to call them when I'm looking for information.
Fur example say I'm traveling and I've shared my tickets with my wife I hash tag tickets or other things so that you can find them fast.
On one of my NOSTR apps the website publishes hashtags as subjects and it makes for ready navigation.
I see them as intentionally calling out a subject.
Like if you want to make connections you search a hashtags.

Is there a layer2 search engine that crawls relays yet?
Zaptags when?

Ugly maybe. Not entirely useless though.

Pound signs are useful
No estoy de acuerdo #introductions ha ayudado mucho a los nuevos
As a taxonomy yea … as a folksonomy … not so much.
We need universal translator to map structural classifications to colloquial terms.

I’m using hashtags to filter content that’ll appear on my domain
I like hashtags to discover people writing about topics that I’m interested in like #monero, #privacy and #dev
So I wouldn’t call it useless.

Yes and no
Hashtags are really useful. I like following them.
Yea some people abuse them but overall they are useful.

Yeah, it's kinda like bookmarks that one pushes on everyone else... Wanna see my bookmarks??? No thank you. I have my own, thank you very much! 😁 Wanna see my linktree??? Hhmmm? 😅
Maybe they’re not the perfect solution, but they are very useful at getting me topical posts and letting me reach people interested I. The same topic
#uselessHashtags
Hashtags function as a means to increase reach - but in a resolution where any topic can be a hashtag, you're shouting in the void. Hashtags can work in a focused collection of ideas surrounding similar themes, but not through the firehose of ephemeral conversations.
Even there, editable labels (that anyone of the community can add) are a better fit.
#hashtags are useful only if the posts you’re looking for have them. We need #autohashtags
Edit #70 something 🤣
What are you up to?
