The person you're citing is completely misguided, the change has nothing to do with what they're observing -- in fact, the change would fix their problem, as tags authored in non-Mastodon software that are not included in the body of the post would become visible for the first time. My change would also not remove a hashtag from the end of a paragraph. Only if you put it on its own line.

Chris, a question. You write that LinkedIn is the only social media which auto-suggests hashtags. Do you see Medium's topics bar somehow qualitatively different, because that, too, uses auto-suggest? I see them as effectively the same - the only different being syntactic wrt the use of # character or not.
