The argument that if something works one way but is not the most convenient way, we don’t need to make it nicer is kind of dumb.
Ctrl + C works fine but we still add convenient copy buttons in UIs.
Discussion
platforms (#threads) removing the hashtag function and replacing it with some formatted text / unique implementation seems like an odd choice of this genre, better implemented as a visual filter (ie “display all #hashtags as format xyz” is possible in any client on a protocol like nostr, but if you change the entry method to something proprietary or centralized you lose portability)
Meanwhile I'm the nerd who skips looking for a copy button somewhere, and just does ctrl+c/v on my phone keyboard every time 🤣
