PLEASE; don't merely replicate birdsite practices here in Mastodonia. Use #hashtags. Use hashtags so that we can filter our feeds (in & out). This is fundamental to Mastodon, a way for everyone in the federated instances to craft a feed that is safe, non-triggering, and delight-inducing.

But it only works if *we all do our part* for our fellow Mastodonts.
