Doing #this with your #hashtags does not #aid in #discoverability because #nobody is #looking for a #hashtag about "#looking". It simply #makes your #post look #ugly as #shit for #nogoodreason. Put your #tags at the #end of the #post. They will be #condensed by most #fedi software worth its #salt and will be #outoftheway and #unobtrusive. It also doesn't #look #like you're trying to #drum up #fakeengagement.
The #problem is when you #write #posts that #looklikethis, the #writing becomes #forced and #stilted. Those #hashtags become #harder to #ignore. It affects how #readable your #post is. #It looks like #you are #CloutChasing and #not #trying to #engage #organically. So just #PutTheTagsAtTheEnd.
Also, using hashtags in your post like that makes it a NIGHTMARE for screen readers.
@Elizafox I agree with you completely on this front, the inclusion of hashtags in text is much more of an advertising kind of feel versus a discussion kind of feel
@Elizafox
I agree, put hashtags at the bottom, even if you are repeating words.
@Elizafox For those of you who aren't bothered by reading inline-hashtag spam, this is how I read the above post, so you can understand what the issue is:
@Elizafox also, my inner voice reads it with **emphasis** on every **word** with a **hashtag**
@Elizafox i do be blocking people who do this ngl
@Elizafox While I'm not dyslexic seeing hashtags like this makes a post so slow and annoying to read.

It's probably an actual accessibility issue for some people, aside from being screen reader unfriendly.

@Elizafox you say it’s a bad practice, yet you do so anyway and receive a moderate amount of boosts and engagement; curious

(Very explicitly /lh)

@Elizafox i would repost this but screen readers would Probably. explode
@Elizafox I have always liked the tumblr style of putting tags at the end of the post. Very much agreed.
@Elizafox Actually honestly for some reason I really like the aesthetic qualities of this toot in particular. It's patchwork, pleasantly blobbly. It feels like tree bark.
