I am starting a Mastodon campaign 

Every time I see a post with only the #Rust tag, I will kindly ask the poster to use #RustLang instead πŸ˜‡

My feed is full with unrelated content about the film, the game and of course photography of rusty metal 🀬

I will also only post using the #RustLang tag starting from now 😀

You can join me! πŸ€—

The goal is to let the usage of the #Rust tag vanish so people can only follow #RustLang πŸ˜ƒ

The above campaign about promoting the #RustLang tag instead of #Rust failed. At least I will not try to push it anymore 😞

Newcomers often just use the #Rust tag first. So the correction will never end.

Decentralization has its bad sides. Are there any ideas to improve the situation of using a too general tag on #Mastodon?

Thanks for your support anyway πŸ€—

To all developers, not only of programming languages: Please pick a unique name for your software 

Python, Rust, Go, Julia, etc are bad names for searchability 

Pick a name where you get almost no results on a search engine. Something like OxiTraffic. Not the most sexy name, but unique. I searched for the name first before choosing it.

Similar issue with dotNetMAUI and Maui - never liked the name from the beginning for that very reason (but MS people thought it was a real cool name. Argh).
