Example:

We gotta get #active so let’s get #walking with a #purpose and remember to stay #hydrated! #manymoretags #pleasestopoctothorpeabuse #whatdidtheydotoyou

I don’t know why any social media with tagging doesn’t make it so tags only work when added along the bottom of posts or have a dedicated field for them (I think that’s what Tumblr does?).

When I see tags every other word it makes me read the post like the memes with every other letter capitalized, “LiKe tHiS”.

It sucks because I genuinely like tagging as a freeform way of organizing stuff, but a lot of social media lets people turn tags into format litter.

    You are correct. It’s doubly weird when Mastodon posts leak onto Lemmy and there’s a pile of pointless garble.

      How do mastodon posts get here? I have an account here and there and don’t want to accidentally have my posts double up because my mastodon decided to also post here?
