@dansup Oh, that reminds me of Twitter with the max-3-hashtag rule to avoid shadowban.

@dansup “mute hashtag” would be a nice feature btw.

@dansup@mastodon.social I think @chris@mstdn.games raises a valid issue in the linked convo wrt/ the hashtag-spamming clout chasers. Applies to Mastodon as well as Pixelfed.

A screenshot of a auto-generated list of over 30 popular hashtags for the topic "phtography" with a "thinking face" emoji. Following: the detailed list of #hashtags in the picture. I you use a screenreader, you may want to pause here. The following hashtags serve merely as an illustration, they don't contain any actual information or data in the context of this post. #filmwave #blackandwhite #filmphotography #streetphotography #filmcamera #ishootfilm #analogphotography #filmcommunity #analog #staybrokeshootfilm #blackandwhitephotography #kodakfilm #analogfilm #photography #fujifilm #shootfilm #mmfilmphotography #mm #filmphoto #filmisalive #film #grainisgood #mmfilm #filmfeed #shotonfilm #kodak #analogue #filmisnotdead #mmphotography #believeinfilm #wanderlust #photography #travel #explore #hiking #clouds #photooftheday #ig #adventure #landscapephotography #nature #travelphotography #sky #landscape #captures #naturelovers #mountains #canon #beautiful #picoftheday #landscapes #photographer #sunset #photo #landscapelovers #naturephotography #travelgram #love #instagood #sunrise
Mastodon GamesChris 👾 (@chris@mstdn.games)Attached: 1 image Dear @Mastodon@mastodon.social can we have a setting for: "automatically hide/collapse all #hashtags except for 3" please? I really appreciated the recent influx of new photographers (many coming from Instagram I presume) but the excessive hashtag use is getting out of hand. No hard feelings, it's hard to break old habits - but there is NO #algorithm here that needs gaming. Very few main hashtags will suffice. Choose 3 that fit best. Write hashtags for people instead, i.e. #silentsunday #fediverse #photography I often see posts with more than 30 hashtags, sometimes taking up more space than the actual picture. That's unnecessary keyword stuffing and it's not helping accessibility and screenreaders either. Please use a meaningful ALT-text description instead 🙏 (The image below is auto-generated, not an actual post - but it could have been one 🙈 )
