#Hashtagspam is an act where you mention hashtags based on unrelated topics, like talking about general stuff, not about your country, example: mentioning hashtag America but talking about life you had in Germany, or topic that's in the hashtag but you keep posting over & over, like using that to talk about weird things going on in Berlin, you keep posting, posting & posting, same goes for #mutualAidRequest related, begging despite it's a bad act considered part of Hashtag Spam. @mutualaid

How to recognize people littering our world with aggressive promotion, @nudewalls ?

Is there really no way to fight hashtag spam on Mastodon? I can block or mute individual accounts, but if I follow a hashtag I see all those accounts in my feed, even though they spray hashtags with no thought.

There must be a solution. Please.

#HashtagSpam

Jeden Tag gibt es wieder mindestens einen Post eines Accounts, den ich dann blockiere, weil die Person random Hashtags in ihre Postings einbaut, die nichts mit dem Posting-Inhalt zu tun haben.
Wie mich das abnervt!
Der Block-Finger sitzt hier mittlerweile auch sehr locker. Echt schade, als ich 2021 hier her kam, war das noch anders und Blocken eher die Ausnahme.

Why do people insist on putting their #HashtagSpam in long lists, each #Spam on a separate line?

Why do you expect people to give up vast expanses of their screen space for your spam just to see one average photo?

Boah, immer diese Leute, die Hashtags hijacken für irgendwelchen Müll. Wie mich das nervt.
Der Hashtag Garten ist eigtl ein total schöner zum Folgen für Infos zum Gärtnern, Pflanzen- und Gemüseanbau und dergleichen. Zusammen mit dem englischen Hashtag Gardening ist das immer so meine Social Media Wohlfühlblase, wenn mir die Welt zu verrückt vorkommt.
Wenn da nicht Leute wären, die unter den Hashtags Blödsinn posten, wie Blumengemälde, Vasen, Fotos von irgendwelchen Naturpanoramen oder auch ganz abwegiges wie grade ein politisches Posting. Grrr. Mittlerweile guck ich mir diese Profile an und dann wird geblockt. Können die Leute nicht einfach Hashtags posten, die sinnvoll zu ihrem Kram passen und nicht welche nutzen, die ganz anderen Kontext haben?
Ich. Bin. Genervt. Davon.
Sorry, aber das musste mal grade sein.

Mastodon Tip #1:

Hashtags are great to find, follow and filter topics.

Place them at the very end of your toot, so your helpful list can automatically shorten in timelines by apps like Tusky.

So nobody has to complain about to many of them...

#hashtagspam is a one of many the social media annoyances that can be easily eliminated: Just have servers refuse any post that uses more than a few hashtags. You dont even have to check if they are relevant and correlated with the post content.

Some people will abuse any facility if it confers them a perceived or real advantage without a penalty cost. But for the rest of us this only raises the noise and reduces the value of the channel.

@Seanochicago

I'm sometimes guilty of #HashtagSpam but wouldn't it be nice if you had an option to block posts that had like more than 5 hashtags?

Imagine they were automatically blocked and you could set the number of hashtags posts you view are allowed to have.

Maybe you would set the max limit to 2. I might set it to 5.
