Opinions my own… Boy, do I have some. Some are actually valid.

Oh, and feel free to ignore me and move along. It’ll trouble me none.

    I don’t have anyone suggesting to me to follow hashtags. Just the indication that it’s a thing I can do if I want.

    Given the number of hashtags I see in some posts (esp heavy hashtag users (whom I hate cause the post becomes almost unreadable)) I can certainly see the number of posts returned for any given hashtag could be instantly overwhelming.

    I’ve never actually followed a hashtag so don’t have much to say about that… Other than perhaps that maybe has something to do with why I don’t feel overwhelmed on Mastodon. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

    I just handpick and choose entities (people/news sources) to follow.
