I get very irrationally annoyed when trying to discuss Fediverse overall or certain Fediverse platforms because of the sheer amount of spam on those hashtags.

If I search the mastodon hashtag, I definitely don't care about anything else besides posts discussing mastodon.
I purposefully ignore your posts and will probably mute or block you for doing this.
It will not help you get engagement from me, even if I would be otherwise interested in your post, but you ruined it by spamming hashtags.️
This isn't corporate social media. Stop it. Get some help.

@BeAware Most people on my mute list are the so-called "artists" who spam the most popular hashtags. Closely followed by the mutual-aid beggars, also spamming the popular hashtags.

@jasdemi if they're repeat offenders, they're on my blocklist.
I don't find much value in the mute button because since we're on our own instances, there's data costs that effect us directly. I won't allow for spam like that to literally cost me money and muting them doesn't stop the posts from federating to my instance, only blocks and complete defederation does.️
