why did # become a symbol for in-text tags anyway
why are in-text tags a thing in the first place
metadata and data should be distinct entities
i am Very Annoyed at the concept of #-tags in general
they should not exist
can we please get rid of them and use a functional tagging system that doesn't interfere with reading things
@Felthry I really wish I could do things Tumblr-style and have my-account-only metadata on my boosts for cataloguing purposes
I can find most of the reblogs I remember reblogging on Tumblr but I can't find boosts I remember boosting on my Mastodon at all, usually
@packbat does dragon.style have the bookmarks feature yet?
@Felthry no - that might be a glitch-soc thing
does that include the option to add metadata to bookmarks?
@packbat The way we do it, the star is for saying "we read this" or "we appreciate this" or just generally "we acknowledge that this exists", and the bookmark is for saying "this is something we definitely want to be able to find later"
@Felthry I mean, same.
...it's just that there are thousands of posts I definitely want to be able to find later...
@Felthry ahh - unfortunately, judging by how I tumbl'd, I bookmark thousands of things...
