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 Not that we're aware of, but if you bookmark relatively few things like we do it's not hard to re-find them
