Als Antwort auf PeterKReilly • • •Imho it would probably make things worse and unusable. If people (like you) are highjacking topics with unrelated toots but their toot is getting the hashtag of the original (unrelated) toot, it would crash the whole hashtag usability. So imho it's way more safer for the system to limit hashtags to the intelligent use of the users. And no one stops you from using them helpful in your reply.
Btw. I never lost a thread, especially not literally.

Als Antwort auf PeterKReilly • • •@PeterKReilly ok, so...
Do you know how easy it is to jump from a reply to the original toot and showing literarily the whole thread?
And could we agree that toots with wrong/misleading/unrelated hashtags are worse than toots without hashtags?
Especially in a system where hashtags are important?
And if so, could you agree that your reply is a good example why it shouldn't get the hashtags of the original toot?
And do you still think it should be easy for people to transfer the wrong hashtags to every unrelated/unnecessary reply instead of having the user in charge using the appropriate hashtags by themselves wisely?
I'm already got - without being interested in - on your topic because you tooted it under a false flag and I hope you can see why I don't want it easy for people hijacking not only other topics with unrelated replies but even worse with the wrong hashtags...
