@Aatube Because, without algorithms, tags and shares are the only way to get posts seen and grow your network. Tags are the lifeblood of Mastodon and sometimes, the #HashtagGames are amusing.
Personally, I don't think they should class towards your letter-count either, but sadly that would be impractical tech-wise.
@Lorry But hashtags like "He" and "VanityFair" probably won't help since nobody would be looking at that. Also while I despise kbin's algorithm for microblogs, I'm pretty sure mastodon has a competent one in my limited experience.
