ALERT

Gargron is writing a Mastodon feature:

"Change hashtags at the end of the post to not be rendered"
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26260

That seems like a pretty big change. I've got questions, like:

- Why not put them under a "show tags" thing?
- On Tumblr they're visible, but they show you the first line or so by default and then you can click to show the rest. Should we have that?
- At the moment, when something appears in your Home feed because you follow a hashtag, there is no indication about why. If hashtags are hidden, people are going to be even more confused.

I get that people want to not see spammy hashtags at the end of posts, but to make them totally hidden to the reader seems a bit extreme?

Anyway, if you feel similarly, leave a comment on the Github pull request: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26260 (You might need to make a Github account, but that's pretty easy.)
