Some more observations on the state of hashtags in the fediverse. If you've ever done any sort of indexing or text analysis project, you're familiar with the concept of stop words, words like "the" and "and" which you exclude because they're common and meaningless. Well, it's kinda funny to browse the hashtags for assorted stop words. People just smash # in front of every word in a sentence. Unclear who would be following these hashtags.
