I’ll be totally honest and say that I don’t trust Evan (for reasons I’m not getting into), and I’m not sure why we need “hashtags with extra steps,” but I’d like to get opinions from people who are smarter than I am about this stuff.

The interesting tension here is that tools like tags.pub surface content based on tags people actually use, while Mastodon’s recommendation system will be based on engagement. I wonder which one actually leads to better discovery. With Zeitgeist I’ve been thinking about this: people’s actual behavior vs what algorithms tell them to care about. Tags.pub is a middle ground.
