what *is* the deal with liberals and hashtag abuse anyway?

every time i get some liberal reply guy in my mentions with a gazillion hashtags i’m just like “this reply is so pedestrian”, then i groan and move on with my life

like are we sure there are even russian botnets trolling us and it’s not just an army of clueless reply guys instead?

i mean, there probably is, but the humans feel like bots too here

like when you turn 90% of your post into incomprehensible hashtags, you’re diluting what you’re saying.

just saying.

@ariadne it's okay it's not as if they have anything worthwhile to say

@ariadne i figure its the same as everyone else that does hashtag abuse, theyre out of touch

@h it’s like those motherfuckers you see taking pictures at rock concerts with a fucking iPad

@ariadne what in the actual fuk 😭

@h

@xyhhx @h to steal from maddox:

@ariadne @jpm Especially since the eyes just skims over those ones to the next post.

@timrichards @jpm exactly. my brain just says “i don’t want to read whatever this is. next!”

what is our contribution to the fight against fascism? that’s right! more hashtags!!

#BlueWave2026 #VoteDemocrat #FuckElon #DumpTrump

these are probably the same people who are like “how did you know i answered your questionnaire using ChatGPT?”

honey we know, it’s obvious

@ariadne it’s SEO for social media posts nobody gives (or should give) a shit about

@charlotte nah i’m fighting fascism with these hashtags. they go into the digital aether and combine to form hashtron, the destroyer of fascism

oh fuck i need a 5th hashtag

@ariadne When people post messages with excessive hashtags I like to imagine they talk like that IRL too

@ariadne Naive attempt at signal boosting?

@noisytoot @ariadne I'm also wondering what the deal is with hashtags, if you find out please let me know :p
