irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoThe point of twitter is (more like was at this point) to follow people.
They’re different formats completely, and one isn’t inherently better than the other.

Agreed.
Until people started following hashtags. Then they were trying to be about more than just people, and doing it poorly. Kind of like wanting to subscribe to people on Lemmy. That’s not what it’s for, and just shouldn’t be an option, so people know that.

following hashtags kinda tricks people that it’s going to be good, but hashtags don’t trigger federation so it’s a bit of a disappointment unless you’re on a big instance
