I have a feeling it’s one of their temporary features for Civil Integrity (remember that time when the Retweet button launches the Quote Tweet composer?) that, or it’s something bigger than just taking the link away from the regular hashtags

how will we track a topic

Definitely a bad idea

Replying to

Sounds like a terrible idea.

Replying to

would have we to pay in the future to make it them clickable or what?

Replying to

That’s just an absolutely awful idea

Replying to

Sounds like a branded play for partnerships - that would absolutely produce more engagement but at the cost restricting the reach of hashtags overall

This would be a major change to hashtag strategy (but not so much key words themselves). I don't like it because I like the idea of viewing things in a stream easily from hashtags.

They similarly offer a service where they de-index tweets with negative sentiment for their corporate clients - I realized when I tweeted about a problem my friend had with a brand medication. The pharmacy responded but then the tweet thread vanished from Google. Gross

No me parece descabellado, 90% del tiempo es para spam o disparates que se usan. Lo único que sería ver cómo manejarían cuando se trate de algún tipo de protesta coordinada, ya que en ese sentido suelen ser muy útiles.

When

proposed hashtags back then, it’s what made twitter twitter. This feels like taking a million steps back 🤷🏾‍♂️

spending so many years on IRC before Twitter existed, I see hashtags as mini chatrooms ....... this isn't relevant I guess but I just wanted to share lol

A way to "shadowban" hashtag used for influence ops?

Replying to

Sigh. Not Twitter working against users too.

I don't know about the rest of the world but everytime I see a #hashtag in France it's some alt-right keyword spam.

Replying to

Foursquare-ish move!

Nobody uses hashtags anyway? it's a dying feature just Keywords are enough

As long as they don't take away search, then they'll still be useful for organizing, it'll be like the early days before they were link we just searched on them.

Replying to

It's weird when you type #COLORS but that's an edge case. Seems like even if it's not clickable it should still be emphasized somehow, either font weight (uncommon in the Twitter UI) or color. Kind of agree that most users don't want to "explore a hashtag" when they view a tweet

Replying to

and

Wait? What users *don’t* want to click on a hashtag to get more tweets on the same tag? That’s precisely the use case I have.

Replying to

I'd be for it. It should incentivize people from using unrelated hashtags just so their posts show up when someone legitimately goes through a tag. I saw so many ads and hustle posts using tags like "Ukraine", "war" or "Putin" that it's high time Twitter did something with it.

Replying to

It seems like a level of indirection where twitter can editorialize hashtags by instead driving you to trending topics and search instead.
