Wow, literally a 50-50 split on whether to adopt hashtags here. They're still polarizing! 🫣

Are you favor of hashtags on /dev/null? (FWIW, hashtags in a closed network with stronger identity protections would be less prone to hashtag abuse, like how they worked in the early days of Twttr.) #IDemandHashtags

If they really want to remove "Latest" I'd think hashtags would be they way to lead to discovering new people. Maybe they could be implemented the Tumblr way so people can ignore them if they dislike them?

I tested it. It needs onboarding in Raycast. I had to walk through the extension page in my browser to troubleshoot why my existing key with passphrase left the commit spinning. On commit, it says it's pending approval and suggests a further step is required before the commit…

That's @chrismessina's root commit.
