I am starting a Mastodon campaign
Every time I see a post with only the #Rust tag, I will kindly ask the poster to use #RustLang instead
My feed is full with unrelated content about the film, the game and of course photography of rusty metal
I will also only post using the #RustLang tag starting from now
You can join me!
The goal is to let the usage of the #Rust tag vanish so people can only follow #RustLang
@mo8it good luck. I wholly support using the correct hashtag but won't be joining you in this behavior:
- it feels like trying to boil the ocean
- it might feel aggressive to some people to do that on every post, or even as a bad first interaction with the (mastodon) Rust community.
Instead I'll continue to lead by example and only use the correct hashtag (and not the other).
@Aissen I will try to be kind and pay attention to the reactions for at least some days.
If I see multiple persons being annoyed, I will stop it.
@mo8it @Aissen How is it going so far? Do you got a template for it, so we can use it more efficiently? I'm following the RustLang tag and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
It's a shame to miss out on content #fomo because of a misuse of the rust tag.
Maybe redirecting people with a link to an explanation page could be a useful little project
@lyokolux @Aissen This is my template after multiple edits:
Could you please add the RustLang tag?
Background: https://fosstodon.org/@mo8it/112056453394255413
I paste it on posts without the RustLang tag and most of the time they add the tag and even like the idea.
As far as I can remember, only one person was annoyed. I remember his name and won't ask him again.
You are welcome to use it as well.
