#hashtag

29 posts25 participants4 posts today

I wonder how #hashtags would have been developed differently if they had been invented and popularised by people speaking a #language with strongly marked cases.

If I post 'Sauce mit Pilzen' (German for 'sauce with mushrooms'), and I would like to tag the mushrooms, I can't just go '#Pilzen', because '#Pilzen' is a different hashtag from '#Pilze'. Let alone #Pilzes and #Pilz.

Would we tag things with #SemanticWeb URIs?
#hashtag #tech #compling #computationallinguistics #l10n #i18n #linguistics

@WeirdWriter ok im a little lost, following categories would be more like following #hashtags, ie #fediforum or #breakingnews and having them show up in your feed without searching them, but that relies on usage of hashtags so if a post author creates a breaking news post but fails to use the #breakingnews hashtag it wont show up in the feed that you would be following for breaking news, so on your instance in the search bar put what your looking for, under results It shows you All, Profiles, Hashtags and Posts, click on Hashtags then the hashtag your looking for, and on that page on the top will say #hashtag on the left and on the right is a Follow Hashtag button and now everything hashtaged with the hashtag you selected will show up in your Home feed.

The problem we face is simple and brutal: the right-wing swallows anything we say, digests it through their machine, and spits it back as bland, weaponised social shit. Every radical idea gets stripped of meaning and served up as more #mainstreaming slop.

That’s why we need tools they can’t easily co-opt. Systems and language they can’t just regurgitate into empty right-wing talking points. This is where the #4opens and the #OMN #hashtag storytelling come in — it makes ideological hijacking hard, stinky, and uncomfortable for them.

This is real composting: breaking down the mess, feeding the soil, and growing native paths, that are grounded, and unpalatable to power plays of the #nastyfew and there worshipping acolytes.

Great practice with the Popes Me double bass on Vanhal double bass concerto 3rd movement and Vivaldi cello concerto RV 406 2nd movement (at pitch) then Violin on all of Mozart violin concerto #5 (with only some of the smaller cadenzas) Now carbo loading with peeps and coffee for #hashtag #BaroqueSun in 45 min!

Messy language feeds back into our culture

The #blocking of current action, the constant stalls, confusion, and fragmentation, has a lot to do with the mess our language makes. And the deeper issue is how this messy language feeds back into our culture, which then loops back to make the language even murkier. It’s a feedback loop that clouds meaning, erodes trust, and paralyses collective action. The last 40 years of postmodernism and neo-liberalism have made this worse. #Postmodernism chipped away at the idea of shared reality, […]
