@poleguy@mastodon.social The issue with that hashtag is, it's one of those Wordle games, which means lots of us have that hashtag muted and would never see it. Great idea, just need a better hashtag. #MastoCollections or something similar would work better. @mackaj@mastodon.me.uk @Mastodon@mastodon.social

@feyter@mastodon.gamedev.place As stated, lots of people mute hashtags they don't want to see, and one of the most famous ones is #Wordle or #Heardle or similar other word games that are out there. Collections happens to be one of those word games that people us the hashtag #Collections for, and we mute it so we don't have that crap in our feeds. So using #Collections for this would be a bad idea because of that. I feel it needs to be more Mastodon specific, hence me suggesting #MastoCollections @poleguy@mastodon.social @mackaj@mastodon.me.uk @Mastodon@mastodon.social

@feyter@mastodon.gamedev.place I completely agree that muting normal words like this isn't ideal, unfortunately, that needs to be blamed on the game itself that uses that hashtag. It's not something we on the Fediverse came up. Rare? Far from rare. These posts are made by thousands every day, just like Wordle and Heardle and all of those. I personally choose what I want to see in my feed or what I don't want to see in my feed, and muting #Collections is one of the things I have to do to keep my timeline cleansed of the bullshit, for lack of better words. I also didn't suggest #MastodonCollections since again, you are right, it's a bit long. #MastoCollections or even #FediCollections would be good. On the opposite side of what you are saying about not muting common words, there's going to be tons of people that don't want to see these collections in their feed, and the simple solution would be to........guess what, mute the hashtag #Collections if that's what was used. So it's a total catch-22, as you might see. @poleguy@mastodon.social @mackaj@mastodon.me.uk @Mastodon@mastodon.social
