@twynn@mas.to @matt@toot.cafe @Vordus@chitter.xyz This post also contains the passage:
“it was further codified as a hashtag when Twitter decided to natively implement a feature that was formed from emergent user behavior—a surprisingly uncharacteristic move for the platform”,
when in fact “inventing” features based on user behaviour was very characteristic for that platform. I can’t think of any good Twitter feature that wasn’t implemented by users first, and natively second.

@ahltorp@mastodon.nu @twynn@mas.to @matt@toot.cafe god, remember the days when you'd have to figure out how to shorten people's tweets so that you could fit RT: and their account handle into the message to manually retweet them? Bless.
