#hashtags101

This tag is used to introduce the bare basics of how to effectively use hashtags.

Hashtags were invented to help us better categorize information. However, if they aren't used wisely, they can become quite useless. For instance, on mainstream platforms, since everyone is clawing for each other's attention, every hashtag that gains any attention is eventually used in ways that have nothing to do with it's original purpose in order to grab your attention for some other agenda.

When used wisely, hashtags can be used to effectively categorize information, rally around a certain topic or issue, and in the best case scenario have the potential to inspire people toward thoughtful, constructive mass action.
