I’ll be totally honest and say that I don’t trust Evan (for reasons I’m not getting into), and I’m not sure why we need “hashtags with extra steps,” but I’d like to get opinions from people who are smarter than I am about this stuff.

It's quite easy to flip this around: forcing topical discussion through groups are just a workaround for lack of proper discovery and aggregated search...

To give you one simple example: I get a lot more useful and meaningful interactions from following #emacs on mastodon than by waiting for people to find out and post to !emacs@programming.dev. Same thing for #nfl and !nfl@nfl.community or !nfl@a.gup.pe, etc.
