C.> "They were so aggressive in their text!"< "Why, what'd they do?"> "They used an ellipsis!"Real conversation. I'm looking around for Alan Funt. I can't even imagine their reaction if it had been an octothorpe.

Patrick Johanneson 🚀 🇨🇦<a href="https://mastodon.social/@gvwilson" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gvwilson</a> I've been known to deploy "<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/octothorpe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#octothorpe</a>" a time or two, and I suppose having a 3rd-degree black belt is "highly trained" (though I often feel like I've got more learning ahead of me than behind).

El Gordo5 months into self-hosting my single-user instance, and I have zero complaints. The cost comes up to $6usd/mo. (~$8 cad, atm), and there’s headroom to spare. I’m running Akkoma on Fedora (which I thought was 38 but is actually 37 so I guess I should probably update it).This is on a Vultr “Cloud Compute” server, with the “AMD High Performance” option (EPYC CPU + NVMe storage) on the lowest tier: 1 vCPU, 1GB memory, and 25GB storage. As an irritable person who hates waiting for things to load, it’s performed beautifully.I can’t comment on Mastodon. While I’m told it’s a bit of a resource hog, especially as it scales, it might be perfectly fine for a single user instance, although when I was first considering self-hosting, I was advised that I’d be better off spending $15 or $20 minimum on a more capable server for Mastodon. I can’t refute or confirm that statement, so use your own judgement, but I don’t really like the way the Mastodon project is run, and I like being able to use Markdown, even if barely anybody will see it.<a class="hashtag" href="https://borkr.one/tag/selfhost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhost</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://borkr.one/tag/selfhosting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://borkr.one/tag/singleuser" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singleuser</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://borkr.one/tag/singleuserinstance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singleuserinstance</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://borkr.one/tag/akkoma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#akkoma</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://borkr.one/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://borkr.one/tag/hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtag</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://borkr.one/tag/octothorpe" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#octothorpe</a>

Hi! I'm an applied economic theorist at the <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/FTC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FTC</a> working on <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/platforms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#platforms</a> and <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/consumerSearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consumerSearch</a>. I'm particularly interested in platform <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#governance</a> questions and <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/behavioral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#behavioral</a> search experiments. I've also recently developed an interest in <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/antitrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antitrust</a> for no reason in particular. I've been told that <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> are a big thing on this website (service? software network?). Did I use enough? <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/octothorpe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#octothorpe</a>

ADHDel-DRAFT-v10-final (2).doc<a href="https://neurodifferent.me/@Erstwhile" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Erstwhile</a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/@melvin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melvin</a> I wrote a whole long piece on this, peppered with <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> (in which all you do is add a # before a word while typing) before trying to correct it and messing up a Delete and Redraft!Here's a (slightly) shorter version:The symbol goes back to <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/roman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roman</a> times. Was called <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/Pound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pound</a> for a long time. Originally an abbreviation of lb or weight in pounds.Eventually meaning changed to becoming simply a way to denote numbers e.g #1, #2, #3. Then in <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/1960s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1960s</a> Bell Labs took it, called it the <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/octothorpe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#octothorpe</a> and stuck it on phone keypads.In early <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/1910s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1910s</a> the term hash started being used for <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/military" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#military</a> stripes on <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/uniforms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uniforms</a> but in <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/1980s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1980s</a> the name hash started being assocaited with the <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/octothorpe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#octothorpe</a> symbol. From there were into modern history and early days of the internet.In terms of social media the hash symbol + characters is a way of tagging content so a hash tag. hashtag being a shorter version is also easier programatically to identify in content.So <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/hashtag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtag</a> is not the symbol alone. It's the symbol + the word. We went WW1 to 80s. 80s to IT/tech. IT/tech to social networking. Tada!Now, most important thing is that there is no <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/algorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#algorithm</a> on <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> so people won't find your petition posts without them. 😟 Stick a # in front of <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/petition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#petition</a> and they just might!Give it a try it's super easy and most Mastodon clients will autocomplete them for you too. 🙂
