It's a good way to follow Ukrainian news, for example (#ukraine, #ukrainewar). It definitely has its place.
- astrange 3y agoI prefer using lists or trustworthy OSINT accounts for that. My impression is Twitter search 1. is now smart enough it doesn't need hashtags to assist it but 2. due to policy choices doesn't work. Namely, searching for term X returns both "posts containing X" but also "every single thing an account with X in their name" said, meaning any search doesn't work unless you block all those accounts. And then sometimes it includes porn spammers, who are the main users of hashtags.
- sgc 3y agoI use the hashtags to discover new accounts to then follow / add to lists. It is not the same stage of research.
