    @evan no, not really.

    I'm just annoyed that the fediverse is treating any object as belonging to a global namespace when that's simply not true.

    What I do do is to give tags an actual HTML representation, where there's details and what not. (See something like releases.bruta.link/tags/New )

    And I plan to use them this way in the different instances of the brutalinks link aggregator. On it local tags can be used to differentiate between actor roles on each instance: moderators as an example.

    @mariusor it feels like a stretch to say that hashtag linux on social.tchncs.de is entirely different from hashtag linux on mstdn.ca. I think that different communities use the same hashtag differently, but I don't think those communities break down cleanly on server lines.

    @evan they might point to the same referent/idea at a semiotics level, but individually they are distinct is what I mean.

    I don't want to deny a community's right to redefine what "hashtag linux" means to them. I feel like there's some unexplored potential here. I guess you disagree, but I in the end that's fine.
