Posts where every other word is a tag
Example:
We gotta get #active so let's get #walking with a #purpose and remember to stay #hydrated! #manymoretags #pleasestopoctothorpeabuse #whatdidtheydotoyou
I don't know why any social media with tagging doesn't make it so tags only work when added along the bottom of posts or have a dedicated field for them (I think that's what Tumblr does?).
When I see tags every other word it makes me read the post like the memes with every other letter capitalized, "LiKe tHiS".
It sucks because I genuinely like tagging as a freeform way of organizing stuff, but a lot of social media lets people turn tags into format litter.

You are correct. It's doubly weird when Mastodon posts leak onto Lemmy and there's a pile of pointless garble.
How do mastodon posts get here? I have an account here and there and don't want to accidentally have my posts double up because my mastodon decided to also post here?
Ah god, it’s hard for me to read posts that have every other word a hashtag. I get why people do it, but it just bothers me.
I refuse to get why people do it.
Yep, I try to look past it and read posts written that way sometimes, but more often I scroll on by without reading them.
Same, but in excited influencer voice so it's even worse
