       it's kind of incredible how twitter was so unbelievably influential that it convinced millions of people that the # symbol is itself called a "hashtag". they weren't even trying to do that. it's a hash that you use to tag things. a hash tag.i think it was helped by nobody agreeing what # is even called. hash? pound? octothorpe? number sign? sharp? well the only app on my phone that uses it† says it's a hashtag‡ so that's what it is† twitter was not the only app to use the hash symbol‡ twitter did not say the symbol itself is a hashtag

       it's like if discord had a help page saying "to add someone, use their user tag (@)" and people started calling the @ symbol a "usertag". reach out at bob smith usertag gmail dot com
