Can't just be me who hates seeing this all over Facebook? I don't mind the occasional hash tag but I keep seeing people tagged in wedding photos on Facebook with about #15 #hashtags #allover

#myworld. Boak.

YANBU. Don't the hash tags only work in twitter anyway? Or am I way behind the times?

AliceInUnderpants · 20/08/2015 15:17

I use hashtags in all my Instagram posts. I share them on Facebook so they show there too.

haveabreak No, they also work on Instagram and Facebook, and I'd imagine other social media sites.

Lol, I hate it too, I don't know if that makes me an old gimmer.

Some people share far too much.

SansaryaAgain · 20/08/2015 15:35

Hashtags work in Facebook if your post is public. If it's set to Friends Only and hashtagged then you're #wastingyourtime really.

purplemunkey · 20/08/2015 15:36

Ugh. I hate the overuse of hashtags. They're meant to help bring conversations/topics together so thing like #dickandjaneswedding don't offend or annoy me, it's all the nonsensical shit that follows like the OP mentions that irritate me. It's so pointless.

They're not just for Twitter though, hashtags work on FB and Instagram too.

If you overuse ashtrays on Facebook then #Ithinkyouareanannoyingcunt.

SansaryaAgain · 20/08/2015 15:42

I know someone who hashtags her kids' names when she puts them on Facebook. I'm not sure who else she thinks is doing the same!

BrianCoxReborn · 20/08/2015 15:44

hashtags . Ffs I even corrected it, AC is taking over

waitrosefizz · 20/08/2015 16:05

#WhatBriansaid. Awful.

AboutTimeIChangedMyNameAgain · 20/08/2015 16:05

Someone I'm fb friends with is obsessed with health and exercise and the posts are always ended with tons of # about it. I'm thinking of unfollowing, partly because I can't work out why she's thinks anyone cares.

waitrosefizz · 20/08/2015 16:09

I'm thinking of leaving FB altogether - I honestly think I'm too much of a curmudgeon for it.

Lj8893 · 20/08/2015 16:09

Oh god I hate it too, especially on selfies.

Fuck off

LavenderDoll · 20/08/2015 16:12

Ginger - that made me #snort

RachelZoe · 20/08/2015 16:15

I love looking at my boys instagram accounts, the hashtags are hilarious. #gains #abs #blessed #fitness #protein #lovelife #friends

#lookatmeimsovainandmyownmotherthinksimawanker.

The best in when they're being shitty and huffy, then a family picture turns up with "family time :):):) #family #blessed #lovelife #together" Silly billies.

FarelyKnuts · 20/08/2015 16:16

I got brain ache out of my brother and his now wife in the lead up to the wedding where every fucking photo was #jacklovesjane (not their real names) but originating from her posts.
I wanted to post #wrongwayroundyoumuppet on everything but restrained myself in the interests of family harmony.

TeresaGiudicesForehead · 20/08/2015 16:24

I use hashtags to take the piss out of hashtags. Like a really long one or one that is really stupid. I HATE the ones like #love #family #sisters #besto THEY DRIVE ME NUTS!!!
I always want to reply #whocares #sadcunt #boringasfuck

#myworld is my own personal bugbear. boak indeed.

FarFromAnyRoad · 20/08/2015 16:27

SO what Teresa said

I have a lot of my DS's friend on my FB - because I'm such a cool Mum y'know #boak #inmydreams #realsadoldgimmer and they're the absolute worst for it!
On the other hand - it's just a thing. It will pass. Something else will be the next big thing.

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 20/08/2015 17:02

Ginger, #blessed sets my irrational rage off like a red flag to a bull. Whoever started that trend needs serious punishment.

I have someone on my Facebook who #writes #every #sentence #with #a #damn #hashtag. The thing is, they are a well educated person, who would probably have something interesting to say if my eyes weren't stuck in rolled position whenever I come by their latest post. Sorry, #post.

MissMogwi · 20/08/2015 17:08

#blessed is really annoying. I never believe anyone who writes that, who are you trying to kid

My DSis does the #myworld, #myeverything etc. There's no need for it and I've told her so.

BlueNoon100 · 20/08/2015 17:09

Yy ginger #blessed is one of my top windups
You are just fucking lucky. God and his angels didn't come specially down from heaven and decide you were going to blessed while ignoring me as not worthy
