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

I've just Googled what hashtags are for
it appears they are used as searchwords

I still don't know how to save posts I like to my own account, such as the photo of the sky pool in London

What is YOLO?
How do hashtags actually work?

I hate hashtags
I will never use them. They are stupid and annoying and make reading updates bloody impossible.
I have one friend who tags all her kids with their first and middle names. They are unusual names so if you click on the hashtag it just brings up a couple of pictures of her kids. It's not even all the tagged pictures so what is the point? Confused

Grr I hate Facebook & the rest but I have to be joined because of a particular group I'm in.
I saw #blessed on a status and it was nearly time to part ways for Facebook & I....forever.
Thankfully I remembered you can unfollow people now so everyone I know is unfollowed and just my group is left.
Ahhhh #bliss.

YOLO means "you only live once". It's supposed to be an affirmation a bit like "carpe diem" but basically means "do stupid things! LOL!" Hmm

I don't really care whether others use them, if people post a load of crap then I unfollow them hashtag or no hashtag

I do use them myself though, but generally really long daft ones

Sometimes I may actually SPEAK a hashtag out loud (to hubby or sister and generally as a pi55 take, but there, I confessed)

I have been known to post #fuckthatshit in the comments of posts containing way too many hashtags. I am apparently a bad person. Who knew?!:o

Once again I'm so happy I deleted my Facebook almost immediately soon after joining. I couldn't cope with the idiots posting about illegal immigrants taking their benefits, like to cure cancer etc.

  1. If you are here illegally you can't exactly sign on.
  2. Chemo or surgery cures cancer, not the like button you fucking morons Angry

I lasted a very short time on there.

I've been taking a break from Facebook for the last four weeks, having been on it for 8 years and I'm not missing it. I liked it for the first few years, but I'd got to the point where it had got a bit samey and I was not really getting much out of it any more. I've not deleted my account and I might go back on every few months. I didn't make a big announcement about leaving but I've been finding it surprisingly easy to stay away.

My neighbour actually writes things like, #pout#extensions#redlips#mirrorselfie

With no trace of irony.

I find it more annoying when they are too thick to even use a hastag properly but still try...

E.g #love my sister
Or #thug life

It doesn't work with spaces Hmm

Or when they spell them wrong... #glastonberry

God it's fucking awful. I hate it!

And then people who have no idea about privacy get all concerned.

"Did you know if you put the hashtag into the search bar you'll see your posts, your friends' posts and also loads of posts from people you don't even know! Shock That means that everybody can see yours too!"

No, it doesn't. It means that they are showing up there BECAUSE you are friends. If you look at the ones from strangers they have public security. ARGH.

But it also renders the hashtags TOTALLY useless because if you're tagging something friends only, your friends can ALREADY see it, so why would they need to search for the hashtag? And if your idea is so that random people can find it, don't post it friends only!

I did have a friend on there who worked for Forever Living and she bloody loved a hashtag.
