As a new user, I’m enjoying Mastodon’s vibe so far but the one thing that is a letdown is the trending hashtags. I’ve been checking them regularly over the past couple of weeks and it seems like they’re pretty much always like this.

Even on days with big news stories, people on Mastodon are only talking about what day of the week it is like company employees on some internal message board?

Is there anything that can be done to liven them up a bit?

      By creating a pull request in Github. (Don’t yet angry, that was supposed to be a lighthearted joke)

        I can imagine some alpha-cunt Tate-esque grifter selling courses on how to “Just Shout at People” like it’s some sort of magic spell that mysteriously makes everything that you want happen.

        Selling it like it’s the hidden secret sauce to the universe or whatever, rather than just being a dick to everyone.

        Would the community even be any worse, I wonder? :)
