I saw someone say you can follow a hashtag - but I can't figure out how. And I assume following a hashtag shows you all tagged posts (as long as the source instance isn't blocked)?
I don't know if it is doable on the version of Mastodon that we are on. I was attempting to figure it out earlier and gave up. Apparently 4.0 might be what we need...
we do try hard to make sure those are not available in people's feed here.
(and its not just the racists we are blocking)
We will absolutelly act on any report, and investigate it. So when you come accross anything and anyone making you feel uncomfortable, be sure to hit that report button.
sorry, I didn't mean to be sounding like I was telling you off or anything.
it was meant to be a encouragement to help keep the place in a good shape by sharing with us any thing you might find as this place is by no means perfect.
LOL not at all. We're both so apologetic when I suspect neither of us were upset at all. I have full confidence in this instances dedication to creating a safe space.
It's just that I don't think mods have that influence over other instances and their users' use of hashtags and how those appear in searches. And that's ok. I can block individual users as I need to.
I haven't seen any related problems on this instance.

•Scrolling Board Games, I just realized I'll have to start blocking accounts all over again too.
Everyone likes board games, even misogynistic racist pieces of shit. And they're migrating to Mastodon and using hashtags too. Sigh.

Apologies if I made it sounds accusatory

•If it is supported, you should see a little follow icon to the left of the Back link in the hashtag feed's title bar.
