"Do hashtags automatically apply to replies?"
No. Hashtags only apply to the hashtagged post, however your replies will only show up for those who are included in the conversation.
Everyone else would have to click on the thread to see replies, which they'd never see if their hashtag preferences have filtered it out.
@CoSoTips what if it's mellowing my harsh?
@CoSoTips
I still don’t understand. If if I reply to a post that used a hashtag, do I also need to use the hashtag so people can filter it out?
@CoSoTips
Thank you SO MUCH for this clarification!
I want to try to be as considerate as I reasonably can. ☺
"What should I do if someone is refusing to use hashtags?"
Mute or block are always fine options, and you are highly encouraged to use them if anyone's lack of hashtags is harshing your mellow. #CoSoTips
