Off Topic: I don't think that anyone but the author should be able to hashtag an article. You cannot have an article up for a second without someone going in and adding a nonsense hashtag, typically intended to insult another person. So by allowing anyone to put in a hashtag, you aren't really achieving the searchable index you hoped for. You're just getting nonsense. Which isn't any better than if a person put nothing at all (in the cases where the author forgets). JMHO. Have a good one!

Reminds me of that 2015 cartoon
The Gay Swede Social Worker who lives in working class housing, arranging luxury housing for Homophobic Refugees.

Yes, but tbh I figured that would happen and it would be a motive for people who post threads to put in a hashtag first, so that no one else gets the option.
I personally fix some of the worst ones, and thread authors can pretty easily fix their own.

How about sinking their boats in the middle of the Mediterranean, out of sight out of mind.

We must clearly elect an ignorant authoritarian big-government bully to prevent fascism from coming to America.

Funny, few refugees end up in Alexandria or Georgetown or Cambridge or Bethesda. They all seem to end up in places like Idaho.
We should settle refugees close to 1%ers, so they can get the intellectual and moral guidance they need. And pay for their prep school attendance, so they can socialize with Silly Con Valley Executives, Senators, and Senior College Admin kids.

Right next to the survivalist skinheads. Now, there's a tribal dispute they can sink their teeth into.

As usual, @"turtledove is deplorable" is right. Anonymous hashtag entry has been removed.
WEALTHY Swedes are being urged to let asylum seekers move into their holiday cottages as local authorities struggle to tackle a growing housing crisis.
Letters have been sent to second home owners by councils which have recently been given responsibility for providing accommodation for refugees.
Authority chiefs said they would be encouraging private owners to enter rental agreements with tenants on a commercial basis without municipal interference.
But they said in some cases social workers would have to get involved and offer help to vulnerable people in need of re-housing.
