Multiple hashtags are a bad idea

Workspaces LOTE3 “The unPilgrimage”

I noticed that [Noemi]'s styled program (great work, by the way!) lists different hashtags, almost one per session.

Multiple hashtags are a bad idea.

  1. Hashtags are there to aggregate. So is LOTE3 itself. By having different hashtags, you fragment the community: people following \#mysession are not going to serendipitously stumble across a good point or an interesting people posting under \#yoursession. Nobody is going to keep ten windows (or columns, depending on what app you use to access the Twitter API) open on ten different hashtags. A common hashtag weaves a thread across different sessions and different rooms, and lends more coherence to LOTE3.
  2. Hashtags cumulate media impact. We like to be trending topics; and if we fragment out the tweets across different hashtags we are not going to reach that for lack of critical mass.

So, I strongly suggest we dismiss all hashtags save lote3. Agreed?

What about mt2019?

So if we stumble upon interesting stuff going on at the LOTE3 we will simply RT it adding @Matera2019, right?
