Maybe you should wonder WHY platforms are killing the hashtag. It was one of the few remaining ways for users to control content categorization/distribution. Platforms are incentivized to phase it out because it shifts organizational power away from real people and toward them.

Hashtags are dead. Stop using them.

note the semantic drift from "behaving in feminine manner" to "looking good," which is how most people use "serving cunt" today. the two were commonly equated in ballroom slang, but the broader concept had more mainstream appeal and spread further due to context collapse
