begging people on my hands and knees to just use a fucking normal tag instead of prefixing it with "The Cohost Global Feed (tag)"

begging people on my hands and knees to just use a fucking normal tag instead of prefixing it with "The Cohost Global Feed (tag)"
this has bothered me for a while. just use the relevant tag instead of inventing a new tag which is the same tag but inexplicably longer. it's also imo explicitly counter to the ethos of the Global concept - there's nothing global about specificity.
My solution to this is to use the shortest relevant tag; ties broken alphabetically.
Do people really just not use regular tags? Literally all my posts are just tagging all the things relevant to my posts.
a lot of the time they're using both - they tag with every possible variation of the words they're actually tagging with, and then they add those words to the end of Cohost Global Feed too and tag with every possible variation that way
trying to maximize viewership, but aren't sure which variants of the tags people are actually looking at
It's not even that they called it a Cohost Global Feed it's that they can't decide what to call it
the posting UI could just have a checkbox that's like "send to the global chost hose" and then everyone can click over to the global chost hose tab (another UI addition) to see an unfiltered barrage of every choster who clicked that box recently.
using dumb terms here but i don't think it's a terrible idea for creating a place people can "read" Cohost without having to specifically follow specific people or having to guess at tags.
