Another person is making another post about tagging (it's me)

Yall we gotta get on top of this tagging business. As someone that never tags their shit (shame shame, free tomatos on your left there) there's some stuff on this site that's just gotta get the tags.

Discourse o' the day, not sure if this should just get a blanket discourse tag or someone eventually decide "a lot of people are talking about this I'ma make a cute tag". But I think people would like the ability to zap that shit away when need be. Hell, preemptive tagging is fine too.
Stuff that may not warrant a full CW but may still be important tag mufflin' material (weed and weed accessories as an example, this is HELLA inconsistent even on my own timeline). Some people need the ability to zap this shit away and you don't even have to put a whole CW gate to do it.
Stuff to make various adult content themes more searchable (discussion for elsewhere, deserves it's own post).
Fursuits. You all should be posting more fursuits. And then tag them fursuit.

In all seriousness though, tagging is a very important feature on this site and I personally am going to make a point to start being That Person a bit more often and kindly asking people in comments to tag posts when it sticks out to me.

i never know what to tag anything because tagging is a social-consensus sort of activity, but people don't really talk about the tags they look for or block, so i have no idea how to get a sense of what the consensus is

There's a good rechost to this mentioning that tags get hidden on reshares, which is understandable as to not making things too long but also gets people used to not seeing tags. I think if tags were visible all the time it would be easier to get a feel for these kinds of things.

EDIT: This is basically exactly what was said in said post I'm not braining very well right now. I should be working.

I was also thinking about posting something just now and realized "I would have not tagged this because I don't want the extra discoverability or context" and I don't think that's an entirely invalid thing to do, if you're fairly confident that no one would want to not see it. But that's also a BIG assumption to make so... unsure.

i think this has been pointed out elsewhere, but it's also kind of weird that tags function both as "thing for filtering my own posts within my own page" and "some kind of global discovery mechanism" and, presumably at some point, "another kind of content warning"

Finding things (, on the website)

Finding things (, on my page)

NOT finding things (, on the website)

I think they're capable of all three if they're used correctly. But "correctly" is not a solid term, nor well defined at the moment. As you've explained.
