Twitter was not bad because "hashtags this" or "trends that". Twitter was bad because:

1. Centralized.
2. They forced you to ID yourself with a phone number.
3. They hand your data to third party companies.
4. Most governments were using it to ID people saying bad things about them.
5. Ads and corporative campaigns.

@d9867eb Because it's a way to show people what is going on in the fediverse at a given time, and promotes socializing and user interaction, which is the main goal of any social network after all.

@robots aha ok, I think trends are pretty useless since you can't remote follow them. so the only interactions you see are from people that you or people on your instance already follow.
