For those who have grown up with Twitter, hashtags are all but indispensable.
I am not one of those people, and I'm proud of the fact that I've never sent

Although my group has a Twitter page as well (just for announcements), I am not particurlarly keen on hashtags, but I must admit that the Groups.io hashtags system was a grand step forward.
On YG we had a set of fixed "tags" which members were asked to use in their objects and we usually spent a lot of time correcting mistakes. Now we have a small, fixed set of mandatory hashtags, members can choose the appropriate one when posting and everyone is happy.
...I believe Mark's intent is that owners and moderators would establish a set of hashtags with various reply-to override settings, as appropriate for their group. Subscribers could then "lock in" the reply options for topics they initiate by use of the hashtag, which Mods and Owners could subsequently override via the More menu pull-down. <
Oh, this is really too complicated. Group.io is reaching heights of refinement which are beyond my capabilities.
Thank you for your explanation, though.
Best,
Marina
