"neither my bluesky or fedi circles use an abundance of hashtags, and people who do are usually ridiculed"
That's a pretty nasty way to treat people. Why would you make fun of people for using tags? Seems a bit bullying-adjacent 😞
"you could very easily just search up a keyword"
No, because the idea of a hashtag is to highlight what the actual topic is.
Also, some people do not opt into full text searching for privacy reasons. Hashtags allow them to control visibility.

Because some people are mean and sometimes make fun of or silently judge people because people are that way. People can be very mean and very nasty.
That topic can still be highlighted by searching up the hashtag in the text search. People used to use hashtags on websites that weren’t twitter before those sites implemented them properly, and they worked to the same effect. Either way, as you’ve ignored, corporate social media has no plans to remove this.
If a person has chosen to dilerbertly opt out of stuff for privacy reasons then I don’t understand why they’d want a spotlight on themselves in the first place. What are you talking about?
