Something may have been forgotten:

Hashtags are not pointless… except, of course, when they are
used in a medium in which they do not function and from which
they will not spread to any medium in which they do.
otherwise this place would be like all other chats
A “modified chat room” is not a place to have a “conversation”.
A forum is not a chat room, not even a modified one
(although “moderated chat room” was probably intended).
