Feature Request: Tagging @Users and #Hashtags!

Hello! I just wanted to request a feature. I think it would be really cool if we could tag other users in the feed so we can reply to other people's statuses, though, I'd leave it so the original post stays present in the widget and replies get filtered out unless people go to the post itself in status.cafe directly to see the threads. Maybe a notifications system as well so if someone tags or replies to your status you get notified. Tagging would also be a great feature if we want to elevate/endorse one of our favorite site creators to easily link for others to check out.

Another thing I'd like to suggest are hashtags! They're incredibly useful when you're trying to find a bunch of posts on a specific topic or interest. It could allow users to hashtag the types of sites they host and allow others to find sites that are similar to their taste. Hashtags combined with tagged replies would make this site so much more interactive and social. :)

Thanks for your consideration!

i feel like this defeats the purpose of the site.. its not social media
