This is the opposite of SEO unless your goal was to make sure you never appear on the first page.

They do realize sites that tag spam are heavily penalized by Google?

    Off-topic: why do you tag the user whose comment you're directly responding to? Others, sure, but the parent comment already gets a notification of your response.

    This happens automatically on the web client for Mastodon when you reply to a thread. I could have manually removed yours from this one. I have mixed feelings about whether that should be default. Untagging could be construed as rude? On the other hand it can be a bore to be involuntarily involved in some seemingly interminable thread that you only meant to reply briefly to.
