The biggest hashtag of 2020 might not be a hashtag at all
In 2018, it was #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, and #NoBanNoWall. In 2019, it was the #ClimateStrike. In 2020, Twitter hashtags might not cut it, says Northeastern assistant professor Moya Bailey. “There’s more of a cultural shift that I think young people understand needs to happen, and that’s not something that’s easily conveyed in a hashtag or on a social platform,” she says.
