omfg @jack thinks that black people tweeting #onhere means something like a status indicator of being online. That's not it.

I know it has to do with experience seen and felt. Didn’t mean to associate that directly with presence, but referring to the resulting live and vibrant chat I see around it. We want to be better at showing who’s up to discuss.

That is directly opposed to why the hashtag exists. A presence indicator of "who's up to discuss" blurs the line between
#onhere and irl and the whole point of the hashtag is that they're separate and maybe they should be. . -
I don't think you get what it's about, this is not your language
