Delicious oyster ramen at 無冠 (Mukan) in Gotanda, Tokyo. Today was apparently their last day for oyster for a while.

Do you have a source for either of these claims? I was pretty sure a Big Mac cost more than $0.50 (in the US anyway) in 1980.

Do any clients support adding a list of hashtags to follow?

I was thinking the same thing. In the case of using hashtags, there are is currently no moderation, but some ideas:
1. Any user objecting to an post (e.g., misuse of the hashtag, spammy or inappropriate content) could post a “moderation hint" or "comment" event containing metadata that explains their reason for why it is inappropriate and/or a simple up-vote/flag-inappropriate. Relays and client software could then take these moderation hint comments and regular replies into account and filter the content (this might be the challenging part).
2. An LLM running locally on the client could serve as a user-specific moderator. If the user searches for a specific hashtag, the returned results would be moderated by the LLM before being shown to the user. This would allow each user to customize the kind of content they are shown based on personal preferences. For example, a user could set their client to automatically hide content that contains certain trigger words or topics they find distressing. This could potentially be used in combination with 1.

I like Nihongo no mori (日本語の森). The videos are all in Japanese, so it's good if you are already at least around N3 level. It's mainly focused on learners who want to pass the JLPT, though. For a mix of English and Japanese, Japanese Ammo with Misa might be good but haven't checked it recently.
