The idea

Hashtags are a good (sometimes fun, sometimes hotly-debated - not the point) way to get your posts to show up in people's feeds, to join communities, et cetera. However, they only work if your post scope is set to Public. Any other post does not get indexed under the hashtag.

I would like to suggest an option to either warn or automatically set the post scope to public (one-time override) if the post body contains hashtags.

The reasoning

People who normally post unlisted or follower only statuses might want to occassionally post something with a hashtag (publicly), without having to adjust the post scope back and forth every time. Personally I was not even aware that only public statuses were indexed on hashtags, too.

Subway Tooter reminds you to adjust the post scope when you use hashtags, too.
