So, I just uploaded another post in which an artist celebrates achieving a follower goal.
But the corresponding tag for that is simply followers which seems pretty dismissive and doesn'T sound descriptive at all to me.
So, should the tag be renamed to something like "follower celebration" or something similar?

There's also hits btw.
Tangential to this topic, but from the name and wiki I expected hits to mean "views", but most posts (where it's explicitly specified - i.e. not just a number in the image) from the first few pages are "followers".
Is the tag being misused, or is it meant to be for "hiting a milestone" or something?
Should we also alias subscribers to followers then? It's not used currently as a tag but it's often used in images with the same purpose as the followers tag.
Sounds like both tags should be replaced/renamed/aliased by/to something like milestone_celebration, then.
At one point there was a "kiriban" tag which was aliased to hits; however, a kiriban is any notable milestone number (the Wikipedia on it mentions the year 2000 as being a kiriban, for example.)
That said we don't use Japanese tags unless necessary any longer, so milestone_celebration seems ideal. I see no real value in distinguishing the various types of 'counts.'
BUR #4083 has been approved by @evazion.
create alias followers -> milestone_celebration
create alias hits -> milestone_celebration
As above.
