Tagging as a sidechannel

tehhumiOne thing I like about Tumblr was the use of tags as a side channel for commentary I thought might distract from the main body of a post. It could be funny on a serious post, or just a way of capturing related thoughts for later on the topic in a way that didn't get in the face of everyone who wanted to interact with that post. Alternatively on Tumblr, I could put the idea in a reblog.
What do people think of immediately commenting on my own post with what I would put in the Tumblr tags? Is that seen as faking popularity over here?
I think it would be a cool social norm to establish as we resettle over here, at least for those who want to use Dreamwidth more like Tumblr than like a traditional blog.
