So it’s not a “hashtag” without the hash and the tag. #TIL

Technically, yes. Practically, I don't think this is true. If you ask 100 people under 20 what "#" is called, 99 or 100 will say it's a hashtag. Language shifts, and that's becoming the common name for it, even without it tagging something.
