#PascalCaseHashtags

This issue has been going on as long as I've been on Mastodon.

There are many posts such as yours.

I don't think I've ever seen an official response.

Can anyone point me at one?

For the benefit of people using (or having to use) #ScreenReaders and the #MastoAdmins:

use #PascalCaseHashtags to break apart words in #HashTags.

"It makes it easier to read and more #accessible."

Remember folks When using hashtags capitalise them using PascalCase (NOT camelCase) that way screen readers get the intonation correct #PascalCaseHashTags
