Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.

@Tam5 Yee, that kinda thing is hard on people with screenreaders and it's also just generally not a great feature for readability
Personally I just recommend not using Hashtags

@ocean @Tam5 That's an interesting point of view for someone using Mastodon, as searches only work with #Hashtags not with general terms, apparently.

Some of us migrants have been doing our best to use #CamelCase even on the bird app, and to use alt text for images too.

@Sophoife @Tam5 Theres a lot of new users so it's not super clear right now to lots of people just joining, but the solid truth is that fediverse users don't really use hashtags much, it's just not part of the culture here

@ocean @Tam5 Thank you for the hint: appreciated.

I was using IRC before Eugen Rochko was born.
