I hadn't realized just how much of the online #blind community had migrated from Twitter to Mastodon. That gives added oomph to the need to use #AltText on our images (as well as CamelCase on hashtags).

An open letter to organisations engaging with the online blind community. Twitter has abandoned us, many of us have abandoned Twitter, join us on Mastodon

@jeridansky @JonathanMosen I wish Mastodon would preferentially remember CamelCase hashtags rather than automatically suggesting lowercase versions by default.

@cjmoose @jeridansky @JonathanMosen What's wrong with #lowercase_hashtags? 😏

@ciourte @cjmoose @jeridansky @JonathanMosen Snake case is not wrong, just unusual as the convention in this particular space is camel case (upper/Pascal or lower as you please).

Snake case uses a bit more horizontal space, which might he considered a factor against it, but a far weaker factor than "everybody else uses camel case".

@clacke @jeridansky @JonathanMosen @cjmoose As pointed in the first message though, not everybody uses camel case; a noticeable amount of people uses lowercase hashtags.

@cjmoose @jeridansky @JonathanMosen I think it suggest the casing used by the first person on the server to use that tag.
