I try to be a good person but it's easy to forget that not putting caps in multi-word hash tags makes them terrible for screen readers.

It's important like putting the captions on your images.

*however*

It would be helpful if the web app of mastodon could please stop suggesting I make bad choices? #mastodon #mastodonSuggestions

(by the way what do screen readers do with *things in stars* ? seems like it should speak them more slowly as if in bold...)

Hard agree.

Also though: always a little mental discomfort when starting a hashtag where the first word is a single letter or abbreviation.

TBH if it weren't for the screen readers I would rather leave many things lowercase and smushed just for unimportant looks reasons. But ever since I found out that most readers can parse the caps I've been trying to switch.
