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...)

@futurebird Mastodon taking away the camel case fucking annoying.

They should add the camel case when people don't use it.

But the techie people go Boo Hoo we can't do that! Stop asking the impossible!

@lydiaconwell @futurebird Yea.. this is where an algorithm or whatever would do well.

On one hand, it could detect without needing others to help it, that camelcase says CamelCase, but then if it's not quite so simple, look how a lot of others using that set of words are doing capitalisation so then, hey, okay let's suggest CamelCase.

@jase @futurebird Apparently it's harder than it sounds. But surely there can be some sort of system that recognises existing words then separates them with capitals.

As long as you can override it like you can currently by typing space after the hashtag.

Or maybe it should be designed to deliberately get it wrong to force people to do camel case properly.
