Hi everyone,

If you are using hastags with multiple words, please use camel case.

#LikeThisExample

Not #likethisexample

Why?

A) Screen readers will see a bunch of letters that doesn't make one word and read out each individual letter. Which makes it hard to understand.

B) For us sighted people, it is also easier to read.

Thanks you

@print The people who keep pointing fingers at me for not adding ALT text to all my photos are the same people who never use capitals (camel case) in their hashtags. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, I haven't had thise people for a while, they don't seem to have a problem with my posts anymore, because they are blocked.

People are free to use Mastodon etc how they want. People forget, have other stuff going on or trying to do stuff on phone keyboards. And that is ok. Been there myself.

This instance has a large amount of new people, so trying to educate and make it a normal. Which encourages others to use camel case and alt text as the default.
