#Mastodon really needs something similar to the $-Tags that #twitter had to indicate Stock symbols to avoid confusions like this...

#Fediverse

@agowa338 I just had a look on the Mastodon GitHub page and can't see a request for this there, so it might be worth creating one?

Good idea, but Linkedin (where I crossposted this to) also doesn't have it, and Twitter is dead by now. So I'm not sure if that would even work in the end...

@agowa338 Well, if it's useful for you, it's always worth requesting. Each platform has their strengths and weakenesses and each take some getting used to. Thanks for being open to considering things anyway - I'm not trying to shut you down at all, I just want people searching for our screen reader to find that info without too much unrelated info in the results, and for you for people looking for financial news to find that without us getting in the way :)
@NVAccess @agowa338 As a workaround, you can use #NVDASR hashtag instead to clealry differnetiate the screen reader versus a big tech company.
