Update: moved this to my new writing site so there’s a new URL.
Every hashtag on every post on every platform should always be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.
It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.

I have almost 150,000 followers on Twitter. About 1/10th of that on Mastadon, yet Mastadon is often getting superior engagement for the same ideas.
I think more people need to know this is a place worth investing time in.
Looks like mastodon.social is down, possibly due to a DDoS. Time to bring back the fail whale.
They’re looking for a DevOps type if anyone is looking.

My column about apps on Mastodon appears in print today. I'm told it did very well on the web after publishing on Friday. It got MANY boosts and Favorites here on Mastodon (thank you!), so I assume that's where a lot of traffic came from. It'll be very interesting to see what kind of print-reader feedback I get via email.
