As someone who regularly uses screen readers and works with blind colleagues who rely on screen readers to access the internet, please let me assure you that using #hashtags within the body of a post is not a problem.

You don’t need to move them to the end!

It is helpful to use #CamelCase to avoid gibberish for many word combos, but the extra # is so minimal as to disappear given how much else screen readers say & how fast they speak to experienced users.

I've started taking photos of the Telstra telephone exchanges as I travel around. The are generally so brutally ugly it must have been a policy or plan. #telephoneexchange

It was already 27 degrees at 8am and I'd like to know who decided I should spend it in the office instead of sipping Aperol spritz on the balcony

@Magpie mid drive is almost always more efficient for any use case, and from a personal perspective I like the feel a lot better
