@jcsteh @joachim thank you! I find capitalized hashtags easier to read but realized while posting something else that I sometimes get lazy typing when there are just two words. It made me wonder what the broader impact might be. I’ll be sure to capitalize from now on.

@jcsteh @juliette as a sighted user I concur with your last sentence, I’ve seen lowercase hashtags that were quite confusing.

It makes me remember the domain name ExpertsExchange.com, which can very easily be read ExpertSexChange.com when written in lowercase

@jcsteh @joachim @juliette

Please DO capitalize the words within a hashtag.

camelCase and PascalCase are two very similar norms that allow words to be joined without hyphenation but distinguished by readers through capitalization of the first letters of words.

The difference is that Pascal Case requires the first letter of the first word to be capitalized but camel Case just insists on the following words. The two terms are often referred to without distinction here though.

Be aware that Mastodon autocomplete will offer up the first version created for a hashtag. So, it’s important to be careful to make sure a hashtag that you type isn’t autocompleted to a version without capitals.
