Important post on #accessibility from a blind #screenreaderuser:

"Hashtags: this is the most commonly boosted topic I've seen here, so #ThisIsWhatAnAccessibleHashtagLooksLike. The capitalisation ensures it's read correctly, and for some long hashtags without caps, I've known screen readers to give up and just start spelling the whole damn thing out, which is slow and painful."

@InkyPinky That alt text description worked. Thank you from a screen reader user. #Accessibility #ScreenReaderUser #AltText
regards, Christopher ☺️

I learned that in order to help make mastodon more #accessible, capitalizing the first letter of the separate words in your multi-word hashtags allows a #ScreenReaderUser to get words as output instead of a letter soup!

Any other helpful tips you've picked up here beyond CW usage and Alt Text?
