I apologise in advance and don’t mean to offend anyone, but there’s an account called historyofart and I just have to say that 100 times out of 100 I’m going to read that as History O’Fart.
I testi alternativi delle immagini sono importanti e vanno saputi creare: dire "la foto della pagina di un giornale" non significa niente se non si spiega cosa c'è scritto.; l'accessibilità è un diritto umano, non un favore, e noi persone con disabilità visiva siamo vulnerabili alla #censura più di tutti gli altri. Ora c'è l'AI che aiuta, ma non è sempre affidabile. Cerchiamo di darci una mano per un #fediverso davvero utile a tutti. Taggo @fediverso e @filippodb per conoscenza.
Un'altra cosa che avevo letto è che hli hashtag multiparola è meglio scriverli in #camelCase, così che i TTS distinguano e separino le parole.
Confermi?
I'm somcak, a #librarian currently in #Ohio. I have 2 mini #dachshunds and 2 #cats. I enjoy all sorts of music, yes, even death metal on occasion!
I've been on Mastodon since October 2022, and this is my 5th server.
I use content warnings for all sorts of stuff, just trying to be considerate! I always make sure there's #AltText and #CamelCase for my own posts as well as those I boost. #Accessibility matters.
I enjoy learning about #history and #archeology, particularly the #neolithic. I'm also interested in #UrbanPlanning and how we can make communities greener. I have an #ebike and care about #CompleteStreets.
Is there a way to turn off the "helpful" correction of hashtags?
On desktop, it tends to destroy the capitalization that I intentionally include for readability, and on mobile, the popup captures the focus and is hard to dismiss, making edits a pain, plus it tends to "eat" adjacent punctuation.
I just want my text field to be a text field pretty please? 🙂
@larsmb Würde mich mal interessieren, wie viele Bugs Eugen dazu schon geschlossen hat. #CamelCase wird von vielen eingefordert, aber Mastodon arbeitet seit Jahren aktiv dagegen an.
Pour rendre plus lisibles les hashtags de tes pouets, tu peux mettre des capitales à la première lettre des mots. C'est même nécessaire pour être intelligible par les lecteurs d'écrans.
Pour te la péter avec tes copaines qui sont dans la tech, sache que ça s'appelle #PascalCase ou #camelCase selon que le premier mot a une majuscule ou pas.
An 2135. D'un revers de la main, le célèbre archéologue repousse négligemment le graal et les tables de la loi qu'il vient de déterrer. Il sait que ces vieilles reliques n'auront aucun intérêt aux yeux de la Société mondiale d'archéologie et qu'il doit poursuivre sa quête du #SweatAGabin #LeSweatAGabin

Well done to everyone on Mastodon.Scot for staying above the 50% mark, but there’s still a long way to go to get to the top of these rankings.
But thanks to everyone who adds Alt Text to their images. It makes such a huge difference to the timelines of every screen reader user.
You are beautiful people. #AltTexthttps://mastodon.social/@AltTextHealthCheck/111994660926898501
Dear #Fediverse app devs (including the #mastodon web interface itself): PLEASE stop autocorrecting my #CamelCase'd hashtags into all-lower-case.
That's just silly. You should be autocorrecting lower case to camel case instead! Grab the list of all hashtags with the same letters without regard to case, and if there's a plurality of them with the same capitalization (not counting all-lower-case), suggest that. Duh! ;)
In terms of #accessibility, I am told that screen readers can use #CamelCase as hints for how to break up conjoined words. And they're just easier to read in general, e.g.
"The more specific terms Pascal case and upper camel case refer to a joined phrase where the first letter of each word is capitalized, including the initial letter of the first word. Similarly,...
If you want your fediverse posts to be seen by more people interested in their subjects, or you want to find and talk to more people interested in the subjects you post about, hashtags are your friend. You can add them after the body of your posts, or #hashtag words in the post itself.
Be kind, take the extra moment. Fediverse has a solid reputation for inclusion, for thinking about others, we must keep it going. #Fedi#FediTips#new#Help#Newbies#Welcome
Follow people. Follow follow follow. Your feed doesn't get busy until you are following about 200 people. When you see a post you like, follow whoever posted it. Do this for all posts - you can always unfollow later
Hashtags. put hashtag your posts and look for hashtags you are interested in, then repeat 1 - follow people who post on those hashtags. Also put hashtags in your profile. Remember to use #CamelCase & capitalise each word, helps people who use screenreaders
While I'm thinking about it--folks are good about image descriptions, which is great! Let's see everyone capitalizing every word in their tags, too! Screen readers can read each word if they're capitalized. Otherwise they just smoosh all the words together into one incomprehensible super word. #MurderOnTheOrientExpress is way more comprehensible than a word salad. And yes, capitalize those prepositions and articles even though you wouldn't in other forms of writing. Let's keep things nice for everyone.
@checkervest Miners in the Yukon at the turn of the twentieth century woefully referred to the Golden-crowned Sparrow as the “no gold here” bird, because its song resembled that depressing phrase.
My photo from the Marysville CA Audubon bird count, Dec 18.
@ivory The new hashtag features in #Ivory would be much more useful if the app did not make all the #hashtags lowercase. That was common on the old bird place, but #CamelCase is more accessible to people using screen readers and the like. I'm not asking you to convert everything to camel case, but it would be helpful if the app paid attention to the actual hashtags I'm using.
When you use a #Hashtag could you capitalise each word please? That way, people using screen readers will hear each individual word, which means they'll get more useful context as a result.
When you don't capitalise hashtags the words string together and make no sense.
For example #ThisIsHow would read as "This Is How" while #thisishow would sound something like "thissy show". A small change for you but a game changer for many people.
