@Grrsly Adams Family Vacation I have a hard time reading non-capitalized hashtags as well, and I'm not using a separate reader, so it benefits everybody, really.

Same. My eyes are bad but not sufficiently so to need a reader.

Don’t ask anyone to do anything 💯 of the time. Mastodon interpretation is interesting, not sure if there’s a majority or if it will default to lowercase spelling. It retains capatilization, but prompts with lowercase by default, I think.

@Grrsly Adams Family Vacation This is the case on Friendica unfortunately. If you type a hashtag yourself it will retain the capitalization, but the auto-completion is lower-case only. I understand the reasoning, hashtag search is case-insensitive so it is stored internally all lowercase, but it isn't ideal for the reason you said.
