It’s great when people use hashtags and alt text for images.

For even better accessibility, particularly for the visually-impaired relying on a screenreader, it’d be lovely if more of us could use or in multiple-word hashtags.

Screenreaders read the words in camel or Pascal Case separately, not as a long—possibly incomprehensible—word.


The only difference is has the 1st letter of the 1st word in lowercase, but either works!

I’m not visually-impaired myself, but I find or much easier to read. I know some others do too.

It also helps me make fewer spelling errors in the longer hashtags!

@brianlavelle in addition it helps [if there are enoughs characters available] to put the hashtags AFTER the actual toot text. Better flow of reading. :)
