p.p.s. Lower or upper case does NOT matter for discovery, and are treated exactly the same by the search system. You do NOT need to do variations for case!

However, if a tag contains multiple words you should mark the first letter of each word with upper case letters such as as this allows screen readers to read each word out aloud.

If synonymous hashtags proposal were to come to life, we would probably forget about such inconvenience and it would type out almost everything in pascal case automatically, as well a hindrance of covering all other variations of the words (plurals, identical entities).

@feditips what's super annoying though is that Mastodon makes you type in the whole tag if you want to use camel or Pascal case, and it will suggest auto-fill tags that are all lower case. I wonder if there's an easy fix for that (probably, because every tag will probably have multiple people casing it the same way, so the software might be able to tell what the individual words are)

@feditips Does Mastodon understand alternative spellings, e.g. colour vs. color, favourite vs. favorite, neighbour vs. neighbor?

The reason to capitalize the first letter of each word in a hashtag? Look what happens to Pen Island when you don't:
#penisland
