#CamelCaseTags

2025-04-26

I have a question for everyone: Does it matter if I use #underscore_tags versus if I use #CamelCaseTags?

Personally, I find underscore-based tags to be vastly easier to read honestly, and more flexible too.

If I had my say then the two tag formats would be treated as semantically equivalent, such that the posts tagged with either are pooled together! 💡

Thus, for example, if one post was tagged "c_programming" and another was tagged "CProgramming" then they'd both show up in each other's results.

Does this already happen? If not, then consider it to be a good #feature_request (or #FeatureRequest) for the #Matodon platform.

PS: I also am asking this question on Bluesky tonight to see if I can get an answer there too perhaps.

What are your thoughts?

Oh whooops I just remembered an accessibility tip that I read yesterday: screenreaders are better at reading #CamelCaseTags so #SelfHosting #HomeAutomation #3DPrinting
