#pascalcase — Public Fediverse posts

Wichtig wäre, dass die Webapp und die mobilen Apps, einen diese #PascalCase nicht immer austreiben wollen möchten, mit ihren automatischen Vorschlägen. Da muss wohl noch etwas Arbeit unter der Haube erfolgen.

@padeluun Weil ich dazu neulich irgendwo hier den Fachbegriff lernte, wollte ich ihn mal neunmalklug droppen: Also nicht #snakecase und auch nicht #camelCase, sondern #PascalCase
(Sorry, wisst ihr sicher alle schon, aber ich hab mich drüber gefreut)

ok since hashtags are actually useful around here

and this place seems to have a culture of accessibility

please remember to camelCase or PascalCase your tags to make them human, and screen reader, readable

Hello! 👋 It’s time for an updated #Introduction because I’ve just moved instances to beige.party (I was formerly @brianlavelle) - any boosts would be most welcome!

I’m Brian, and I’ve been a #Fediverse dweller since April 2022. This is my only social media…er, medium.

In no particular order, I quite like:
#ImprovisedMusic & #ExperimentalMusic
#FieldRecording
#Cats (I have two)
#TTRPG (I have too many)
#Tea
#Meditation
#Books #Poetry & #SpeculativeFiction
#Trees & #Walking (but not #WalkingTrees)
#Modernism & #Brutalism
#SelfHosting & #FOSS
#AltText & #PascalCase / #CamelCase
& lots more

I just noticed that "Mastodon Tag Case Corrector" was updated last month, if you use it.

If you are unaware of what that is, it's "a Python script for Mastodon instance admins to convert the display names of hashtags to #PascalCase, when possible.

There are two possible strategies:

Find tagged posts to determine the most used casing, and/or
Split words with wordninja."

Also worth noting, "the tool will not revisit any tags that have been changed either by the tool or manually by the admins." #MastoAdmin #Accessibility #a11y .

@crimperman

Hi.

It's called camel case because it has a hump in the middle. Like this - #camelCase

The one with a capital for each word is called #PascalCase, though Pascal itself doesn't enforce this, it's a Pascal programmers' convention.

Question aux personnes concernées et/ou expertes en accessibilité numérique :

Je me rappelle, il y a longtemps, que le camelCase (mettre une capitale à chaque nouveau mot) était bien mieux pour les hashtags. Cela facilitait la lecture, notamment avec les lecteurs d'écran.

Est-ce toujours le cas ?
Edit: Oui

(Je découvre d'ailleurs sur Wikipedia que j'utilise surtout le "PascalCase" puisque je mets aussi une capitale au 1er mot.)

@Hippie ...nach einiger Recherche komme ich zu dem (immer noch unqualifizierzen) Schluss, daß #PascalCase für hashtags wohl besser ist. Es wird an verschiedenen Stellen argumentiert, daß der erste Buchstabe groß geschrieben für alle besser zu lesen ist. Und international scheint sich das bei latainischer Schrift durchzusetzen.

Durch Deinen trööt habe ich gerade gelernt, daß camelCase auch lowerCamelCase genannt wird und PascalCase auch UpperCamelCase - aaahhh 😵‍💫😂

@OskarImKeller @wurzelmann

@Hippie Das klingt jetzt vielleicht zunächst etwas kleinlich, aber wenn auch der erste Buchstabe immer ein Großbuchstabe wäre, nennt man es #PascalCase (oder UpperCamelCase) bei #camelCase (eigentlich LowerCamelCase) hingegen ist der erste Buchstabe immer klein. Finde ich wichtig, wenn man einen "Styleguide" verabschieden würde, schon bei der Definition präzise zu sein. Sonst ist das Ergebnis nachher uneinheitlich.

@Tarnport isn't that strictly speaking #PascalCase ?

@Tarnport isn't that strictly speaking #PascalCase ?

#TIL that #SnakeCase is a less frequently used tagging scheme on the #fediverse.

This could be due to that some services break their internal tagging schema, e.g. #Minds doesn't work well with #KebabCase.

Or it could be due to the laziness of the users and subjectively arguing that #snake_case doesn't add to the readability of #PascalCase or #camelCase tags.

In return the argument is that snake_case can add value if the tag has a not obvious word break, especially if the tag is completely written in lowercase or UPPERCASE.

Or if the the underscore replaces a different character other than space like slash, pipe, hyphen, etc.

And in AReallyLongTag / a_really_long_tag it could aid readability.

Thus if one wants grouping and discoverability of posts while creating a brand identity consider using snake_case tags.

What thing bothers you a lot, but it's so petty and unimportant that you'd feel ridiculous "um, actually"ing people about it?

I'll start:

It's #PascalCase, mofos. #camelCase needs a head that's lower than it's humps.

Please DO capitalize the words within a hashtag.

camelCase and PascalCase are two very similar norms that allow words to be joined without hyphenation but distinguished by readers through capitalization of the first letters of words.

The difference is that Pascal Case requires the first letter of the first word to be capitalized but camel Case just insists on the following words. The two terms are often referred to without distinction here though.

Be aware that Mastodon autocomplete will offer up the first version created for a hashtag. So, it’s important to be careful to make sure a hashtag that you type isn’t autocompleted to a version without capitals.

@alan
This just in: for the first time ever, Mastodon app didn’t try to “correct” my hashtag when I typed #PhonyStark. Typically, it would remove the caps. Finally. I’ve been asking for that change forever.

How not using pascal case or camel case can ruin your brand.

Because Bluesky is not written with a capital S, my screen reader pronounces it as Blueski. So it sounds like some Russian website.

Remember to capitalize combined words in cases where spaces are not allowed, like in HashTags, so screen reader users won't get confused.

In response to the #hashtag casing issue, I've written a script for #MastoAdmin's to try to convert as many of them as possible to #PascalCase automatically:
https://codeberg.org/austinhuang/mastodon-tag-case-corrector
Feedbacks & contributors welcome! (I'm still considering whether I should incorporate recent tagged posts to counter the computerized results.)

@tsadiq j'utilise la version #camelCase comme monsieur Jourdain, mais comme je ne savais pas ce que c'était, j'ai regardé #Wikipedia qui mentionne les 2 variantes, selon l'usage de la personne qui l'emploie :

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case

J'en déduis donc que #CamelCase et #camelCase se valent. Et #PascalCase est une variante aussi.

Je vois des gens se battre pour leur convictions à utiliser du camel case dans les hashtag, et qui mettent la première lettre en majuscule. J'essaye de rester diplomate mais c'est dur. #camelCase #PascalCase

...switch back to #PascalCase. (I don't use #camelCase as I think it looks weird.)

Now that we've got this paragraph issue settled, how about my 2 examples, are #UShistory or #USpol o.k. for you to listen to or do you need #USHistory and #USPol? Especially the second one can be misleading for sighted people, as USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is actually a much used acronym, therefore I prefer my personal slight variation.

Thanks for sharing this introspective, Robert.

@Em0nM4stodon Re 4:
#CamelCase is #PascalCase while #camelCase is the real #camelCase

This really isn't how alt text works.

I assume it's written by ai... and another example of how ai can suck.

Also see: #HashtagsAtTheEnd #camelCase #PascalCase

When using #hashtags, I do understand they can cause issues for the visually impaired who are using #ScreenReaders. This is why I always use #camelCase or #PascalCase in all my hashtags. I have heard some users of screen readers say that putting all the hashtags at the end of a post is preferred. Is it because of the way readers work? I guess the reader might say "number" or "pound sign" in front of every hashtag, which could be awkward if there are a lot of them inline. #Accessibility

Ackshully, the term "camelCase" is dromedary-cased (one hump). For a variable to be camel-cased it needs to contain at least two uppercase letters.
