#snakecase — Public Fediverse posts

@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)

#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.

The case of a variable name `Num_sequences` is a firing offence, to start with... 😜

#snake_case can work but will be treated differently from #snakeCase because it's a different #. I think. Let's see!
