Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be camel case. I made this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags depending on whether they are lowercase or camel case.

"Processes."
"Indeed."
The dragon started packing away swords. "You won't be needing these, then."
"Er... Would princesses?"
"Oh, yes."
