 Which clients are being bad with tags? 🤔 
 I bet all my money that it's Primal 
 If I knew I would tell Jack Dorsey to delete them off Nostr. 
 Adding this to my keynote. 
 Amethyst always does the case the user has written in he post and another one in lowercase. 🫢 
 It's your fault that npub.pro has #GrowNostr and #grownostr 😡 
 Maybe we should add an option to specify a black/whitelist of hashtags you'd want to see appearing on your site? Then you'd choose some good list and then the garbage wouldn't annoy anyone. 
 In fact, the problem is a bit broader than it seems if we're talking about languages other than English. That's why Amethyst's approach makes sense 😳 
 > 'こんにちは'.toLowerCase()
"こんにちは"

Seems fine 
 That's exactly the point—it's unethical concerning the English language because this decision is selectively discriminatory. And writing systems without distinct upper or lower case do not undergo the correction required for the English language, putting them in a privileged position.

From this perspective, what Amethyst is doing is progressive and fair. 
 I thought we decided in the NIPs it should be lowercase. But I can't find it now. 
 One of the many ideas that never get merged 
 Get em 
 It's really strange to hear any complaints from someone who created mostr and brought so much pain to our community 😑  
 The horror!! 
 🥴  but he's right though, why the hell do you need 3 tags for the same thing? 
 I love bItCoIn so much that everyone should know it! #bitcoin #Bitcoin #BITCOIN  
 🧩  
 Oh no, not true interoperability! 
 I appreciate the chuckle I had, but CamelCase hashtags are pretty essential for screen reader accessibility for multi/compound word tags. But not sure how a policy could properly account for that. 
 The tags in text can be #AnyCaseYouWant, but the "t" tag in the Nostr event data must be lowercase. 
 Ah, got it. Thanks! 
 Nobody follows that rule 🤣 Relays are fed tons of poorly composed events every day.

 Haha this looks bad in Primal cause it doesn’t render it as a highlight and doesn’t show the context 😂 
 I was just looking at it. You answered my question of what kind 9802 was. I should display this better in Ditto. 
 Damus just added highlight support for Purple users https://i.nostr.build/nIZ1lGC7kqdccyAz.jpg  
 Gonna add `awk '{ print tolower($0) }'` to nostr.sh lest I get steamrolled.

 uppercase is overrated

odell included

you may have noticed i am not in the habit of chording with the shift key unless it's due to piety or clarity
