one thing i am enjoying about Andor so far is that the villains are all people who believe in The System in various ways and who soon discover that the feeling is not mutual

@gaditb @essentialrandom long series of changes; i think they all predate 4.0:

• use user-provided casing in autosuggest: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/8394
• use the first casing as the default in the backend without intervention: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/11416
• trending tags UI, which allows editing of casing: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/11490

@gaditb @essentialrandom there is a reverse-network effect here too: because people (historically) haven't been able to use mastodon as "passive consumption" social media very well (because all of the big content creators weren't here), the people who stick around tend to be the people with active social investments in the community. that means that when the community decides “let's do this”… people actually do it. it doesn't feel like a huge uphill climb where most people don't care; you can just click on the local timeline for any instance and find people actively interested in making that instance better.

not all of them have the right ideas about what “making it better” means or how to go about it, but

@egnor like yuck but more… eep-y

@gaditb @essentialrandom (admins actually now CAN edit the default casing of a tag to make it camelcase, so there was actually a code change which resulted from this discussion. eugen added it as part of the trends review workflow.)
