Description

For better readability with screen readers, a common advice is to use camel case in hashtags. E.g., #SelfHosting instead of #selfhosting. This is especially important for blind folks who are dependent on screen readers.

Ice Cubes behavior is, that even if hashtags are written in camel case when writing a post, the hashtags appear all lower case after sending.

The request is to keep camel casing for hashtags.

Research direction

Trace hashtag handling from post composition through sending and display, starting with the code paths responsible for normalizing hashtag text. Reproduce the issue with #SelfHosting, then verify that the camel case is preserved after sending without breaking hashtag recognition.
