Who had the funny idea to turn tags to lowerCase on auto-completion in the Mastodon Web UI? That's kinda nasty. Especially if I select a tag like "AndroidAppRain" (spelled exactly like that in the suggestion) by typing "AndroidA" and let it auto-complete: "androidappRain" is *NOT* what I'd expect.

I've checked the preferences, but found nothing. Any hints on how to set this to sane defaults? Screenreaders have it easier with CamelCase…

@downeyMichael Downey 🧢 some setting on instance level maybe?
