Please consider writing your hashtags in upper camelcase so screen readers have a chance at figuring them out.
#whyistayonmastodon sounds like an giant undecipherable mess of sounds.
#WhyIStayOnMastodon reads out "Why I Stay On Mastodon" 😄
(Reason #44 I stay here: my previous requests like this have been generally well-received, proving that most people are awesome.)

Christof, one of the people who worked hard to get the new #Blender office into shape.
My last name has a 'ü' in it, which causes all kinds of difficulties for people who assume "letter" means "a-z". Recently I found a new problem: "you did not fill in your last name". Yes I did, but you rejected the entire name.
For all the ways I've seen my name messed up by sloppy software, have a look at the long list at https://stuvel.eu/blog/209/my-name-in-the-modern-world

Microsoft is showing how much they love open source by encouraging projects to host their own infrastructure again ❤️

Microsoft couldn't give a rats ass for software freedom. They despise people like me. All their ventures into FOSS, including funding the Linux Foundation, are narrowly self-serving. They continue to extort FOSS developers with software patents.
Microsoft are about as ethical as a drone strike on a wedding party. I've been around in software for a long time, so have seen their manoevrings. They boasted about the extensiveness of their cooperation with the NSA and bugged Skype after they bought it (read the Snowden docs).
