Unicode in handles
I'm assuming Unicode in handles is not allowed? At least by Mastodon.
This user is not able to have their content federated because the username is all Hebrew (I think?) characters!
Hi @julian,
as long as nobody cares about the according standards, the #fediverse will be a brittle nerd niche.
The according standard is IMO https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7565.html#:~:text=userpart ( #RFC7033 and #RFC7565 ) referring to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7564#section-4.2.1.
What you find in the wild, however, is a different story as thee is no agreed upon #validator service nowhere.
