Jim DeLaHuntTerence @Edent, Jason @north, Hong @hongminhee, I appreciate your steps in #i18n for #FediVerse. Do you plan to attend #FediForum next week (28-30 April, 15-20h UTC)? I will propose a session on "Globally-inclusive Fediverse handles". If you were present, it would improve the session. I think Philip Patsch @Profpatsch will demo too. https://fediforum.org/2026-04/ #GloballyInclusive #UniversalAcceptance #Multilingual
@Profpatsch You "added #Unicode username support to #flohmarkt" last month — wonderful to hear! I will look for your demo at #FediForum. I will propose a session on "#Globally-inclusive Fediverse handles". If you were present, it would improve the session. #UniversalAcceptance #Multilingual
