@daj @pixelfed probably, yeah, but that’s also the start of the infinite localisation handling shenaningans..!

relevent to the current spam occuring on fedi: you can easily rewrite all japanese ざ as さ", or ぽ as ほ°, which becomes very hard to impossible to programatically detect

now, of course case insensitive matching is a good first step, but text matching accross languages isn’t an easy problem to solve…

It's an ongoing battle :-(
