just wanna re-iterate that if any people of color have requests for things the dev team can address to make Mastodon better for people of color then you always have an open eat with me and I will do my best to make it happen, so long as it is feasible within the OStatus protocol.

@shel Yes, can we set up usernames using Unicode non-Roman characters?

That is: would صقرم@mastodon dot such and such be possible? How would that work with IDNs too.

Has anyone tested that out?

@mastodon @saqeram okay so besides making a GitHub issue I've brought this up in discord, made a pitch, and linked to your post. implementing this is outside my technical expertise but I'm gonna push for it getting onto the task queue
@shel @mastodon many thanks
