also I have at least three project ideas (and a nagging feeling I might have forgotten about a fourth one lol). we’ll see what actually happens

I was very glad to see that is connecting to tags.pub now \o/ but sad to see that tags with Japanese characters in them were just getting trimmed to nothing. Now, at least, they should get romanized, although pure kanji is romanized into Mandarin! Still some tuning to do.

I pushed changes to today to use any-ascii on non-ASCII tags, to make them suitable for following from and other ASCII-only services. I have mixed feelings about the results; they're OK but not great. I think I'm going to start sharing from Unicode account names, too, and just let them bounce for servers that don't accept Unicode account names.

It's OK to hate AI because people use it to make something you love to make by hand.
