Is there a way to check whether I'm allowed to create MUCs on a service without creating one?

Unfortunately I think not

It's something we need to fix for sure

pascal eh? now that's a name I haven't heard in awhile

alright why might `chaos@group.pain.agency/nex (it/she) 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️` not be passing stringprep because of the resourcepart?

i figured it is the / but that doesnt seem to violate stringprep the way i thought it did. is it perhaps the emoji not being ascii?

also less of a spec question but if its the emoji, in a bridge context what is the best way to approximate that?

jjj333_p (any pronouns), it’s likely the emoji, resourceprep was only defined up to Unicode 3.2.

Which was before a lot of emoji started existing.

oh boy

tbh non-ascii would almost be easier to pick up and replace

Non-ASCII is usually fine, just not ouside of the codepoints defined in that version of Unicode.

> Non-ASCII is usually fine, just not ouside of the codepoints defined in that version of Unicode. no what im saying is itll be more annoying to iterate over the string and replace the too new chars ↺

unless theres some way in python i do not know about. im about to go to an appointment so i dont have time to figure out that now

why do you need to replace them

usually you have a validation algo, and it just tells you this is invalid, and user can pick something else

that would be annoying for a bridge

if you need a mapping, maybe ask nicoco, as he wrote multiple bridges i bet he has a solution :)

> that would be annoying for a bridge yes, a bridge which my end goal is for it to become functionally invisible in day to day operations ↺

the word salad machine gave me this which seems probably a good option https://bpa.st/DWPA

never trust the word salad machine

.. anyway, about your code..
