This isn't Tiktok I don't have to know how to say it right.

This is Lemmy, it's text-based, and technically the domain is "blahaj" because "å" isn't a valid character in URLs.

Finally, grammar and spelling policing sucks.

Wrong actually, Unicode URLs have been a thing for quite some time now, including domain names.

Well, the instance is still blahaj regardless of what Unicode URLs can do. So it's correct to skip the å because it's not on the actual current url.

Internationalized domain names are stored in the Domain Name System (DNS) as ASCII strings using Punycode transcription.

It's a workaround, not actual support.

If we're gonna be that nitpicky, the entire internet is a workaround

Disagree, I think it's actual support.

Who cares about the technical implementation, it works doesn't it? It is fully supported by all modern systems, you type in the Unicode URLs and you see the correct page. Just because it gets converted to some other encoding along the way doesn't mean it's somehow no longer valid. Lots of things get transcoded along the way, nobody cares about that.
