Because URLs are usually in ASCII. That was a standard. Check RFC 1738 and 3986. Now, you can use percent encoding, but why use that. It just complicates things.

You won’t get non latin usernames anytime soon. But you can change the display name using non latin charactets
I don’t know. I primarily use Mull on android because it is a hardened version of Firefox. No issues with it so far.
Firefox’s sandboxing sucks ass (especially on Linux). Mozilla has still not implemented a better sandbox, despite the open discussion since years. GrapheneOS (a security and privacy focused aosp rom) uses Chromium for its browser Vanadium because it ultimately is undoubtedly more secure. Google pumps millions into their chrome security team.
So while not that good for privacy, chrome/chromium is better for security.
If that were to happen, the receiving end wouldn’t know who sent which vote, thus making spamming extremely easy.
Mull is not made by Mullvad. Mull is made by the dev of DivestOS.
Mull is a hardened fork of Firefox. I use it but some rare websites’ functionality does not work with it. Mull is not more secure than Chromium though, even if it is hardened. Chromium is undoubtedly more secure but not privacy-friendly. I also don’t want to support the chromium monopoly, so I don’t use them. Brave as a browser also sucks. Shields suck. Nothing to this day has been better than uBlock Origin yet.
Nothing happened How dare you fool me like this?!?
If it means my code won’t panic out of nowhere and cause a disaster for me, I am willing to “take a vacation” for my program to finish compiling.
Wdym not discoverable. Lemmy instances have been indexed for years
Assuming most people use Google, when searching for “lemmy”, it is the third search before some guy named lemmy and when searching for “join lemmy” (logically) it’s the first. So we can conclude that people don’t use it because most of the people link to lemmy.world and not to join-lemmy.org. Most likely not everyone searches for “join lemmy” anyways since most people come from Reddit.
I use rust btw.
I mean, all cmake does is run some commands for you. You not understanding cmake errors (mostly) means you don’t understand the errors given to you by the C/C++ compiler.
That’s extra work to be done when we already have a join-lemmy.org website by the official devs that does what you want. People changing the link in their comments from lemmy.world to join-lemmy.org is not hard, is it?
Using ASCII in URLs is simple and is less error prone than “supporting” unicode via percent encoding. It is also just a convention to use ASCII for usernames in many platforms. ASCII is also supported out of the box in major OSes while some unicode characters might not. What about impersonation? And what about people trying to type in the username of someone that uses unicode? It is not logical to use unicode in this case.
