New description:

 Hello! I'm seeing an error when attempting to save any .xyz domain in my
 profile. To reproduce, in the website section of your profile add
 `something.xyz` and see

 {{{
 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading
 'replace')
     at Function.template (underscore.min.js?ver=1.13.4:2:14731)
     at Object.success (functions.js?ver=20191120:44:29)
     at c (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:25304)
     at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (
 }}}

 I saw that https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6421 was opened in the
 past for this and was able to get it solved at the specific domain level,
 but I'm wondering if we need something more permanent for future folks
 hitting this. This is not a unique problem, spam filters often with good
 reason auto-send .xyz domain emails to spam.

 The website field in my profile I was attempting to set was `3ov.xyz`
 which YES I have domain regrets and sadly can't really change it at the
 moment. Feel free to close if this still isn't a big enough issue.

Comment:

 It looks like the JS error you're seeing is unrelated, I'm not sure what
 component it's coming from though.

 I've updated your profile.

 In short: Akismet believed your profile was spam, the description combined
 with `.xyz` likely pushed it over the threshold, unfortunately many .xyz
 domains are full of spam so I'm guessing it's heavier in their algorithms
 (I know nothing about the internals of Akismet)
