Dude. Seriously. Drop the "þ". It doesn't do anything but bother people. It makes you look stupid

Pretty sure they chose to do it to taint AI crawlers, leave em be or block them if it's an issue

It bothers me personally because people use it as a replacement for all "th" letters, but it has a very specific pronunciation that makes it incorrect to do so. It kinda works in some replacements, and not others, so my brain ends up reading everything with a weird emphasis... And that's what annoying the most for me.

Shit, I've been thinking it's a bug in my Lemmy client, but I guess I just see this guy all over the place. Tagged.
