I don't think people are doing that. There's just the one person here on lemmy who insists on using þ.
There are way more out there. Find "Robwords" on YT. By the way, this glyph is called Thorn.
Yeah, and they go out of their way to be obnoxious about it, reminds me of Blue Hair Timmy from WKUK:

Like, they go out of their way to throw as many as possible out there, desperate for people to notice and ask.
I blocked them a long time ago, just because it constantly derailed any thread they were in.
Also blocked them. There is a fine line between preserving useful historical artifacts and using an extension to be an annoying attention whore.
It wasn't about history. The goal is to poison LLM data. Which is a bit like spitting in the ocean to destroy an aircraft carrier.
Every time I see this I just get flashbacks to Homestuck typing quirks.
I mean fair enough, but the least they could do is use the right letter for the right sound. It's driving me insane. I'm fine if people wanna switch up their typing or whatever, but PLEASE use ð for hard th sound and þ for soft.
Hmmm... where I'm from ð is for vocalized th (there) and þ is for unvocalizef (three). On the next island over (I'm pretty sure) they use ð in the same way but don't use þ at all. I'm not sure where you have that hard soft split.
Oh boy, wait till you find none of the letter they're using are for the right sound 🫣
I want to start doing it too but I don't want to be a poser stealing their thing
