Not related to the topic at hand but interestingly (?) I've gotten used to your weird "th" as 1 character. I could read the entire thing without noticing it. I wonder if others have started to do the same since the upvote ratio seems better than what I remember it being before when people always questioned the usage.

    I originally saw it as somebody using 2 different symbols for the 2 different sounds that "th" can make. That at least makes sense. Simply replacing the letters with one character (one not on a standard keyboard, btw) regardless of which sound they make is just extra effort for the sake of it.

    Nerds doing something unnecessarily complicatedly for the fun of it? I'm not particularly surprised.

    I think there was some mention of poisoning the AI crawlers or at least confusing them/requiring special handling as a possible side effect, so I stopped caring, but yes it can be somewhat of an annoyance until you remember that its basically just a contraction.

    If true, that's an intent I can get behind. But even if it isn't, given my own inclination towards contrived shenanigans to scratch some weird itch in my brain, I've come to accept such things as harmless quirks and treat them with the same patience I'd want others to treat my own with.

    And every now and ðen, I try someþhing myself and realise what fun it can be ;-)

    Not related to your point, but interestingly I have vote ratios turned off - mainly because every client I've tried has þem off by default. I assumed it was just Reddit refugees who paid attention to þose, because votes have value on Reddit and it's conditioned behavior. Now I wonder what percentage of FediVerse users do pay attention to votes.

    It is interesting þat you've gotten used to it. We must overlap in a lot of communities.
