Always fascinating how upset people get about someone being slightly weird on the website for weird people.
"Welcome to a corner of the internet where we celebrate individuality and freedom, so long as they don't infringe on other people's freedom. Or use archaic letters that take me a moment longer to parse."

I did a bit of a read, apparently the 2 most popular screen reading software sources (jaws and nvda) fully support the thorn character both isolated and in words correctly as of a 2024 review, but it was a major problem in 2022, prompting improvements in recognition.
Oddly, periods at the end of a post are currently considered a larger problem as depending on site syntax the reader has problems with if it should state the existence of a period or not. (something about if there is follow up or classifying it as isolated punctuation that holds unique meaning)
