I think this weird trend is dumb. But I also think this meme is mean spirited and is also dumb.
Its like adding spice to the language, and sadly some people just can't handle anything that isn't children's food.
More "switching brand of margarine" than "adding spice", IMO.
Þhat's just, like, your opinion, man
Yeah, I'll admit, as soon as I see it I stop reading.
Iceland over here like the 50 Cent "why he say fuck me for" meme
Who are we talking about again? Pretty sure I blocked that guy almost instantly.
Þuck my balls!
What the hell is thucking?
Þuffering Þuccotash.
You're all a bunch of sad mean assholes if something like that causes you to ridicule someone over something so trivial. Wishing you all the same
Not that I expect to see it ever happen, but English could benefit from an alphabet/writing revamp like Korea did.
I don't know any Korean but understand that it's one of the easier languages to learn because of that.
I do know that Japanese was pretty easy to read, at least before any Kanji are involved. Despite having two alphabets (think like if for bold text, we had different symbols instead of making the same ones heavier, though they have other uses in Japanese, too). It's because they are always pronounced the same, no contextual changes. It gave the impression that Japanese was easy to learn (until Kanji smashed that idea to pieces lol).
I agree with the conclusion, and it is a little cringe, but ultimately, it's not THAT much of a problem to get worked up over.
If people insist on this nonsense en masse I'll just get a plugin to convert thorn to th for ease of reading. No big deal, life goes on for both parties.

Yes, I've installed a Runic keyboard on NixOS - what about it?
Ah yes, English. The language with the most inconsistent orthography and pronunciation.
Þis is bullshit.
But how else am I going to show everyone I'm a special little boy that will single handedly bring down AI learning
Don't tell Sxen then
Why not just block them?
