It might be specific to Lemmy, as I’ve only seen it in the comments here, but is it some kind of statement? It can’t possibly be easier than just writing “th”? And in many comments I see “th” and “þ” being used interchangeably.

      It’s a stupid affection that hurts usability.

      If everyone tried this crap Lemmy would be a wasteland.

        Good thing not everyone is ever going to do that. Just let people be a little weird maybe? Or block them if it bothers you

        It’s really innocuous. I get it can be annoying but it’s like one dude replacing like half of his "th"s with þ. I don’t think a single character is going to bring Lemmy to its knees.
