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.

    What I was alluding to, was that it would be nice if English went back to being phonetic language with consistent spelling that reflects what actually is being said.

    Of course that’s not realistic. Especially because of ASCII which is kind of the 21st century version of printing press in this context.
