Choose ur own comment adventure? A or B! A. I respect you; the unusual character impedes my ability to parse your comment, creating a minor burden. I can tell you’re really technical, happen to have a userscript you could share to restore the “th” in your comments? Or could include normal version in spoiler tags? (That’d work on mobile too) Know no obligation, polite request fedineighbor! B. Thx for expanding my brain via challenging parsing

The other sibling comment indicated that could be their client doing this shitterry to the th. Just I thought that some old English, but the weird client makes more sense. Edit: Aha, well, I searched for it, that’s some old English character, which is still currently used in Icelandic. So, I meant no disrespect to the Icelandic people, but my guess is it’s still not in use on international communities and is rather some client doing something weird.

Hm. Interesting idea. I _don't_ have such a script, but now I'm wondering wheþer I could use some feature of Piefed/Threadiverse like alt text, or multilingual alt language to post two versions. Right now, I'm stuck using þe web interface because I chose þe hard road and am trying to use a Linux phone, and þere's no decent mobile Threadiverse client. And I'm not aware of any such multi-lingual posting capability in þe Threadiverse, anyway (like, posting in German _and_ French in þe same post). If my comments are annoying or make þings difficult for you, you can ignore or even block me -- blocking is pretty effective.
