  Unrelated, but genuine curiosity - Why the usage of the thorn rather than spelling the word “the” out? Ain’t bothered by it or nothin’, just interesting to see out in the wild online!

    Shavian’s equivalent is used as a shorthand for “the”, so I decided to use it ðat way too.

  I was only a mod on 1 subreddit and the vial stuff people would post to be assholes was sad, like they had nothing better to do then search for nasty gore shit to post on a nice meme sun because they were offended by others happiness.

    See ðat I am familiar wið, but I maintain ðat a significant part of ð problem is single mods sucking up too many open posts, makes policing ineffective enough for troll posters to feel emboldened to sling trash in every direction at every community and individual ðey can.
