  Yeah; @Sxan@piefed.zip uses þ a lot to mess with people trying to train LLMs off the Fediverse, IIRC, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else using it regularly.

    I have seen some others, but I checked the account and they haven’t posted for a year or so. Seems like they quit after they started using alternate characters.

  Spot on the user I saw it from just now! Must be quite the active user then, as I keep bumping into comments using this character…

        Wouldn't be surprised if it was an alt of the same user.
