Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character?

Two week old change. Rather pointed.
Source code availability only partially addresses your parent’s concerns. I think it’s funny but I think it’s muuuuuuch bigger dick move than adopting an affectation, and it doesn’t reflect well on PieFed. I’m not going to review all the code in the project, I’m just going to pay less attention to the project overall.

So the entire platform has code specifically to spite that one person? Talk about being a whiny sore reddity loser.

Why spite?
People consider something a problem and this fixes the problem. The person can continue writing whatever characters make them happy and the others won’t need to worry about their text being cumbersome to read.
It’s a much more a usability improvement than something done out of spite. I would say the assumption about spite stems from your outlook to the world.

No, it replaces thorns (or whatever character) for everyone, as it is built-in into the platform. It would also mean it replaces valid uses of thorn (or whatever character). Such as in quotations, math formulas and the like.
It’s literally just spite. There is no other reason.
It speaks of my worldview yes. I see spite, I should be able to call it as such.
