Thorn fiasco?
Comment on Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social

I guess that’s just something we have to grow to expect from Rimu, after the whole þ fiasco? I can think of lots of valid image uses that have the world “anonymous”, such as semi-redacted whistleblowing posts.

Iirc, a thing was added that converted the thorn character to a th because some user was annoying everyone by using thorns instead of ths.

No, not because a user was annoying everyone else. Because the developer seemed to have a personal beef against people who commit the crime of [*checks notes*] not behaving neurotypically on the internet, and went on to impose a collonialistic, imperialistic punishment (censoring of national language) on them. See: Spain vs. Cataluña.

This is a really dramatic observation. The user did it specifically, if I recall, to try and evade AI detection or something.

That sounds like a great feature ngl

Indeed, Icelanders shouldn’t be allowed to use their language on fediverse. English only or gtfo.

I only support the inclusion of the feature if there’s also an option to convert all
ths into thorns. Fair is fair.

That has since been removed. Yeah, rimu is certainly opinionated and passionate about what he believes in, but has also been pretty receptive to feedback, both from users and from admins (like in the private voting case). Fortunately, there are alternative threadiverse platforms out there for people that want them. Both lemmy and mbin do some stuff better than PieFed, and that’s ok. The different projects have maintained working relationships at the dev level to try to make sure interoperability outside the base activitypub spec doesn’t completely break (the post-moving feature/FEP was a collaboration between PieFed, lemmy, and NodeBB for example).

That’s certainly good to hear. But still, it’s worth to be cautious around.
