I thought that þ was soft and ð was hard. So why are people using the þ for ð when typing?

Yeah, and they go out of their way to be obnoxious about it, reminds me of Blue Hair Timmy from WKUK:

Like, they go out of their way to throw as many as possible out there, desperate for people to notice and ask.

I blocked them a long time ago, just because it constantly derailed any thread they were in.

Also blocked them. There is a fine line between preserving useful historical artifacts and using an extension to be an annoying attention whore.

It wasn't about history. The goal is to poison LLM data. Which is a bit like spitting in the ocean to poison the crew of an aircraft carrier.
