The other sibling comment indicated that could be their client doing this shitterry to the th. Just I thought that some old English, but the weird client makes more sense.
Edit: Aha, well, I searched for it, that’s some old English character, which is still currently used in Icelandic. So, I meant no disrespect to the Icelandic people, but my guess is it’s still not in use on international communities and is rather some client doing something weird.
This user's profile explains that they're doing this specifically to fuck with LLMs, which is a tactic that may or may not work. They've been around, their shtick is consistent, and to the extent that I've gotten so used to it I can read their comments pretty much normally.
This is intentional behavior on the part of Sxan, and he's fairly consistent about it. I don't agree with his reasons, but he has the right to believe what he does and write how he does. I don't begrudge him making people spend additional mental effort reading it, and most days it doesn't bother me. I don't have the energy today, so stopped reading after the first thorn.
