    Remember the Roman empire. It was a kingdom at the start, then a republic and then a dictatorship.

      I'm confused about who this post is really aimed at. Personally I don't know anyone who suddenly decided that trump is a bad person because of this one latest act of draconian nonsense.

        That’s actually the ‘thorn’ symbol, representative of the ‘th’ sound. It was used in old English, with the example everyone might know being for the word ‘the’. It was spelled þe, with ‘y’ being used as a placeholder representation of thorn, and so thus we got “ye olde”.

        Could be an intentional stylistic choice, could be that they are Icelandic (as thorn is still used in their modern alphabet iirc), but it’s arguably not technically incorrect.

        Right but we're speaking English that doesn't contain that symbol so why is it there?

          Your keyboards all messed up btw, seems to be combining t and h into archaic nonsense for some reason.

          The keyboard's not broken, they're doing it on purpose because they're a prat. They're trying to be some meme account, like poemforyoursprog, except not as good and way more annoying.

            I mean, I gave my guesses in the comment you’re replying to, but your guess is likely just as good as mine. Someone else mentioned that people had apparently been doing it to try and disrupt LLMs training on their scraped comment text, but I hadn’t heard anything about that so idk.
