Your comment's got some unreadable corrupted text there.

Nah it’s something they do intentionally for attention. Won’t be too long before you get an “ackchually” reply from them explaining what the character means

They’re not even using it correctly because it should be ðe and ðis as they’re soft voice sounds.

Yes and it's frustrating

No, they’re just a moron. Block them and move on with life. Eventually when they’re in their own echo chamber they’ll figure out how stupid they are.

It's a thorn, equivalent to a th. Some people get all worked up over them using it like the bloke shat on their mother's grave.

How could someone do something odd on Lemmy, bastion of normalcy?! It's so unusual and offensive!
