Yeah, heaven forbid anyone have fun on the Internet.
Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character?

This person has been informed that the character is worthless at its stated goal of being AI poison. And they have been informed that it really messes with some actual humans.
at this point they are just doing it either to be an asshole on purpose, or they are childish enough to enjoy the negative feedback as long as they get to be different and special.

if your idea of fun is making it harder for other people to read your posts for no reason other than annoying them.
it made sense at first if they actually believed that this was going to do anything to an AI scraper. But they obviously know by now that that's not the case.

Which is weird, because it took exactly 2 seconds to find out that th equals th by reading an entire sentence, and thereafter one can read the text just about as good as normal text.
People who struggle with th maybe has other reading issues 🤷Bo7a@piefed.ca 1 day ago
The point is that they are doing it purely to be annoying at this point. They have been shown many times, by people who actually work in the model training space, that their stated purpose is not achieving what they want.

But start shaming them publicly and they go whining to the mods or .world who threaten to block you.

Yeah, I blocked em because it was too annoying trying to parse their posts - and the comments weren’t very contributory anyway

Same. Their comments felt like a mechanism to deliver thorns into my eyeballs, and I said no more.

Harsh! I thought it was just someone with a non-English keyboard that wasn’t configured correctly.
