Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character?
lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 1 month agoThat’s horrible, the engine is misrepresenting people’s messages. Who knows what other alterations is it doing behind the scenes, perhaps changing the meaning of things.

Lucky for you, python is quite readable and the person who wrote it is available to answer any questions you might have.
Start here https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/2e9189764159a1fdd0243875f3ef76a76bca0bbb/app/utils.py#L553

Two week old change. Rather pointed.
Source code availability only partially addresses your parent’s concerns. I think it’s funny but I think it’s muuuuuuch bigger dick move than adopting an affectation, and it doesn’t reflect well on PieFed. I’m not going to review all the code in the project, I’m just going to pay less attention to the project overall.

So the entire platform has code specifically to spite that one person? Talk about being a whiny sore reddity loser.

Why spite?
People consider something a problem and this fixes the problem. The person can continue writing whatever characters make them happy and the others won’t need to worry about their text being cumbersome to read.
It’s a much more a usability improvement than something done out of spite. I would say the assumption about spite stems from your outlook to the world.
