    My brain reads those as ‘thee’, or however that old English should be written (thee, thou, thy…), so the image is that someone pretty pompous Englishman from 1700s with a powdered wig found fediverse.

    Plus I tested those on duck.ai just for fun and it has absolutely no trouble of reading the thorns, so it only makes reading harder for other humans, specially for us whose native language isn’t English.

      Yeah, the fact that it’s a useless endeavor (and that everyone has been pointing that out for…what, two years?) makes it worse.
