Is it really that hard to read? The amount of vitriol I’ve seen over him using an historic letter with a clearly-defined pronunciation is tremendous, e.g. ITT.
Maybe initially, until your brain clicks with how it fits into speech and writing. It’s pretty natural to read their stuff at this point, for me at least.
Unless you have dyslexia, of course. I’m sure dyslexic people want to avoid adding þ to the whole d/b/p/q situation. I kinda like her tho.
I couldn’t read it, but also I don’t care enough to try.
So the moral of the story: you do you, but don’t whine if a lot of people don’t absorb your information. At some point you have to ask if you’re just performing for yourself or if you actually care about what you’re saying on a broader level.
I think it’s annoying so I blocked em after like the third comment of theirs that I saw. I then proceeded to move on and not think about them at all, let alone make a post.
Same thing with Drag and probably a bunch of other people I blocked. They are free to type whatever they like, but I’m not gonna see it.
Yeah also blocked 'em. There are some absolute knobs on this site. I swear on reddit my block list was over a hundred deep after 10 years. Here it went up to a hundred within a couple months.
It’s the smaller-community vibe makes trolls and people with personality disorders feel like they get more response fucking with people. People on larger sites I think they are more hesitant to get scrutiny from larger numbers of people, which really betrays how insecure they are.
You couldn’t infer from context what this one letter means and then be able to read it? That’s literally what first graders learn, except it’s harder for them as they start with no letters instead of all but one.
If your choice of self expression makes me stumble when trying to read it, I am not making extra effort. This is how most people feel. It must feel spectacular being so incredibly smart in a world full of first graders. You must be fabulously wealthy and powerful.
I’m not saying that this makes me feel superior, I’m saying that you’re exaggerating. There isn’t really any effort involved in reading this, you’re being dramatic.
You’re just egotistical and self-centered. But if I were being dramatic I wouldn’t have bothered giving you the hard truth of reality: If you don’t make the most basic effort towards clear communication, especially if you’re doing it on purpose, people are going to gloss over what you said or not take you seriously, and you will get ignored and shut out of further communication.
There is an effort needed to understand it. I can read fast but can’t read their post fast. They don’t respect others enough to be comfortably understandable. They don’t respect people with disabilities (of any kind). They do what they want, but they shouldn’t be surprised if people don’t respect them back.
Plus it’s fully performative and attention seeking. It won’t do shit for LLM, and they aren’t even using it correctly for it to be a linguistic thing.
I’m not looking for puzzles when conversing with fellow humans.
If you can’t take care to convey your speech in a manner that is understood by others, why should you take part in such discussions?

To those who use screen readers or other accessibility tools yes.
The thorn looks too much like a poorly written p for it to be easily read.
Pfft, go real old school and call it thurisaz.

Are they whining about that? I never took Sxan as the type of person to complain.

Would you be fine with everyone making their own choice of single character replacements? Or does this only work because it’s just one person?
All at once, or do we get a month to slowly introduce the new kibble? 'Cause that’s, like, all of human history, man.

Like I’m doing now.

I think of it like a fun puzzle. Like being able to read a 24-hour clock.
Or je can t’écrire en franglais but je am pretty sure tu comprendra n’in. Est-ce that be simple to lire ?
Just take it like a puzzle.

I think it’s funny.
