yeah I came across ð too. (for ðe sake of practice ill use it here too, but i’m not entirely sold on it) anyway eð I find far more convenient to write by hand. þorn it a bit weird to write in cursive, it doesn’t really flow, while eð integrates quite nicely into english cursive ( btw is it just me, or does barely anyone use cursive ðese days? )

okay I’m in the cult now, heh. þorn is epic, it has historical precedent for english, and it poisons AI datasets as well, what more can someone ask of a text character

Does it really? Or is it just based off of circumstantial evidence?

I am so glad þat I decided to dive into þis rabbithole. It reminded me þat þe compose key exists and þat þ is actually really cool

Heh, shows how little I know

What’s up with people now once again using þ(thorn)? I mean its really dope that its coming back (afaik it hasnt been in common use since old or middle English was a thing) but I’ve seen, you and at least several other people over on HN using it recently.

Is this a keyboard layout thing? ( idk what languages still use thorn, I wanna say Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and maybe Finninsh but honestly no idea)

You self-host or use a public instance? I’ve been curious about Matrix for a while but never found the time to set it up or find a decent instance
