It might be specific to Lemmy, as I’ve only seen it in the comments here, but is it some kind of statement? It can’t possibly be easier than just writing “th”? And in many comments I see “th” and “þ” being used interchangeably.

    That’s great except for the fact that it doesn’t answer the question and also in a way calls the person asking a liar.

      I’ll agree it doesn’t really answer the “why”, but how is it implying anyone lying?

          Well the only language that is currently officially using it.

          I don’t think you can really say that one guy on Lemmy constitutes anything worth a mention on Wikipedia, as it’s not the language using it, per se, but the specific user.

          But yeah, sure, technically.
