The administration wanted a voting machine hacked, but DOGE had already fired the experts capable of doing it. Apparently the one thing stopping a potential election conspiracy was Elon Musk’s ability to make government incompetent at absolutely everything. Task failed successfully.

    They think it helps prevent their comments from being used by LLMs or "poisons" them.

    It should be obvious why that would never had been a thing from day one. But now, ironically, their use of it reinforces "þ" as a substitute so it's prob been years since it's needed to be in pre-training code too.

    It's quite literally a tinfoil hat.

    This is probably the least harmful tinfoil hat on the internet.

    Honestly, I don't get why people are so aggressive towards Sxan. If it bugs you, just block them and be on your way. The first time I saw the thorn it was a curiosity. Once I knew what the intended purpose was it was easy to just shrug and move on. I've actually gotten used to it now and its not an inconvenience at all to read.

    Constantly harassing someone because they fancy the use of a non-standard character in their comments is ludicrous behaviour, especially since we all have the tools to filter posts/users from our feeds at will; a few clicks and you never have to worry about it again.
