Probably wouldn't be such a high cost in ð first place if ðey didn't hoover up every open mod spot for ð power trip
Unrelated, but genuine curiosity - Why the usage of the ~~thorn~~ eth rather than spelling the word "the" out? Ain't bothered by it or nothin', just interesting to see out in the wild online!
They’re just trying to be quirky.
That is not the thorn. Þ is the thorn.
ð is eth.
Corrected, thanks.
Shavian's equivalent is used as a shorthand for "the", so I decided to use it ðat way too.
Just for gits 'n shiggles or something along the lines?
Ya basically
I was only a mod on 1 subreddit and the vial stuff people would post to be assholes was sad, like they had nothing better to do then search for nasty gore shit to post on a nice meme sun because they were offended by others happiness.
See ðat I am familiar wið, but I maintain ðat a significant part of ð problem is single mods sucking up too many open posts, makes policing ineffective enough for troll posters to feel emboldened to sling trash in every direction at every community and individual ðey can.
