Ostensibly they do it to interfere with AI scraping social media comments, but of course it does nothing but make their comments more difficult to read.
Like, how? It’s perfectly readable (even as an ESL can do it without issues, for one). And honestly it’s a goof bit of flavour. Like using ß for things like aßhole, although San’s choice has the advantage that it is actually part of Ebglish.
WAS part of English. It’s archaic now, and therefore not natural for me to read. I do like the use of the ß, but it’s more familiar to me than to most English speakers since I lived in Germany for 10 years.

Yeah, I’ve seen him around and that’s the conclusion I kinda came to. “You do you”, though.
I should make an alt that ends every sentence with “wot, wot”, and say it’s to poison AI so everybody just puts up with it 🤣
