    Same reason lemmy downvotes Sxan for using a thorn.

    Lemmy: We support diversity! The weirder you are the better! We accept all people!

    Also lemmy: Fuck your thorns.

      Understandable, since introducing foreign elements into a communication protocol makes it harder to parse.

      Same for the gendern movement in german media btw. It doesn’t make the language more inclusive, but inclusivity more hated, by mixing it with something inconvenient.

      People would also downvote if comments were being posted in latin or mandarin on an English language comminity: its unreadable to most of the participants and thereby negatively contributory to the discussion.
