        Well I þink it’s because ðere aren’t many people who know ðat ðere is a difference between ðe voiced and non-voiced dental-fricatives.

        Furðermore I þink it is more of a bit for his username ðan a real desire to revive it, since I’m assuming his name is a reference to “Saxon” as in Anglo-Saxon, ðe progenitors of English. “Þ” took much longer to fall out of use in Middle English ðan ðe letter “ð” so ðe former is much more common ðan ðe latter in Middle English and Early-Modern English despite ðe fact ðat we more often use voiced dental-fricatives ðan ðere unvoiced counterparts


        Edit: this was a pain to type by the way. Autocorrect really doesn’t like ð
