what exactly is it i'm supposed to avoid using? i genuinely don't know what it is and i don't want to mistakenly do something that's bad for people.
glitch text, aka zalgo text. there are generators to create that eldritch looking text but it's illegible to screenreaders. for instance, that sentence I used, "please stop using this shit my tts app can't fucking read it" will spell some of it out, add in punctuation marks that aren't there, blend some of it together, but at no point does it read the actual sentence
it is... uncomfortable to be listening to something and suddenly have to try to decipher why the computer is spelling at you like it's trying not to say the word WALK around the dog
