People are dying. We're all facing literal life-or-death issues in this right now. Maybe we can afford to set aside clever snark and irony for a bit, for the sake of essential clarity and necessary communication
Special characters don't translate for all readers; if they're not necessary, omit them -- especially if it's just trying to be cute. 'Fastistoid' isn't even a word. Many readers are ESL.

@wesdym I'm not sure we're looking at the same content - there's no cutesy snark or special characters in this one, nor do I see the word "Fasistoid" (which is, in fact, a word, it's just misspelled)...?
