Just let me select text
Nice catch. Luckily I can use uMatrix to disable css and select and copy the post. Oddly the selection is transparent. Firefox Android.

No browser extensions necessary, just right click > inspect element > select <body>, then turn off the CSS rules you don't want.

That's not an option on mobile.

There are many ways to bypass that. User scripts and user styles too. But the point is delivered: one can disable selection, with just a couple of lines of CSS/JS, and cause a lot of pain for the reader.
