This was a long time coming considering it’s a troll community which consistently posts incomprehensible garbage, people are usually quite vocal when it comes to speaking out against troll communities which either contribute nothing to Lemmy as a whole or worse, are harmful to the health of the instance. Which many believe spamming and trolling are, and I can’t say I disagree with them. I’m actually surprised Madthumbs didn’t lock the community sooner, looking at his modlog where he bans anyone who criticizes his community, or opinions, I’d expect him to have locked the community much sooner.

I think it’s very funny that you still think a community like this is satire when madthumbs consistently and repeatedly banned people for satire and humor, then banned them for criticism when they realized it isn’t satire. It’s also funny you say this is a “space people were having harmless geeky fun” when it was never that, it was really just madthumbs consistently complaining, posting misinformation, or just posting absolute nonsense. So trying to say it was a “group” or “space” is very disingenuous.
