Thx

It means the post is locked by mods. You won't be able to comment on it. The comment section got out of hand, but it wasn't removed because the post itself didn't break the rules.

FYI This post will probably be removed as it is close to breaking rule 5- this community is for "open ended thought provoking questions" and is not for tech support or questions about the site. This question is better suited for !support@lemmy.world

This place (the community and Lemmy as a whole) aren't really big/busy enough for it to be necessary. This post has served its purpose though so I may lock it.
