     […] a wrench react is basically the fedi equivalent of a thumbs down or a downvote. It stemmed from someone using it in a serious manner, as in "you are a fucking tool" but over time it became watered down with jokes and now it’s used as like "delete this" in an entirely light hearted joking fashion. My disruption to the wrenches… well.]
