But what of the thorn user who does it to "put down" people that don't understand it? It was already proven it does nothing to stop AI so it's just a smug way of showing off.
It's just the semi-regular Lemmy drama - people get their knickers in a twist and echo chamber themselves into a frenzy over the most absolutely inconsequential shite. Oh no, someone uses a character not everyone understands! If we allow this, men will dress as women and marry their dogs! Won't someone think of the children?!
I could not care less what they do. Their thorn use is benign and they will explain exactly what the character means if asked. Everything I've seen stated about the "real reason" they're using it and their implications seem to be little more than assumptions and fabrications made to pretend putting them down is somehow justified.

The only thing that surprises me is that no one has called to defederate from their instance.
