Editing The April 11th Incident (section)

== The Accusation ==
[[File:Ev1.png|thumb|The screenshot of Diogo and Goomba's exchange of photos, first posted by user Paunic.]]
On the afternoon of April 11, 2024,<ref group="note">It seems to have started at roughly 19:45 UTC.</ref> material regarding user [[Diogo]]'s alleged solicitation of thigh photos from discord user [[Goomba]] were spammed into the general chat of [[Irony Hub]] by another user, [[Paunic]]. The material that was posted depicted user [[Badovinci]] (Paun's alt) calling Diogo and Goomba out for exchanging photos, alleging that the exchange had been going on since Goomba was first given moderator status. According to this user, Goomba was a minor in the time that she was first modded. With the knowledge at the time, it seemed that there was irrefutable evidence that Diogo had in fact solicited semi-explicit images from a minor.

=== The Response ===
As one would expect, the population of the server went ballistic when this initial information was made public. Widespread accusation of pedophilia soon began to envelop the entirety of the general chat. Diogo soon after acknowledged the information, but to little effect as the malicious jokes continued. After #general continued to devolve into chaos, a 6-hour slowmode was implemented before a total lockdown was put in place. During this time, many began to fear that a nuke was imminent due to the lack of response from the moderation team and Diogo himself. Eventually, Diogo came forward and began to clear the air. His initial response was questionable; Diogo did not acknowledge the information regarding the explicit photos, and instead presented evidence that suggested that Paunic, the "whistleblower" in this instance, was a pedophile themselves. The images posted by Diogo during this lockdown consisted of Paunic seeming to want to have sexual affairs with both a 17 year old, and a 15 year old. After more time passed, Diogo eventually presented two photos that proved that Goomba had turned 18 five days before the thigh photos were sent.

Unsurprisingly, the lockdown did little to nothing in regard to calming down the population of the server. The jokes and accusations continued to be thrown around wildly. Around two minutes after the lockdown was lifted, Goomba herself came forward and stated that she did not recall sending the photos to Diogo before she turned 18, and even going as far as stating that she posted similar photos publicly to whoever asked for them. After these statements by Diogo and Goomba, there was little to no validity remaining to Paunic's initial claim that Diogo was a pedophile.

=== The Response to the Response to the Response ===
Even with the accusation being struck down with irrefutable evidence disproving it, the server was still not in good shape. The jokes continued, and #general was eventually locked down once more. This time, Diogo elected to give a brief overview of the history of Irony Hub. He then went on to admit that he was responsible<ref group="note">"responsible is a big word taken out of context.. we were like 4/5 doing it i was just the scapegoat.." —Diogo</ref> for encouraging an incident in which the notorious former user [[LTC]] allegedly committed self harm, resulting in his ban from the original Irony Hub. [<nowiki/>(for some fucking reason? idk this was weird as hell tbh)]

[<nowiki/>[[Diogo]], here, i explained my first ban as many people in the chat were spamming why was i banned in the original irony hub for a few weeks, implying that this wasn't my first time. I explained to the server what had happened because this happened four years ago.]

The lockdown was once again lifted. As time went on, the jokes persisted, but eventually the server returned to normal.
