What 🔨 means

A claw hammer. It means building, fixing and hard physical work, and online it often stands for the moderator's ban hammer.

DIY posts and renovation updates use it plainly. In forums and Discord servers, 🔨 means someone just got banned. "Hammered" is slang for very drunk, so 🔨 with 🍺 tells that story.

People sometimes use it as a judge's gavel, though ⚖️ is the usual choice for law.
