Indeed, like the whole "movement". Their site though, has news, a forum and Wiki: https://www.tfes.org

I suppose there's a spectrum of how firmly tongue is planted in cheek.

Maybe it started out as a parody when setup of websites and internet usage still had a difficulty barrier, and then after some time started to attract real loonies. Might indeed be fun when all you wanted was a parody and then random people come and start discussing seriously about flat earth.

Yeah, I always thought it's just a parody for fun, when people with straight face discuss some ridiculous things, like that German Bielefeld conspiracy.

Poe's Law in action I guess. Spread BS with enough confidence and people will believe it - look at how often The Onion and similar satirical news sites articles are shared by people who genuinely believe them.

I don't really think anyone believes it, I think there are only people who believes that someone believes it :)

Reminds me of the time that a Russian paper had quoted The Onion as if it was true, then later had to publish a retraction saying they got their information from "an American paper known to spread falsehoods".
