Hello. It’s hugely annoying to look at “community information” and find just an in-joke that won’t make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I’m sure that’s fine for those already initiated, but I still don’t know what “risa” means!

Don’t worry, I also know you don’t care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out…? Well, that’s fine; it’s your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don’t even clarify where their interests lie…

EDIT: Don’t worry, I’m gone, and I’ve turned off reply notifications… I have even watched Star Trek! But don’t fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you’re safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won’t bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping…

    Just google it if you don’t understand lol. Not that hard

    If you don’t understand the references you wouldn’t find the jokes funny anyways

    Edit: the gif is just a joke people

      You’re alienating people. Again, that’s your right, but don’t you think “Community Information” should contain information about your community…?

      For the record, I have enjoyed many posts from Star Trek communities, but it’s annoying that I don’t know what this one is about and absolutely nothing is provided…

        The instance sidebar has a fairly concise description of each community hosted here.

            Who could ever know, it’s not like that’s what every single thing in this community is

        If I went to a French community and was confused cuz they were speaking French I wouldn’t start complaining that they’re alienating people lol

        I was also kinda joking with the gif if that’s what bothered you

          Hello! FYI, I am not bothered by your gif. If I went to a French community it would… be in French, would it not? Including the “Community Information” sidebar? That’s more information than I’ve found here, without seeking it out…

          I think that’s the difference. Y’all seem to start with the assumption that everyone knows what risa is, go out of your way to not explain it, then act hostile to the casual folks curious about it (like me). These other comments are very clear about that last point. So enjoy your obfuscated gatekeeping…
