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…
c/All browser here and not a subscriber of this community. But as a fan of Star Trek, I find this post pretty hilarious. Especially as Risa is part of at least four of the shows, at least one movie, several books, multiple games, RPG manuals, and more.
I imagine a hypothetical tatooine@starwars.website where the community posts nothing but pictures of sand with titles like “The beautiful view from my apartment” and someone dropping into that community to complain “what even is a tatooine!? all i can see is brown. why are you alienating non-starwars fans?”
Or football@sport.website “Why is everyone running after spheres? Who are all these people? Why don’t you explain what a football are in your sidebar? Why are you alienating people who don’t have feet spheres?”
Not everything on the internet is for you or required to cater to you. Rather than share negativity, simply try tapping on a different hyperlink instead and find something that is for you.
Thank you for posting an actual answer. I’m a casual Star Trek fan and haven’t seen any Risa episodes so I had no clue wtf was going on lol
It’s a resort or vacation world that’s famous / infamous for its very, uhm, welcoming and open population. Also they have a weather control matrix, making the weather always perfect.
Who trolls Risa of all places, lol. This is the only meme community I haven’t just blocked because it’s so high quality and has so much OC.
/j
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.
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…
Filter it then. No one is stopping you.
You could have scrolled past this thread and ignored it as well as you had nothing of value to add to the discussion…instead you chose to post gatekeeping bullshit.
Would Picard be proud of you now?
I’m really more of a Gowron fan. As for Gatekeeping, who stands in your way?
OP must be a Romulan. Only a Romulan could be this hostile and ignorant.
