Hmm. I think you’re right to an extent. I think the gatekeeping you’re talking about should come from the server level and block anything from meta or from other servers with those kinds of people.

Using the word “normie” can be off putting to people we do want on this platform which is kind of my point.

Yes, that is exactly how I feel! It honestly makes me kind of sad because I truly love how awesome of a space a lot of these communities are and I think people don’t realize the effect that words and attitudes like that have on the greater experience and vibe.

Love everything about this haha

Right that’s the vibe I get too!

Ain’t that the truth.

I have definitely seen it used outside of that. Again, I think the effects are largely unintentional but from an outsider looking in could be very off putting.

I guess that’s something I didn’t consider. I kind of feel like that is still creating an us vs them mentality though…

Sweet! Appreciate that.

Seriously! I just want a college football community or magazine!!!

No I haven’t! I’m going to check that out… just as soon as I “beat” tears of the kingdom lol
