WTF is a risa!? (feddit.nl)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Empricorn@feddit.nl to c/risa@startrek.website

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.

What could that possibly mean??

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

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

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...

You seem incredibly determined to play victim here, holy shit lmfao

this whole thing is honestly hilarious to me

Excuse me, I feel excluded, did nobody think to activate my mobile emitter for this thread?

Sorry Doctor, Neelix made mac n cheese again and your mobile emitter exploded; we had to time travel to go get a new one

I'm not even a member of this community, though I do like star trek, and I'm just so confused by this person!

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 1 year ago

yeah they're goofy, the rest of us are cool you should come check it out

Oh I see posts from you guys all the time, I thoroughly enjoy it :D

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 4 points 1 year ago
