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.
Same thing happened to me. I realized it was trek memes. Didn’t understand the relevance of Risa. Googled on memory alpha and found out. Had a good laugh at the joke as it were. Understood why there was no written out explanation of the naming. It’s part of the spirit and injokeness of the place.
The reason people are antagonistic is because it’s all coming across a bit entitled.
It’s just trek memes. Chill. You’re going to be ok man.
What is it about “Star trek memes and shitposts” you’re incapable of understanding? Can you not google “star trek risa” to see where the name comes from? Why are you all up in here trying to play the victim like everyone’s out to get you, when you’re determined to live in the ignorance a 2 second google spree and reading comprehension could solve?
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.
We’re Risa, that’s impossible!
Also, thank you for the compliments!
OP must be a Romulan. Only a Romulan could be this hostile and ignorant.
I solved this for myself by googling Risa. It wasn’t difficult and I didn’t have to complain to anyone, or declare that I was leaving and never coming back or whatever.
Nice drama bait you got there, it sure would be a shame if someone were to post ghost sex in it.
Filter it then. No one is stopping you.
Classy…
/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.
Star Trek memes and shitposts
What could that possibly mean??
Who could ever know, it’s not like that’s what every single thing in this community is
Go watch TNG. All of TNG
That is not an answer.
That is just more of the same gate keeping Bullshit.
Would Picard be proud of you now?
