    I was having a shit, but my point still stands.

    Why not just put a single sentence at the top saying “This community is a discussion of Effective Altruism.” (Or whateverthefuck it’s about, I’m still not clear)

    And then your oh-so-clever in-jokes can flow beneath.

    It’s not difficult. But god forbid you actually INFORM people without being assholes about it.

    Oh wait! Sorry.

    SNEER club. You only want to SNEER at people not IN THE CLUB.

    My bad.

    Happy to block community. Byeeeee!
