Septimaeus@infosec.pub 5 weeks agoI think they’re referring to the implicit exclusion, since it amounts to an “inside joke” which lends to cliquish social dynamics. Gatekeeping proper usually connotes more intentional and targeted action, but I think that’s what they mean. Personally I try to be more selective than I once was, when using references in groups, for that very reason.

For those interested, there’s an episode of Star Trek the plot of which revolves around an extreme example of this style of high context communication.
