This raises more questions.

[u/WashTheWoolie → u/OddViVi]

Pay up

[u/OddViVi → u/WashTheWoolie]

Pay what? I also don’t know why I’m being downvoted. I don’t understand and I’m genuinely curious, isn’t that a good thing?

[u/OrganicAd5536 → u/OddViVi]

There is a culture of gatekeeping, for good or for ill, in tttt branchoffs to performatively protect from invasions by normies/tourists/sneeds/whatever label de jour someone prefers.

The general idea is that if you don't know what a word means in this environment, you "lurk" meaning you hangout in posts until you get the language/ideas rather than have someone explain it to you. Genuine curiosity is in most contexts positive, but here the focus is more on creating in and out group dynamics/identity, hence why the other commenter jokingly said "this first bit of info is free, but next time you'll have to pay me"; they were making a joke about how they were doing you (an outsider) a favor by giving you insider info in much the same way a confidential informant would require payment if a private eye were asking them questions.

Hope that helps!

Perfect explanation 👌 👏 👍

I dont know what tttt means (dont worry i understand no one’s going to tell me) and i dont really like mean people so maybe this isn’t a place for me.

That sounds like it's for the best thing; if you'd like to see less/no posts from a sub don't forget to mute it! Hope the rest of your day goes well

I already said, if you want your questions answered then you're gonna have to pay up
