It can be satisfying to see a niche thing you love – a book, a band, an artist – become popular in the mainstream. Yet it can also be upsetting. You root for their success for so long, but once everybody knows about them, it doesn't feel as special. That's gatekeeping, the grown-up cousin of "You can't sit with us."

But there is a community that doesn't gatekeep: the Gates Open, Come In subreddit. It's where people invite each other to like and enjoy stuff others might tell them is inappropriate or uncool, and generally have each other's backs. Like the kids say these days, "In the clurb, we all fam."

Bored Panda got in touch with one of the community's moderators, u/Merari01, and they kindly agreed to tell us more about the subreddit. Read our short chat with them below!

If Anybody Has A Problem With That I'm Going To Let It Go

u/Merari01 told us that the theme of the subreddit drew them to become one of the moderators for the community. "The internet can be a negative place, full of angry people and content, which in some form makes people feel excluded," they told us via a message. "This subreddit is positive, inclusive, and shows a welcoming atmosphere."

The Redditor believes that people want their feeds to have more positivity. "Having a space that is explicitly inclusionary resonates with a lot of them," the netizen added. While moderating the subreddit's comment section can sometimes be challenging when members get into petty arguments, u/Merari01 is pretty happy with the job overall. "It's a fun space to be in, so, it's not a real challenge."

    We can gatekeep many things: the recipe for our favorite pasta, where we bought our fabulous shoes, our favorite sports teams, and many other things. In 2022, Vogue actually chose "gatekeep" as the word of the year. What, according to them, used to mean institutions or people withholding power now means not sharing information or access to something.

    On TikTok, not gatekeeping means sharing where you got that sweater from and how much your tickets to see Taylor Swift cost. But Vogue writes that this is slightly ironic: if anything, the app made information and the world itself more accessible than ever. "Want to find out where a media-only fashion party or sample sale preview is taking place? You can probably hunt down the invite on TikTok."

    Licensed psychologist and lecturer on the psychology of metal and punk rock Steve Byrne explains that social psychologists have observed our tendency to divide into groups. We make friends with people who have similar interests and outlooks on life, and we align ourselves against those who are different.

    Byrne points to the Robbers Cave experiment, carried out in the 1950s. In it, social psychologist Muzafer Sherif studied 22 boys who, during the experiment, divided themselves into in and out-groups. It reflected the most basic truth that we divide ourselves according to many things: political beliefs, likes and dislikes, and even for the benefit of our own social standing.

    Reminds of when one of my friends came out to his dad. He didn't know how to tell him and finally just said "Dad, I'm gay." To which he replied "Hi Gay, I'm but you can call me dad." His dad had figured out and accepted he was gay a long time before he came out but said nothing until he was ready to tell him.

    Struggle Has No Inherent Value

    Wholesome reminder text encouraging self-care and making life easier, shared in a supportive online post.

    r_I_reddit Report

    Byrne writes that it's natural for us to see those who are different from us as a threat. Then we want to appear stronger, more sophisticated, and cooler in front of them. And that's where gatekeeping comes in. In essence, we gatekeep because we're insecure. Putting others down is one of the ways we cope with insecurities. "At least we're not as bad as them," we comfort ourselves.

    Perhaps now more than ever, division into insiders and outsiders is hurting us all around the world. Byrne suggests that some political leaders thrive on sowing division with the "us against them" mentality. In reality, there must be very little that's actually different about us.

    Interestingly, some people see gatekeeping as a good thing. In an article for The Cut, Ann Friedman suggests that some communities gatekeep to preserve their culture.

"You could be making a piece of content that is for other Black people or for your community, but then it's public or it gets algorithmically exposed. There is less control in the way social media is surfaced and served to people."

    That's how "gatebreaking" came to TikTok, the opposite of gatekeeping. The idea is that there should be no barriers to information, expertise, places, or knowledge. But Bergman observes that there's more nuance to this problem. While being against gatekeeping is, in essence, standing against inequality, it's alright for some people to sometimes stay on the fringes of certain spaces.

Nobody checks their friends and family for proper hygiene eitquette in some questionnaire or some c**p before they come either, they are literally unknown in their toilet habits and everybody is just okay. So wtf with the outrage everywhere else?

    So many people need to hear this, and it makes me sad. It doesn't matter if you've never been with someone of your same gender, it doesn't make your bisexuality any less valid! If you've been happily married to someone of the opposite gender for years and years, that doesn't erase your bisexuality. If you go your whole life without ever being with someone of the same gender, it doesn't make you any less bisexual! And if anyone tells you otherwise, they don't understand the spectrum of sexuality and they need to take a seat and shut up. Nobody gets to define your sexual identity except YOU!

    I’m a music obsessed individual, I’m a vinyl lover, I’m a huge fan of live music, I’m normally to be found immersed in something noise related, I listen to all sorts of genres, variety is the spice of my life.. My partner loves music but she’s limited by her illness to listening to small chunks of music or she’ll end up getting totally overstimulated and that’ll slay her, she’s more interested in mainstream music. We share a love of music but we approach it from different directions and in very different quantities. There’s no wrong way to love music.

    Only code I ever wrote was in 1973 on the Univac 1219. An Admiral was impressed and pleased. Can I still say that?

    A fantastic way to practise another language is to re-watch a programme you already know, but watch it in the practise language. Having subtitles on can make a big difference too.

    They all were great until this garbage last one. This one just sounds like somebody who is narcissistic and abusive who wants to not be called out anymore. And then they're going to turn around and usually abuse their own family.
