The Deaf community is very insulure as well
On the flip side, the ukulele community is so open and friendly, helped me stick with a hobby I sucked at to begin with, and now I've released actual music!
"If someone tries to steal your ukelele, let them take it!"
Star Wars. God help you if you actually like The Acolyte or the sequels, they'll flay you alive while they harass everyone involved in the making of.
Railway and train modellers, of all scales. To their credit, a fair fee people are becoming more open, but especially modelling clubs are often run by old white men with questionable politics and problematic behaviours. They will sneer at anything that's not steam, or at people who run modern instead of vintage trains, or who don't get a train model exactly right the way the original ran that one time in the mid 50s from Bumfuck, Idaho to the middle of nowhere. They have little patience for newbies who might not have internalised all the lingo, or who might need something explained in simple English. If you build something that is not an exact replica of a real world location, they'll say you're not doing model railway, but merely toy trains. And then these same people go and wonder why they can't attract new people to the hobby.
Replace "trains" with "amateur radio" and the entire paragraph fits perfectly.
Sad, imagine if ham ran the radio decentralized parallel internet. Progress occurs one silent key at a time
All of this applies to many niche communities. In Germany, especially the older forums that are around since the internet became widly popular show such behavior. Take HiFi- forums for example: If your plugs are not made with gold, you are doing it wrong. Also, if you want to spend money for a hobby, don't bother to start if you are not willing to spend at least an unreasonable ridiculous ammount of Euros.
These enthusiast also complain about a lack of new members. It's the nobody wants to work anymore sentiment, but with niche hobby communities.
Vegan groups. You will toe the party line comrade! And yes, shellfish are intelligent animals with a rich social and emotional life.
"But they don't have the nerve types and brain structures to feel pain as we do..."
"HERETIC!"
Who hasn't?
If they have no ego, why are they shellfish?

Farmers. I'm local and from an established farming family, but because I didn't end up in a branch that's still active I might as well be dog shit, and not just on farming-related matters.
Well, maybe dog shit is a slight exaggeration, but damn they will give you the cold shoulder.

Could you elaborate, please? I know Jack about farming and this sounds fascinating
So, my ancestors, at least as far back as great-great grandparents, came here and took some land from the Natives (hey, just admitting it is part of reconciliation). Over time, they had an ever-increasing number of descendants, but the amount of land stayed the same. Some inherited, some presumably didn't, and many wanted to do things other than farming with their life and sold their land. My grandparents never farmed, except just to help friends and family, and the last of their land was sold a few years back. (Conversely, I have a great uncle who owns fuck-you amounts of land)
Thanks!
