    Nonsense. Lets not co-opt “gatekeeping” to cover any sort of attitude we find distasteful, shall we?

    Looking at a bunch of definitions of gatekeeping the closest I can find is this:

    gatekeeping refers to the actions of individuals or groups who try to define what is and isn’t acceptable within a particular community and determine who is and isn’t allowed to participate.

    My assertion:

    I kinda wonder how much time other commenter here have spent at their libraries.

    You really can’t co-opt that into the definition of gatekeeping.

      You’re the one who’s disqualifying people from saying what libraries look like because they don’t share your common experience. Have a little self-awareness.
