This isn't an academic journal or general purpose news article though. It's a small blog about a subculture. It'd be like spelling out GPU on a blog for building custom PCs, or BDSM on a kink blog.

Spelling it out when 99.9% of your audience doesn't need it actually is the opposite of in-group signaling, it makes it feel like it's aimed at a wider audience, when it's not.
