      I feel like some people have forgotten what KIND of social media PieFed/Lemmy/Reddit even is

      Me, too.

      I always assumed it was “whatever the hell the users want it to be”.

      Was there a sign I missed on the way in?

        This is the place where we hate on Windoze and the dirty political POVs of the “other” side (while those of our own side are ofc virtuous and clean, even if sadly misunderstood by everyone else).

        Tldr: “we use Linux btw”.

      It’s officially a link aggregator type of social media with discussions, when Reddit first started you couldn’t even display pictures, it was just links of articles. Pictures and thumbnails came later, but even then it was years before you could upload pictures directly to reddit and relied on the picture just being another link usually with imgur
