yea I was just joking lol, there was recently a discussion about how join-lemmy was still saying “link aggregator” and everyone thought it was a terrible description
But I guess that’s still technically correct, the best kind of correct. Still sounds odd, but I guess it kinda works as long as you use the term because of historical reasons.
Regardless, now that Lemmy/Piefed has become such diverse platforms, it’s getting harder to nail it down into a single convenient term.
I think the defining feature of these platforms is the topic focused approach. On Mastodon, you care about the people who write whatever, while on Lemmy/Piefed, you care about a topic written by whoever.
