        The same thing someone at Mastodon would have against calling what people post there “tweets.” It’s not the right word.

        What is wrong is not me here. Look, I get it. It’s called a subreddit on Reddit. But this is Lemmy and we don’t have subs. We have communities. And there’s a community for world news, but this isn’t it

          The word sub is not inherent to subreddits or Reddit. Why do people keep spouting this bullshit. Sub means under/secondary/part of. So it’s not weird, illogical, or even vague to refer to communities, especially since people can tie it back to, yes, Reddit. You’re just an old fart, dogmatist. iTs A cOmMuNiTy.
