Can the term 'link aggregator' be changed to 'decentralized forum' (lemmy.ml)

Or another term which is more descriptive. This is the first thing people see when they type in Lemmy

Why

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Because a description is supposed to describe stuff and make people understand what it is.

But it is a link aggregator just like reddit

Then why are there post types for just text or images? Because it isn't just a link aggregator. Same thing with Reddit. It hasn't been a pure link aggregator for decades.
