    Picture Lemmy, where anyone can create and subscribe to communities about whatever, only without the multimedia or link posts. Everything, at least in the beginning, was strictly text-based posts and threaded replies.

    (Ways to attach binary files such as images were hacked in by converting the binary data to text. That’s still how email attaches files today, though it’s all behind the scenes and not obvious to average users anymore.)
