It is fascinating to me that you refer to this site as an app. If you wouldn't mind, I have some questions:
Approximately what year were you born?
What app are you using to access lemmy?
What constitutes an "app" in your mind? Do computers have "apps" or only phones?
As to your question: everything is political :)
Ha, the "what year you were born?" question is pretty funny. I think it's probably accurate that many younger people identify websites as "apps," but software engineers like myself also sometimes do that. It's just a change in the vocabulary that probably doesn't propagate to older folks who aren't in the industry. Although my uncle is in the industry as well, and I think he, too, would balk at the notion of calling this an "app."
