A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

My biggest pet peeve is people saying „gear doesn’t matter“.

Yes, you can take great photos with old gear, and you absolutely should. But good gear will make it easier, or make some thing possible that old gear can simply not do reliably. Upgrading my camera made me go from taking 5000 shots of a flying swallow hoping one is sharp to being able to compose my image knowing the autofocus will hit no matter what.

Yep. This is true for many things. Mediocre equipment gets you to a certain point and you stagnate unless you upgrade to what you know you need.
