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.

One of my biggest ones lately is in the film community. It's film snobs who shit on teenagers and other young photographers who are "only getting into film for the aesthetic" as if all photography, as a visual medium, isn't about the aesthetic.
The teenagers and young photographers are what saved film! Thank God for hipsters who want to use film. Less thanks for them making old, moldy, hazy cameras waaaay too expensive.
Yep. There's a huge gatekeeping issue in the film community.
On top of what you said, there's the truckloads of boomers who think they still own the hobby and should sit in every committee on how it's done
