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.

How does one distinguish between a self portrait vs a selfies? Also of course beyond the obvious skill difference of like a insta story to a actual portrait photo

These two words have connotations but they can be used to define the same thing. A selfie would be for most people a photo taken with the smartphone/camera in your hand or on a stick, while a self portrait would be a photo with a dedicated camera on a tripod.

Also the "obvious skill difference" that you talk about comes from the photographer, not from the way they call their shooting style ;)
