Disclaimer: I am new to Discourse, just read about it for the first time yesterday.

I’ve noticed that every forum I’ve viewed that utilized Discourse uses the same terminology like “category” and “topic”. Is that because Discourse’s default terminology is unalterable or just because most people leave it as is? Thanks!
