Lol, it's federated, you don't post "on Pixelfed" you post on whatever host you're on and maybe that host is federated to lively other hosts

This doesn't feel like a helpful response.

I understand that pixelfed is federated, but I still knew exactly what the commenter meant when they said they posted "on pixelfed". They meant they posted on an instance running the pixelfed software.

It seems like it was effective communication to me, and your correction seems both dismissive and unhelpful.

Yea. And you’re not “on the internet”. It’s a series of nodes that talk with each other and route requests between them. /s

There is no strict technical definition of “on” in this case.
