I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio “not official” or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they’re willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It’s like the whole place has imposter syndrome.

We’re the adults, guys.

We’re here. This is our community now. We broke up with that site, and we are making a new one. Run your community the way you think it should be run. Their communities are not any more official than ours. This is our place, not theirs.

We’re the adults. We’re the mods. We’re the community.

    I’ve been thinking about handing over control of my sublemmies to the reddit mods but I’ve changed my mind now that I’ve read this post. NO!

    WE THE PEOPLE OF LEMMY AND THE FEDIVERSE REFUSE TO HAND OVER OUR SUBLEMMIES TO THE CORRUPT REDDIT MODS!

    AND WE DECLARE INDEPENDENCE FROM THE REDDIT MODS! (refugees welcome)
