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.

Yeah, we don't want to become reddit mods. They have been power tripping for too many years and live sad lives, and the stereotype was just proven true when spes threatened to strip them from their power. We can be so much better than fucking reddit mods.

Exactly, reddit mods are the epitome of the Samuel L. Jackson's character from Django.
