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 think they did a fantastic job and know what they’re doing and I don’t.

      Exactly why the community I set up here is guilty as charged. I don’t have the much needed experience on how to mod a community… I’m just here to scroll and contribute
