Reminder: Reddit is gone. Your community *is* official. If you're a mod, you're just as good as a reddit mod.

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.

Heck yeah! I just signed up to lemmy and there's alot for me to learn about this platform but it sure beats seeing a bunch of John Oliver pics and NSFW stuff on reddit lately
Omg, I am so sick of seeing John Oliver and Disney properties on the front page. It feels like a breath of fresh air being here.
