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.

This is the dawn of a new era. The dark times preceding it will fade into legend and myth. Future generations will look back and see these communities as where it all began. Always remember that you mods, new and old alike, didn’t bring down the sword on the old age. You picked it up when the call to action rang out.
