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

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.

Definitely. Plus, there can be more than one community for niches and that's alright, for people who don't want to use Reddit there's a community for them and for people who don't care then they can keep using the one over there. These new communities shouldn't feel like they "owe" something to the equivalent community on Reddit, the new ones are just as legit as them.

Many of us prefer mods who are NOT the same mods as the reddit mods, depending on the subject. kbin is not reddit. People on reddit have lots of choices on where to go to. I personally didn't leave reddit because I care about API policies. I left because reddit gives mods way too much power to abuse.
