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.

      Is this actually happening? Reddit bots posting negative impact content to torpedo Lemmy?

      I know the other day I saw John Oliver and Disney on the front page. I hope those users gets banned.

        Corporations are killing their own platforms and the nerds are building their own decentralized social media network. The internet is healing.
