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.

      Musk poured $44 billion into Twitter. The global population is 8 billion people. He could have given $5 billion to each individual and still had money left over. Most people’s lives would be changed if they received a $5 billion check. But he squandered it all on Twitter.God I want to have sex with Stelle from Honkai: Star Rail so fucking badly, I jerk my meat to Stelle porn multiple times a day and I still can’t stop thinking about her constantly. Her emotionless, uncaring face looking down at me as I stroke my beat my meat to her praying that she may one day materialize if I project my energies hard enoug.As far as we know the PAW Patrol has the capabilities of international travel and possible covert operation capabilities. However, the PAW Patrol failed to assist in any way during the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979, which is unacceptable seeing as the US diplomats were hostages from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981. Could it be that the PAW Patrol is run by Islamic extremist that utilize PAW Patrol to increase positive images of the extremist, while also taking money from the UN? Or that the PAW Patrol is US run, and was told by the CIA to not intervene with the hostage crisis? If it is the former, why so? Could the Iran Hostage Crisis be a hoax, used to crack down on Iran for bringing down the monarchy that was ruling Iran, made possible by a coup from the US and UK?Paw patrol is police propaganda.Who’s the main “pup”? That’s right, you guessed it, Chase. Which “pup” experiences the most development? Chase. Who gets the most jobs? Chase again.Not on the contrary, who gets the least jobs? You guessed it, Rocky.Now, what’s so significant about Rocky getting low representation within the series? Well two things, Rocky represents recycling and conservation, two ideologies that don’t exactly like up with the opinions and supporters of the police. Well, so what, only some think like this, what else is amiss? Well, Rocky is a “mix-breed pup,” and what do cops perpetrate the most in their crimes? Racism.The fact that they put this minority, obviously liberal “pup” in the least powerful position, and the obviously purebred police dog in the highest renown only proves this.TL;DR don’t support paw patrol and it’s insidious agenda to promote police to our children.Im gonna be blunt right now.Asking someone what their pronouns are is completely dumb and isn’t going to make a any kind of difference in daily life… in fact it’s prob more insulting to a trans person then anything else. People are gendered in daily life based on presentation… nothing is ever going to change this. People are gonna calls em like they sees em🤷‍♀️E.g Someone looks like a man - he/him Someone looks like a woman - She/herIf you want to be gendered correctly… then change your presentation to match what you wantThat random person in the super market isn’t going to say “they/them” if you look like a specific gender… they’re gonna say he/she. Wearing a sticker on your shirt with your pronouns isn’t going to change that. It just doesn’t make sense… it a complete waste of energy, you can’t make people use a specific pronoun for you… it’s the reality of the world that you’ll be gendered based on presentation.

      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.
