Perhaps this is a dark thought… but I’m wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to “We did it Reddit!” or “Thanks for the gold kind stranger!” will be.
It seems like something cliche or corny always springs up, like it’s unavoidable.

People liked Reddit.
Sure, and Lemmy existed prior to the “Reddit exodus”, so people like Lemmy too.
Maybe enjoy Lemmy for what it is, before trying to bend and twist it into Reddit’s image? Why not consider it a fresh start.
The powermods just demonstrated they can only survive without their precious powertrip for 2 days TOPS, most of our mods are passionate pioneers but in the long term we might also have the powermod problem faced on pretty much every site except Wikipedia’s gigachads and RationalWiki’s democratically-elected mod team. But even then, simply defedding your instance from the ones they powertrip on should quarantine them, and it also helps that since we’re nonprofit they have no boots to lick.
I REALLY don’t want us to bully kids to the point of suicide for using Reddit.
And I dread the day that c/atheism becomes just another embarrassing circlejerk dedicated entirely to bashing believers and blaming all current problems on their overall existence.
