even the term leaderfag is misleading, we used to call people that others joined on anchors and only thing it meant was that you were a busdriver to let them into the meetup so they can mingle with people who would like to add them so they can join meetups easier in the future, regular event hosts could be technically called anchors as well but the leaderfag meme didn't start until there was an attempt to do some silly co-op with other communities and people propped themselves up as "leaders" of said community and people unanimously agreed that that was cringe
we have anchors, we have event hosts and we have oldfags but none of those are "leaders" or rulers of a community they are just nodes that allow people to connect with other people and with enough time they become obsolete allowing the bonfire to flourish on its own
