My reason is that Reddit has opened a representative office in Turkey. This means the government can hand over IP addresses whenever it wants. In short, I came to Lemmy because freedom is gone. Fuck Reddit.

They banned me over some insanely trivial nonsense. I used a throwaway to get back in and then they perma-banned me. Actually insane much effort they put into enforcing these arbitrary bans.
I only use Reddit in a private browsing window. When they ban me I use a different browser to create a new email account. Then I reset my private browsing browser’s settings to default to clear everything. Then I open another private browsing window and create a new Reddit account and I even have a browser script that automatically re-adds all my subs, which are the only thing I actually care about on Reddit, and I’m back in and using Reddit in less than 5 minutes. Account stays unbanned until I say one of the many, many things Reddit’s auto-banning bots will ban you for. Can be a few weeks or a few months.
If it was harder, I wouldn’t bother. But it’s pretty easy and I can be right back in as a big fuck you to Reddit. Also a fuck you to any mods that banned me from their subs cuz I’m back posting in them again.
