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.

I would have needed to create a user account for Reddit in order to start using it. And there was never a need to.
Then there was an online community on Fecesbook that wanted to migrate to somewhere, and they chose the Forumverse. So, I joined a Lemmy instance. Then it turned out that there’s this thing called PieFed that I like a little bit more yet, so now I’m on PieFed and no longer use Lemmy.
I have heard Reddit can be a reasonably good alternative to PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin, but I figure this suits my needs better, so there’s no need to try any alternatives.
So… I kind of switched by only ever reading Reddit as unregistered and it being too impractical.
