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.

    App-ocolypse where they shut down 3rd party apps (made API prices prohibitively expensive and removed access to nsfw stuff like Ukraine war reporting) and a bunch of users and moderators left. I stayed for a few months to observe how the subreddits and tone changed towards a younger, more right leaning liberal politics with way more bots and AI dross while using mastodon before checking out Lemmy.
