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.

Getting randomly shadowbanned. Seemingly IP shadowbanned.

It's worse, they use AI to detect your behavior patterns, so many datapoints to determine who you are, using a VPN is not only not going to help but triggers their detection systems, they do NOT like anonymity anymore, in direct opposition to how it started out.

In the first handful of years you put in a new username a password and you were in, people had dozens of alts, now they def connects all of them and know which ones are you. Get banned on one you get banned on all, and they will be on the lookout for you and doing heavy analysis to make sure you can't get back in.

This. Even with a VPN, user agent spoofing, using LibreWolf and its anti-fingerprinting measures, etc. I couldn't get back in.
