I’ve seen other people do this habitually. What’s the reasoning to go out of your way to do this? Just curious.

dunno, really. here's my theory:
reddit allows you to "do" that, but it has no effect, other than showing that status. you can see it if you reload the page. lemmy actually lets you do that, thus i feel like i'm "spiting" reddit. more recently, it's more of a habit.

Fair enough. Small acts of rebellion etc.
