I joined lemmy just over a year ago when reddit killed its API. I hoped that my favorite subreddit would come here too but it didn't so I wandered back to reddit. I was clinging to old.reddit.com and would probably have stayed around for as long as that lasted. But recently they began requiring email addresses. That was too much and here I am.

My account still works without an email address.

How are you seeing that an email is required? Is it when you try to post something? My account is banned so I just us it to lurk but I can still log in.

My account is banned. I can still log in and lurk, but not post, upvote, etc. And, as I already said: When I log in to the main site, it says "account permanently banned". When I log in to old reddit, it says "provide an email to reactivate your account".
