Same here, but it was really easy to just make a new account on a new instance. You never know when your instance will go down (like Lemmy NSFW or, more recently, piefed.social) so you might as well just make a new one and try not to get too attached to any particular iteration of your account. And besides, karma actually means nothing here!

It’s just how they were. That’s like asking “why are they all screenshots underneath plain text on a white background?” re memes now.
