I’ve seen an actual dumpster fire. I was the person who reported it and pulled the fire alarm in the building it was sitting next to. Let me tell you, it’s hard to look away from a good dumpster fire.

I saw it when it was smoking with just a small flame. When I pulled the alarm in the residential building next to it, I also grabbed an extinguisher, but it was too dangerous to climb back up by the time I got back out there. I thought I might be able to slow it down but it quickly raged out of control and became a beautiful spectacle of destruction.This Reddit thing is like that for me.

(the building was not damaged, thankfully, but I have different hopes for Reddit since they’re shunning the very things that built them)

His point about Reddit being late to the app game is precisely why I deleted all my comments except the one about navigating to Lemmy and deleted my account. I’m not sure if I’d have stuck around over 11 years ago if third parties didn’t make Reddit apps. For me, they made Reddit. And now Reddit wants to force me to use their inferior app by running them out of business? Farewell, and thanks to Sync/Dawson for all the years of service to the community.
