You think we're any better?? I think the whole internet is a dumpster fire, and that's the way it should be.

Yes: Dumpster fire or not, Lemmy is definitely better than reddit. No question.

It's more of a recycling bin fire

Compost fire (yes they can ignite).

I used to work in the waste sector - been to a lot of dumps. Let me tell ya, public sector dumps were literal dumpster fires compared to their private counter parts. Inefficient. Years behind in technology. Weighted down by nepotism and typical government employees.

It was such a relief when I knew I was assigned to a private sector dump where things just fucking worked because people just let it work.

It isn't about being better trash, it's about who controls the dump. I want to be able to view all trash in the way I choose. Not certain piles of trash that I'm forced view in a way that I can't choose on my own.
