Reddit is like going to Chucky Cheese for your birthday. It’s fun, but it feels a little forced and ultimately the point is for Chucky Cheese to sell you terrible pizza.

Lemmy is like being left alone during summer vacation with nothing to do and one of your friends hands out walkie-talkies and you all hang around the neighborhood and make a game of stalking the mail carrier and there’s absolutely no point but afterwards you get real pizza at Salvatore’s.
