If it's what it sounds like, I understand it and would want it shut down too.

FediOnFire was a simple, public-facing project designed to showcase a firehose of public statuses across the network.

For... showing public comments on a live feed? How nefarious. /s

It was literally an alternative UI for the https://mastodon.social/public feed
