I just want more sports content and right now, the fediverse has absolute shit-quality sports content
I have to admit, but I think it’s up to us to bring the firsts steps that will help to create inertia. At least I’m trying
Completely agree, and I'm really appreciative of people that put in an extra effort to create that inertia
I just went to your profile and you have posted no posts about sport. Anywhere. Ever. How about providing the bench standard of posts you’d like to see? Stop being so passive in your annoyance here.
I'm just sharing my opinion as to why people may want the influx of people via Meta et al.
And it's not like I haven't ever participated - the very first "Live Thread" I've ever participated in sports-wise was the Nuggets' clinching game to win the NBA championship. It was a ton of fun, and had me extremely hopeful. But it's tough to keep that kind of personal momentum.
Although that was on my Lemmy account (I joined that first, but I've kinda fallen more in love with kbin).
I dunno, I don't really have the energy or free-time to be a part of something like that from scratch - especially during the doldrums of the sports year (late-June through August). I'm almost 40 and just don't have the ability or drive to contribute all that much. Whether here or on Mastodon.
At the moment, I'm trying to put my energy into starting up niche communities/magazines for my favorite content creators in The Majority Report and Behind the Bastards.
But you're right, I should be the change I want to see. Hopefully come the NFL season, I'll have found some sort of foothold for contributing to the various communities.
I respect your thoughtful answer. Thank you for fleshing it out also. I don’t know much about sports, I’m also a bit lost here so I haven’t contributed any content yet, so I honestly am appreciative of your reply
That would probably be a good focus for a Lemmy instance if someone was looking to run a good-sized one.
I just came from Reddit after the shut down of third party apps, how would one even find sports content here? That’s mostly what I used my reddit for
Seriously! I just want a college football community or magazine!!!
