Reddit communities are (all of a sudden and by odd coincidence) trying to will that into happening by delisting anything from X.
It’s just people seeing an idea and jumping on the bandwagon. Plus, if you look at lots of the threads, there are already a pent-up dissatisfaction with the user experience of links to X, so the door was partly open.
We’re working on improving the category system and appreciate your input.
The NFL has lots of weird rules, apparently one of them is teams can only create accounts at "approved" social media sites. Probably only a matter of time before it's "approved".
I will update the category system
and Search function asap
It's a slightly broader Mastodon crowd. They tend to be liberal, quite often techies, some celebrity obsessed people (swifties, etc) and some hustlers who thought it's their big opportunity to establish themselves on a new and growing platform. I assume this crowd likes real sports less (or at the very least, watching and reading about professional sports), yet they are still okay watching eSports. Some sports are also more popular outside of US/EU, and they care less about the whole resistance and culture war, therefore less likely to end up on Bsky.
But I'm just speculating and building imaginary stereotypes based on the people I saw going there, being there.
And with all that said, I see plenty of sports accounts there, even in the feed linked here, NBA, NFL, so I may be full of sh it.
I tried to search for MMA on bsky, but the search is cooked, and I don't see a single result.
