I still use reddit for some niche topics that have like zero activity on Lemmy. But still, I feel kinda bad over it… What about you people?

Sports is surprising to me that it hasn’t gotten bigger here. I get that the tech crowd isn’t classically overlapping the sports crowd, but I feel like tech has gotten so mainstream anymore that it’s more sports people into tech than tech people into sports. A lot of the subs and instances are really lacking too, not to comment on the people posting there and doing what they can. It’s a tough landscape right now
Some of us tech people that liked sports, realized during Covid when they went away, that we only actually watched/attended sports to have something in common with others. I realized I didn’t need them, and didn’t miss giving any additional money to billionaires. Also, don’t get me started on tax money and stadiums lol
Oh for sure. There is a definite downside to the leagues that’s becoming increasingly hard to ignore. I live in a large college town, so even outside of the team, it ends up being a community event and it’s nice to have all your friends get together, even if for a superficial reason. Probably 80% of my Reddit use was sports subs and discussions not really for the sport, but because I liked the community aspect of it. I’d like to see that again here, so I’ll keep posting away lol
