Honestly, for me, the fediverse’s weakest point is sports which is a bummer because that’s where the majority of my social media engagement is. Sports weren’t even mentioned in that meme 😅.
I’m glad, community blocking is super underpowered due to the fragmentation (I was endlessly blocking sports stuff back on Kbin). I don’t want to do that again (though instance blocking may be more effective here, assuming it isn’t just for hosted media like Kbin’s instance blocking).
EDIT: Also to be clear, the big issue before was each sports team being a community
Well Lemmy is one thing, but even on mastodon there’s hardly any sports talk besides bots which just repost stuff from Twitter feeds. If I want to participate in a “game discussion thread”, I pretty much have to go to shitter or reddit.
And this is true for most sports leagues except for NFL at times and maybeeeee F1.
Don’t get me wrong I love the fediverse and all it’s people who know how to install Linux. But there just ain’t that many people who know how to install Linux AND sports stuffs.
Edit:
OH but you said KBIN 👀. Maybe there’s a chance my people still might be out here
