    It’s still the best place for breaking Sports news so until the beat writers move off I’m gonna keep lurking.

      You’re being downvoted but this is very true. And Twitter has sometimes made it difficult to see those Tweets when you don’t have an account.

      A number of sports journalists have joined Threads though. I don’t care for Meta, but I’m still rooting for Threads as an alternative to Twitter so there would be a less scummy way to get sports updates.

        No reason Threads won’t become as scummy, if not more so. Why not root for Mastodon instead?

          I’m rooting for mastadon, but I’m also practical. User adoption is an important criteria and due to Mastadon’s decentralized nature, it will always struggle against centralized services like Threads and Twitter.

          I root for Threads because Muskrat is a piece of shit and I’d be delighted if his haphazard business venture failed. I never thought I’d say this about anyone, but Elon makes Zucky seem likable by comparison.

          Because I don’t think people like Woj are ever coming to Mastodon. I use Mastodon, but it is largely tech people.
