It’s pretty funny to me that this community is not only so much more positive but also so much more active than the Lemmy football community. That one only ever seems to post pro Man United/Spurs articles or anti-Arsenal crap.
You’re all a great bunch of lads (and presumably some lasses too). And thanks for all you do around here Astrealix. This is a fantastic community.
The positivity is one of the best parts of our community. The Match Thread on Reddit and some of the drama that went on was a hot pile of garbage a lot of the time.
It’s very easy to get caught up in the moment and to react negatively when things aren’t going well. But I feel like we all realise how difficult it is to compete at such a high level consistently (we were spoilt a little with Wenger). There are so many variables and I would love nothing more than to see us raise a PL or even CL trophy, but at the same time it’s difficult and I try to temper my expectations accordingly.
I also noticed the same thing about the Football community. It’ll be posts about a recent United win, but Arsenal could upset Liverpool, or something long those lines, and nothing xD
I mean it will take an Arsenal fan interested in the football community to post about Arsenal, no? Can’t blame someone for only posting about the team they follow really.
That’s a fair point, which I guess just shows how largely inactive the community is.
And especially given we have this, why care about c/football imo lol
Feels like a keepint general football community active is a much more daunting task than a team-focused one.
Wait, /c/football isn’t just a United community? Could have fooled me
nah there was that one liverpool post hoping we both lose a few days ago
One thing I do miss about good old r/soccer is that I know less about world football these days, but honestly escaping the toxicity is nice.
Yeah, I hear ya. I also miss all the gifs showing goals, saves, and general craziness that can happen in a match. r/Gunners was good for that too. But overall I’m happy to forfeit that for the nicer community.
