Probably less on Facebook since it's an older platform. Few people under 30 regularly use it which is why people on Reddit say it's all "right-wing/far-right boomers with profile pics of either their car or half their face".
Its definitely gradually getting worse since musk took over but still very useful for quick football info and gauging fan reaction (i like to see if im getting a different view of an aussie player since im obviously going to be biased towards aussies)
I posted the political skew of social media platforms in another thread, i think facebook was slightly left but i could be wrong. I guess to reddit everything including their breakfast cereal is far right
Yeah i was saying we would need to quadruple to get to it being worth a thread for each match
Reddit is listed on the NYSE.
to be fair, they do have a daily 'Around the Grounds' matchday thread during the NPL season. Tried to garner up some Yoogali support there during the year lol
Would love to grow the women's space in particular, hence why I messaged a couple users on Reddit. I was unfortunately not successful.
The lack of NPL content might be due to the fact that a lot of the users just blanketly dislike NPL clubs because of a subset of racist fans (in particular a section of the Sydney United active supporters' group). Some people thought the Championship was just "glorified NPL".
On this - I am not very active on the reddit itself - moreso the discord they have set up for it.
Yeah, for NPL content on that subreddit, needs to be something really specific.
If the topic was "racism in the NPL" it would get posted (a lot of condemnation for the SU58 Ustaše stuff and rightfully so, but probably not much condemnation of progressive antisemitism). Other than that only good goals and "oh, this team won the premiership/grand final" are the only content.
I mean when it continues to happen it's not really a "dead horse" but I do think they take it too far. I wouldn't be surprised if similar opinions are held about Lazio or Millwall.They still flogging that dead horse?!
How anyone can spend time on that dump is beyond me.
Yeah, only other time I've tried to get them to engage with stuff is Yoogali. Which.. goes reasonably well I think. Shows that Capital Football are/should be persona non grata across the board.
Look at their Facebook lol.
Football in the ACT and Southern NSW is a mess. In additional to the Yoogali situation, Canberra's been supposed to get an ALM team for years and now Canberra United in the ALW might fold since this is the last season Capital Football will run the club so they need an owner or they'll fold. Ironically they might win the whole thing this year.
And then Andrew Barr will be forced to put more money into Capital Football via Canberra United's ALW team, and attempt to be lauded as a saviour of football in Canberra, despite it only probably being about 5% of the annual funding he gives the AFL to have a Sydney team play 2-3 games here a season and put "CANBERRA" on the back of their collar.
