       Really curious about the volume of the #SuperBowl #toots this weekend on #Mastodon.Normally, I would have no interest in an #AFL / #NFL #football ball game but the more activity on Mastodon the more the naysaying tech journalists will have mud in the face.Either way, I hope the  Philidelphia Chefs and the Kansas City Eagles :awesome: fans have a great weekend and tell us all about it on Mastodon.#superbowl #eagles #chiefs #halftimeshow #KCChiefs #SuperbowlLVII

       @paul @saltire as part of the sports minority here, the world cup was even more underwhelming than I expected. The #superbowl won’t draw as much interaxtion as wither if us would like. Mastodon, and the fediverse need open aearches, not just hashtag or username.

       @Bearded_Pip @paul i wasn't surprised the World Cup was quieter here, the Qatar connection certainly doesn't align with the majority I see here.NFL has picked up if you follow the hashtag, and @sportsbots does a fantastic service mirroring prominent birdsite accounts that aren't here (yet?)

       @saltire @paul @sportsbots the bots are awful. I block them as I find them. Blocked an entire instance of bots. Qatar had little to do with the lack of WC convos. The sports fans aren’t here yet. And won’t be until mastodon is the new “go to” for news and highlights.

       @Bearded_Pip @saltire @paul Are there any changes we could make to be less “awful”?

       @sportsbots nope! That sportsbot.xtx instance is the one I referenced as having blocked. I want conversation not inpersonating twitter accounts or blind dumps of last night’s scores. Be creative or stop tooting.

       @Bearded_Pip Our goals are actually the same here, we’re just looking at it from different sides and thats ok!From our perspective, there’s a chicken & egg problem on Mastodon for Sports, so by mirroring content we’re trying to ease the first part of it.If we can get more Sports fans here, organic conversations will spark and it should help prove the viability as a platform for sports.In an ideal world, our bots go into retirement and they’re replaced with real people.

       @sportsbots it gave me all I needed to not visit twitter and get dragged into whatever drama is blowing up in the infernal rage machine.And let's be honest, we wouldn't get any more reaction replying to the celeb tweets than replying here.
