Alex, the Hearth Fire

So I'm trying to get one of my SOs off Twitter, and he says he's only still there because that's where the #soccer people are.

So. Anybody here getting excited about US professional soccer? Edit: Particularly #Rapids96

Boosts welcome.

@WizardOfDocs There's some #NashvilleSC presence, too. I should post more about my experiences, for sure.

Pic from last night's #LAFC versus NSC game. Geodis is a beautiful park. Losing Zimmerman to what looked like a strain injury cost us the win, I think.

@WizardOfDocs for MLS there is a small presence, even smaller for Charlotte FC. But I have definitely noticed more activity for those hashtags lately so it’s picking up #MLS #CharlotteFC

@WizardOfDocs He might want to check out the local timeline at the sports focused instance allpro.social (especially on a game day?) to see if anything/anyone's posts catch his eye.

@WizardOfDocs

If they want the MLS Twitter accounts then these guys mirror 100s of #Sports accounts on the bird site.

The link to #MLS team accounts is below - although they probably have MLS journalist accounts too.

If it's not working you just paste the account name you want to follow into search and it's the a/c with the suffix @sportsbots.xyz

Failing that, type the bird handle into search and add @bird.makeup on the end and you might get lucky.

@WizardOfDocs The #NWSL hashtag seems pretty active (at least among people I follow). I also definitely see hashtags for specific teams go by.

@WizardOfDocs Yeah, but not MLS. Pay-to-play leagues don't hold my interest. #USL #IndyEleven

@WizardOfDocs I still _read_ twitter, but don’t interact, because it’s seemingly the only way to get updates about women’s soccer, especially European clubs, here in the states.

@WizardOfDocs Honestly if we can get soccer/football Mastodon going, I'd be so much happier too. The biggest reason I still go there is sports-related. #MastoFC

@jyrgenn @WizardOfDocs Sadly, it’s still one reason I still sometimes check on twitter, too. Otherwise I’d have deleted my account already. 🫤 I look forward to the replies, though — hopefully others have found something.

@WizardOfDocs I often livetweet #sounders matches and even sometimes #olreign and #tacomastars matches. I've got a list of 50 some odd sounders fans on Mastodon. that I #ff'ed a week or so ago. There's even a writer for the #SBNation local club soccer blog on here.

Tried to push my SG #ecs to leave Twitter but it started a huge knock-down-drag-out shitstorm and now I'm on their shitlist. 🤷‍♂️
