Good to see you on here mate

This makes me very happy!

The FPL community appear to be embracing it too, for the most part. The community is what’s really needed, as the user experience is clearly much better.

(and group chats and an alternative to spaces)

Absolutely. Don't get me wrong I'll still be posting on both platforms but if we ultimately end up here only I don't mind starting over

Yeah, I think that’s the approach most people are taking. Appreciate there’s a different element if you’re a content creator with a following built up, but I imagine the core of that community would follow across.

Quality over quantity, in terms of following and interactions, perhaps.

no bots, no blue checkmarks, no fake video game ads

forgot this is how twitter used to be 🥲

Hope they can find a good way to monetise it to keep it running. Must be an insane money sink atm 😆 supposedly they don't plan to have ads, instead a subscription service of some sort

For sure. Hopefully they’re able to hold off on that for a while so as to not scare away potential fleeing x users
