I wholeheartedly agree. I don't visit any other Arsenal communities for that reason. I think we have a good mix here. People get frustrated and vent, but I feel we're all reasonable here and more positive than not.

This is probably the best community of Arsenal fans I've ever been part of.

It is so much better than Twitter, I can tell you that much. And better than what Reddit was when I left. Even bluesky can get a bit... waffle-y a bit sometimes.

I remember talking to someone in a bar recently and when I said I wasn't on twitter, they said "oh you have to, it's where all the best football banter happens."

Needless to say I walked away very quickly

Some of it is good. Some of it is horrible. And then there's the non-football content, which is somehow more braindead.

You really have to weed, filter, and block your way to getting the good discussion, I've found in my limited time on there. I was never very active on Twitter, to be fair.
