I was there! The beginning of that match was wild - 3 goals in the first 10 minutes. I can't decide whether I was happy or sad that I decided against waiting in line for a drink before heading to my seat. I would have missed that opening.
The frustrating thing about the Legacy lately is that our game has improved tremendously. We actually looked pretty good for most of the minutes of the match in my opinion. However, some bad mistakes/turnovers combined with some clinical finishing by Portland meant that we were always chasing the game from a pretty big deficit.
I think that if we continue to improve playing out of the defensive third to avoid the occasional costly turnover, we could make a decent run of a season in the coming years. I am not sure if that means signings in the future or some tactical/formation tweaks, but I feel like we are almost there.
On a non-football note, it was pride night at the game and there was a wedding on the field during the half! Congrats to the happy couple! Apparently they are fans that have come to every home game this season all the way from St. George, ME. That is a ~4 hour drive, so that is some true dedication!
On the topic of NWSL benefiting from World Cup viewership, I can at least offer my anecdotal story. I have been a long-time fan of the sport and watched tons of (mostly) La Liga back when I was in grad school (early 2010's). However, since then, I haven't had much time/access to watch.
I picked up a YouTube TV sub to watch the world cup and decided to just stick with it for now. Originally, my intention was to keep up with the Revs/MLS, but found that the NWSL is actually way more available to watch compared to the MLS since I don't have an Apple TV subscription as well.
right now, being on a spring to fall footprint with MLS, we both have our playoffs at the same time and what that means is that there are holds across lots of dates with uncertainty," Berman said. "With us being on different calendars, that's no longer going to be the case. We're going to have visibility into weeks that might otherwise have been reserved but not confirmed and that will be helpful.
I was wondering if the MLS switch was going to cause the NWSL to consider a switch to align their schedule internationally, but it seems like that won't be the case. In the US situation where most teams are not the primary tenant of the venue, I guess it makes sense to play a different season than other leagues.
I am guessing the first part of the season will be mostly away games for teams like Boston due to the weather. February is usually our snowiest month, and we often don't see full melt until March or April. So, hopefully that means we can have a great run of home games to wrap up the season.
I didn't get a chance to watch this one as it happened, but the highlights were a trip. That miss at 60' hurts. Pull level at that point and the whole game changes.
rumble.com is a banned domain but is unbannable if you want. It looks like it is part of the list that is imported at instance creation. I don't know the first thing about rumble as a site, but that is why the post isn't working.
Piefed gets pre-populated with some of the most common languages on the fediverse, but others are added as content is received in them. A mature instance like piefed.social probably had a pretty complete list, but it wouldn't surprise me if others don't have all the languages yet.
Alright, you sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I learned something about PieFed today because of it. Apparently, the downvote button isn't shown for a number of reasons, but in your case the reason it isn't shown is because users with a total "reputation" (upvotes received - downvotes received) that is too low lose the ability to downvote. Your reputation is currently too low for the downvote button right now.
Reputation as a metric is intentionally something that a user is unable to see. That is reserved for admins to help identify potentially toxic users. My guess as for the intention of a feature like this is to limit the spread of negative influence that a (potentially) toxic user can cause from extensive downvoting.
As far as I can tell, the only other feature that you are locked out of with a low reputation like this is the ability to send private messages (definitely a spam/toxicity measure). Other than that, your account is fully featured.
What options are you looking for? Controlling what downvotes to accept is not done at an individual level, it is either done instance-wide (blahaj disables downvotes for example), or at a community level by the community mods. This is the list of options that is available to them for their community:
Editing a user note is currently done via the user's profile page (in the More dropdown). I just tagged you as "Photon Dev" and now whenever I see your username, that will be diplayed alongside. So, now I see this in this community:
Currently, user notes are not exposed to the api (there is a codeberg issue for this iirc) and they don't offer a way to customize the colors (I don't think there is a codeberg issue for this one). You could use custom css to style user notes since they have the css class of user_flair.

Also...that backheel goal (79') was gorgeous.

FWIW, even as a feddit.online admin, I don't see any comments on that post and it is showing two in the post teaser.

I see now. I will try to take a look into the code and see what could be the issue.
