Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities.

@socsa@piefed.social was making fun of (at least, I think they’re making fun of…it could be a pretty extreme Poe’s Law case) people who vehemently hate sport. “Sportsball” is a word such people use to belittle sport. “DAE handegg” references (1) the “DAE [x]” meme, where someone makes fun of a community hivemind by saying “does anyone else like [thing the community is well-known for liking]”, and (2) the term “handegg”, used by fans of soccer to refer to other types of football, because of a misunderstanding of what “ball” means (they think it requires a spherical object) and why football is called football (they think it’s because you kick the ball exclusively with your feet). People who unironically say “handegg” also seem to have never looked at either an egg or a non-soccer football.
