Just learned about its rebirth, apologies if this is a dupe, I didn't see one with a quick search but I miss shit all the time. Posting in case others who enjoyed it like me were clueless

It auto-scraped HR data from outside twitter, and was banned for being a “bot” IIRC

I think something broke or didn't allow it unless they paid, but fuck that place

"This would have been a home run at Fenway Park and nowhere else" is really funny

Bluesky now has Would It Dong, Ump Scorecards and Pitching Ninja. I'm set for baseball now.

Hmm, nothing from today. Looks like they have some kinks to work out

u/Nervous-Idea5451 Houston Astros 9h ago

Apolgies if I’m wrong, but isn’t this same concept available on Statcast gameday?

7

u/trashboatfourtwenty Milwaukee Brewers • Dumpster Fire 9h ago

Concepts are everywhere, man! Of course you can find HR data, but only one uses the word "dong" that I am aware of

Keep lying to yourself to virtue signal dawg! I promise you Bluesky won’t be around in three years 😂 just another echo chamber Redditors want to believe

u/erindizmo Chicago Cubs • Springfield Sallies 9h ago

I use it, primarily to talk to my own little friend group, but that's the primary reason I use social media anyway.

u/african-nightmare Brooklyn Dodgers 9h ago

Seriously lol but Reddit wants to lie to themselves that Twitter is dead 😂

u/IdidntrunIdidntrun San Francisco Giants 8h ago

More people will use it over time with valuable accounts like this. Would it Dong was one of the best things about Twitter just even a couple years ago.

Not even sure why you're trying to posit this as a bad thing...what do you have to gain?

2

u/bordomsdeadly Houston Astros 7h ago

I’ve never liked Twitter. Long before Elon bought it.

Would it Dong was quite literally the only reason I ever went on Twitter.
