Chelsea Twitter: Pros & Cons (Thread)

In recent times I've seen some high-quality accounts leave Twitter or advise they would step aside due to: the toxicity of the platform; or; the perceived reduced enjoyment of watching Chelsea because of Twitter.

👇 are my views..

The positives of Chelsea Twitter

1. Get to interact with other passionate and like-minded 🔵s fans
2. Get up-to-date information on the club, sometimes factual, sometimes speculative!
3. Ability to share and ascertain opinions with 🔵s around the 🌎

The negatives of Chelsea twitter

1. When Chelsea lose/draw, some 'fans' spread a lot of toxicity on the TL.
2. Increased potential for 'fake news' to go viral & cause a bad narrative.
3. Some accounts look to create controversy for 'noise' & just for increased followers.

What's your purpose?

For me, it comes down to: why are you on Twitter? What are you looking to get out of it?

Each person's purpose for being on here is unique. Some do it for engagement, some do it for popularity, some do it for income etc etc.

Know your purpose!

My purpose

I'm on Chelsea Twitter for the following reasons:

1. Share my views (including articles for @SW6Daily & podcasts for @BalancedBluePod).
2. Read, listen to and watch other passionate and well-considered 🔵s.
3. Get the latest info on our club.

Conclusion - pt 1

Chelsea Twitter is an interesting place!

On one 🖐, it can be a place of friendship, entertainment & insight.

On the other 🖐, it can be quite toxic, negative & very unpleasant.

Ultimately, it's a matter of whether your pros > your cons 🤷‍♂️

Conclusion - pt 2

Further to the 👆, we're all on Chelsea Twitter for at least one common purpose: @ChelseaFC

I'm looking forward to the day when:
1. We all fully support our club, in good & bad times.
2. We discuss/debate things about our club in a respectful way.

Conclusion - pt 3

In close, this thread was prompted by seeing some good friends leave Twitter due to its perceived toxicity. Seeing what I've seen, I can appreciate why and just hope I don't arrive at this one day.

Until then, take care fellow 🔵s & have a great day 👊
