  • Mastodon is annoyingly gatekeepy too. They are super heavy on content warnings, and tend to not play nice when someone doesn’t respect those unspoken rules.

    Also, servers are much more likely to defederate with each other, due to what some perceive as “minor scuffles”.

    All in all I understand why people prefer Bluesky over Mastodon, it’s simpler and the search function isn’t borked to hell and back either. Blocking is also incredibly effective on Bluesky, if you block someone neither you nor they will ever see each other’s content again.



  • You’re the one who pulled baking into it though? I was not required to entertain your baking argument at any point, so why are you acting as if you have the moral high ground?

    The argument was simply: Cooking and Gardening are oftentimes chores that fall on women, so it’s kind of interesting to see those as attractive hobbies for men. The last part wasn’t said, but implied, and i hoped people would realize it themselves, but alas now we’re here









  • Cooking for others is fun, I agree. I love baking for others myself. Even have my own chocolate chip cookie recipe that managed to impress the local grandma club.

    I also think there’s some confusion about American and European gardening, here mowing is just considered as much a part of taking care of a garden as is dealing with seedlings, etc. There’s an expectation too, to keep proper plants apart from grass on your property, so gardening is much more chore-like here. Bushes are a popular alternative to fences, and those need trimming after all



  • Wait, you’re American aren’t you? FYI, in other countries people who own a house have more than a lawn, because only having a lawn is considered weird af. But taking care of that lawn is still considered a part of gardening, and mowing is part of that.

    Also baking isn’t cooking, they are two different things. Baking is a lot more chemistry than cooking is


  • If you cook, you cook for a purpose, you don’t throw food away just because you’ve cooked for the sake of cooking, you eat it, or serve it to someone else to eat. In the end it’s a chore fulfilled still.

    And lawn mowing is a part of gardening, just as pruning flowers and dealing with seedlings is. Sincerely, what do you think gardening is? Vegetables and fruit trees? No, as a hobby and chore it’s so much more than that. If you own a garden you want it to be presentable in at least some capacity, that requires taking care of it by planting bushes, trimming them, dealing with pests, seeding new grass if a heatwave destroyed it, etc.
