    It’s a political thing. Three mods with an audience of 5K people and they’re already power tripping.

    TheGiantKorean and canthidium were attempting to drive traffic to their self moderated communities for the past month or so. When that failed to work they started playing politics with the mods here to garner top down support and now apparently it’s our job to support all three communities?

    This post has me seriously considering no longer contributing to any communities. I left reddit to rid myself of this shit and now we’ve got three little weasels already pulling the same behind the scenes crap.

    No offense meant, but if we don’t have enough active contributors to make the /c/foodporn community active, what good is fragmenting a fledging community and losing the visibility gained from posting in one area with high traffic?

    Surely the strategy here should be to build a critical mass of followers in one community, then split into category specific communities based on feedback from the users on what is or is not desired. Organic growth into multiple topics vs splintering a community that’s basically my food plus or minus a half dozen posts a week. Someone wining that they get no traffic doesn’t really incentive me to post in their communities.






  • Thank you for the compliments! I think my plating is getting better because I try to take as much thinking out of my daily cooking as I can, which leaves me with time to visualize dishes when it comes time to actually cook them.

    I set my menu for the work week on the weekend so I already have a rough outline of the dish components, then gather all of the fresh produce and meat I need so I’m not playing iron chef every meal. I don’t deviate too far from the cooking techniques I know or try out more than one new thing at a time to ensure I stay in a semi-comfortable zone and can complete whatever I’m making. And since I didn’t have to think about what to make or how to prepare it, I can dedicate more time to visualizing the end product.

    I also have a ton of inspiration from people like Jules Cooking and Chef Majk from YouTube that guide me towards more modern plating techniques.
