I'm surprised that spaghetti has taken off while !pasta@lemmy.world lies dormant. Would you have any interest in taking that one on as well? The current moderator is inactive.
- The people need an icon to rally around. Spaghetti stood up to the plate! I would not be opposed to taking on pasta
  
  The people need an icon to rally around.
  True, I suppose that does help.

  @kersploosh@lemmy.world, would you be able to transfer !pasta@lemmy.world to @PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca? The current moderator @tomcruise@lemmy.world has been inactive for two years.
- I have crafted a spaghetti policy that you may find highly reasonable.
  
  As long as they're straight, like an uncooked noodle - And you don't get floppy on them, like an overcooked noodle.
INB4 the first flame war about other pasta shapes!
(And just barely, too, 'cause somebody's already bucatini-posting in there.)
- This would fall under the no pasta shaming rule.
  
  What rule is that? I can't find it written anywhere.
By the way, you probably want to set English as an allowed language. Currently, you can only select "Undetermined language" when posting.
- Yes. And also "Italian gesticulation" so we can express how much we're enjoying pasta-related media.
  
  🤌
- This is good wisdom. I shall implement.
It feels like a betrayal of the highest order that perogiboy is making a spaghetti comm. WHAT ABOUT YOUR BELOVED PEROGIS??
- Ok, but what if instead of stuffing the pierogies with potatoes, they stuffed them with spaghetti?
  
  This comment will haunt me for the rest of the day.
  
  ಠ.ಠ

- Perogis are considered dumplings and are exempt from pasta taxonomy.
  
  So ravioli is a dumpling and not pasta?
Linguine is the better spaghetti. IMHO.
Joined. I cook. I was raised on bad spaghetti and I learned how to make it well (along with other pastas). Then I got bariatric surgery and I really can't eat traditional spaghetti anymore, but I still do from time to time. I think I'd make a valuable, or at the very least interesting addition to your community.
Can I say, in that community, that spaghetti (the pasta type) is not the best pasta type for spaghetti (the dish)? Because it isn't. And I think I could convince someone, not so much across the Internet, but if they sat at my table and ate my spaghetti (the dish). I would not expect them to swear off spaghetti (the pasta), but I would expect them to accept that other pasta shapes have their uses (and, more importantly, to think about which pasta shape to use and for what — my personal favorite being penne).
Keep it spaghetti.
No pasta-shaming.
Strict but fair.
That looks delicious. I'm hungry now.

Oh hell yes.
