I think we might be mostly on the same page but to clarify: I believe that an instance admin choosing to federate with Threads is depriving their users of personal choice moreso than choosing not to federate with Threads as it’s forcing users to opt-out their content being used by a for-profit company (by changing instances).
By federating with them, your instance is providing them with free content to profit off of. Every post you make is another post for their users to scroll through, another chance for them to inject ads even if you personally block Threads.
It’s mediocre because most people never try to cook any of it outside of Thanksgiving and don’t experiment with the recipes because they’re trying to cook a bunch of dishes and don’t want to mess them up.
Turkey is good when it’s not overcooked and underseasoned. Mashed potatoes are good when they’re not gummy from not having the extra starch rinsed off or chunky from being undercooked. Stuffing is good when it’s not shoved into a turkey cavity or soggy from sitting in drippings and has ingredients in it besides bread.
They don’t taste different but they have different levels of saltyness for the same weight/volume because the crystals are shaped different. The shape also affects how they dissolve and spread out over your food.
Table salt is tiny crystals that dissolve quickly for mixing in to sauces or soups.
Sea salt is wide thin flakes, it’s good for when you want to coat the top of something evenly like a sea salt caramel.
Kosher salt is large crystals that dissolve slower, it’s good for drawing moisture out of meat or veggies via osmosis (the original purpose of kosher salt is to remove blood from meat to make it kosher).
