Peertube is the Fediverse equivalent. It needs more content, and more instances to host said content, but it's a good start.

This kind of gatekeeping is why Arsenal is more popular that Spurs across North America...

Atletico Ottawa (Canadian Premier League), followed by Tottenham Hotspurs.

Rumours are pretty strong that I'm about to get a local club in League2 Ontario, so they'll end up taking over the #1 spot in my support & knocking the other teams down a spot.

I realize Canadian soccer is going to be exceptionally niche here, so I'll give a quick layout for the majority of people who are completely unfamiliar.

For men's soccer:

The top of the USA "Pyramid" is Major League Soccer, which has 3 franchises in Canada.

The Canadian "Pyramid" has the Canadian Premier League as our 1st division, and no 2nd division (plans are for CanPL to split at 16-teams). Our 3rd division is a series of separate leagues under the League1 Canada label (Ligue1 Quebec, League1 Atlantic, League1 Alberta, League1 BC, League1 Ontario). Starting in 2024, League1 Ontario is splitting into 3 leagues (L1O Premier, L1O Championship, and L2O) with promotion & relegation. Below that are various youth/amateur leagues.

For women's soccer:

League1 Canada has women's teams as well. They also occupy the 3rd division position.

A pro-division (Project 8) is currently being developed for a 2025 launch.

How our national women's team has remained so competitive, is something of a mystery.

I like it. Straight and to the point, with the options you need quickly.

I'm curious; what's the purpose of the waterboarding & purse buttons?

Absolutely create them, but more importantly post to them & where possible, post about them. People often hold back from posting if a community seems vacant, so its important to add new stuff regularly to your community.

I have two small kids. I break the spaghetti like this so I don't have to cut up their plates or clean sauce off the ceiling, again...

It works and it makes it easier to portion on plates & prevent my spouse & I from overheating.

In a couple years, when my kids are bigger, hopefully I can return to cooking without snapping...
