Facts and Fame in the Sourdough Community.
Friendly reminder for the sourdough world: honesty will get you way farther than flexing with bad facts.
There’s zero shame in using rye, commercial yeast, or an established starter to give things a boost. Sometimes things stall — it happens.
What isn’t okay is presenting something as it’s not, especially under the guise of asking a question when it’s really just a flex. That doesn’t help anyone. It leads to bad advice, unnecessary frustration, and slower learning. If you’ve got a gorgeous starter or a beautiful loaf, just say so — let people celebrate with you. That’s what community is for.
I’ve been doing this for years, and I’m 100% here for learning, sharing, and growing together. None of that requires exaggeration or attention tactics. Honesty is your biggest flex. It makes you a better baker, gets you better feedback, and helps the whole community grow.
And truly…celebrate your wins. Share what’s working and ask when things are not wokring. You never know who you’re helping by being real about your sourdough journey.

Welcome to Outlaw Sourdough Society: “rules” are optional, starters wild, crusts crunchy, and every loaf a little bit rebellious.
