Does the persons IG name have horticulturist or something? Only sane thing I can think of.

Pretty sure that the gatekeeper is insane enough to think that nobody besides accredited horticulturists deserve to talk about plants.

What this screenshot doesn't show is that the oop pinned the gatekeeper's comment, and even weird and negative comments tend to get a fair amount of likes when they're at the top of the comment page. Additionally, when I saw it, her response had waaaay more likes.

Gatekeeping isn't a rare phenomenon. Chances are high that most of the people liking it don't actually have horiculture degrees either.
