@ShaunaTheDead You never know with what we are finding today, but it is possible we wouldn’t even understand it if it was:
kurzgesagt did a nice little overview of this: https://youtu.be/rhFK5_Nx9xY?si=5cr0miFH0iUKhtFb&t=412
@Gordon_Freeman As of 2019:
Well, all went a bit quiet. Partly because the Montreal-based company leading the way, Nexia Biotechnologies, a company spun out of McGill University, swiftly went bust and sold its two GM goats — Sugar and Spice — to the Canada Agriculture Museum in Ottawa, which in 2013 removed its genetically-engineered goats from display amid public pressure.
Quiet momentum continues, however, under Dr Randy Lewis of Utah State University and his team. Though he is unaware of the whereabouts of Sugar and Spice today, his lab looks after over twenty goats capable of producing silky milk.

@EdenRester I try to set a reading schedule. Nothing prolific, just some time where I can sit down uninterrupted and read. It is usually later in the evening, after the day has calmed down a bit. Sometimes in that time box, I knock out several chapters of a book. Other times, I can barely get through a few pages.

@Arotrios Thank you. That is a great explanation.
@Arotrios Interestingly enough, I can see my kbin posts in Mastodon as https://mastodon.social/@readbeanicecream@kbin.social, but it seems that those posts do not appear in my Mastodon timeline under the hashtags that I follow. For example, if I post something that includes #nasa, I do not see that post in Mastodon under #nasa. However, I do see it as a post under https://mastodon.social/@readbeanicecream@kbin.social.
I guess I am still just learning how it all works.
@roldyclark @End0fLine Well, if you are interested in the US gov’t:

@stopthatgirl7 This seems like quite the lift and shift. Moving to a new platform would definitely split their user based. I would also thin that any form of aggressive defederation would split their user base as well. From what I can tell, there are not many (if any) fediverse platforms that have the level of moderation tools they they are looking for.
Unfortunately, It just looks like they are in a tight spot. One the could make or break that community.
@geosoco Reduce, Report, & Block.
@HipPriest @IzzyData @Whiskeyomega Another vote for kbin. There is:
Kbin has a great community and I have not run into any problem users … mods or otherwise. So, I say, welcome aboard!
I have not noticed many spammers here on kbin. But, when I do, the way I handle it is:
When relaying inconvenient news or the need to complete annoying tasks, I like the preface with it “Good news, everyone.”
@idoubtit And it is not even October, yet!!
@cragsand What about removing English, saving, and adding it back. Also, maybe clearing the cache will help.
You can do this with firefox, too. It how I run it on my mobile.
@Midnitte Waste handling has me curious as well.
