Oh interesting. Kosher is a whole market I didn’t even think of with Beyond Meat.

Is cultured meat considered “real meat” or “kosher” for your purposes? (I hope I’m using the term correctly)

If I see a URL like this, I, and… polling my coworkers here… All 52 coworkers on my group chat would say these are highly suspicious and would not click on them. I imagine this is the general consensus for internet-savvy people.

• I’m happily reading a post on Reddit, and see a link like that: clearly dangerous.
• I’m happily reading a post on Lemmy, and see a link like that: probably dangerous, but possibly a Lemmy instance? Impossible to tell. I want to read Lemmy, not whatever “stoneclub” is.

It would be great if links to remote Lemmy instances had some kind of styling applied; a little icon, etc., that would make it clear this link is within the fediverse.
