      What do you mean by a general replacements community? Cellular agriculture in general, rather than just meat?

      Might be a good idea. Do you think your instance would be a good place for the community?

        Yeah, actually I’ll just make one, assuming I don’t find an old one.

        Other cellular types for sure. I’m super pumped about the bacterial protein that grows on just synthetic hydrogen. What do you think about plant based substitutes? It’s a different technology, and I don’t know how much there is to say even at this point, but they fill the same product niche.

          Let me know if you do; I’ll definitely sub. Not sure if I’ll have time to post content, but I’d probably be able to monitor for spam if you need help modding.

          Eh, it varies. The Beyond burgers are pretty good, but I had some plant-based “meatballs” which were… not great. Haven’t seen any plant-based steaks yet. I’m hoping that animal cell-based methods can be indistinguishable from slaughtered meat, with lower environmental and ethical costs.

            I meant as an included topic for the new community, lol. But yeah, some are pretty gross. They used to all be gross before people like Beyond arrived.
