Has anyone here ever heard of or used scuttlebutt? Apparently its a decentralized social media network, in that sense it is like the fediverse. but it uses a totally different approach (gossip network).

I'm just now hearing about it and looking it up.

@2ck the mineral page did have a lot more detail than the bbc report. my issue with it is that the greater issues are biodiversity, soil erosion, fertilizer run-off, carbon sequestration, land ownership, and exploitation of migrant workers. Crop yield is not the main issue, and in any case, it is linked to all the above. There's been so much progress on all this coming from no-till movement, permaculture, agroecology and agroforestry, that if were an Xer, I'd start there, not at Big Agri.
