TIL that Natalie Portman has had papers published in two scientific journals. While at Harvard, she co-authored a study called “Frontal Lobe Activation during Object Permanence: Data from Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.”

When we have a critical mass of people, we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics in an organic way.

    No idea about that point specifically unfortunately. My idea was more to discuss the instance choice rather than the blocking.

      At this point, the only way to implement blocking is to switch instances, it would seem. Or at least get an app, though that is the part that I know the least about. I switched instances myself specifically for this feature - and we’ve been saying how superb Discuss.Online is even, all the more notable for a smaller instance! - but I’m not sure how many others would think similarly. Still, they could be told that it’s an option. Or perhaps !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca is almost dead at this point, with so few posts? Then again it’s not the number that matters, if the content is relevant.
