I don’t think there is a scientific concensus on this. We are constantly finding previously unknown similarities between the minds of other animals and humans. I’ve put together a small lemmy community on animal communication and digital bioacoustics, it is somewhat related to this stuff.
Nope. You lose the account. You lose your community. Can’t wait until someone comes up with a solution to this. Not sure if it is technically possibly with lemmy to switch over to a system that allows for this or not.
