So far, I see Matrix is heralded as the closest thing to Discord that there is right now.

Is it something I can self-host (paying someone else to take care of it) like I do with my masto server? (haven't seen that on a quick duckduckgo search)

any other alternatives?

Im hearing rumors about Signal being having some form of facist ties, anyone got any insight on this? I had heard of that being the case for telegram, but not Signal.

🚨 NEW: One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever (28 MILLION people in France) just dropped.

Results?
• 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19
• 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality
• No increase in 4-year mortality
• Vaccinated people had lower risk of death from any cause.
In short: mRNA vaccines weren’t just safe — they were protective across the board. 🔥📉 https://shorturl.at/GcZeK

I studied Artificial Intelligence for four years, and I am not touching LLM AIs with a ten-foot pole.

It's not really about the insane electricity demands, the water usage, tho that's a good reason. It's not even, if I'm honest, about the disastrous effect on the sum of all human art and knowledge.

It's because a) I've studied enough AI to know it's a trick, a sort of linguistic illusion, and b) I've studied enough everything else to understand that I'm not immune to such illusions.
