None that aren't at least in some way corporate. Maybe in another life, who knows. Or in a few years we'll have something that's actually useful and not corpo owned. With that out of the way, I've heard of but not tested these two:

  • Guilded is basically discord but not yet enshittified
  • Revolt.chat looks interesting, seems to be still in beta, is European, and iirc it's developed by a non-profit

Matrix is not a good platform. Especially as a discord replacement. All clients suck in their own unique ways, and so does server software. It doesn't have any meaningful moderation tools. It doesn't have half the user facing discord features (like streaming or functional pins). The search sucks.

You're not getting out of the corporate hellhole that easily

First off, no, not even boilerplate can be done incorrectly sometimes. Software that ingests words and outputs words can't check, say, official forms for correctness. Or test reports. You need a different type of reasoning for that.

And then, even if we assume that AI can do these tasks correctly, boilerplate isn't being just offloaded, it's being created. Sure, we've had bullshit generators before. But now our bullshit machines are faster, and spew out more believable bullshit. Google has been ruined by generated slop. That's work that wasn't performed before, doesn't improve our lives and yet is being done.

OP read that Boost may contain code used for tracking, then started spewing some conspiracy that "Boost is tracking your data for profiling and more!" without any proof or any actual research.

This has actually been on my mind for a while now. Louis Rossmann and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race. He and his ilk talk about profiling in terms so sensationalist ("data stealing", "spying") that any connection to reality goes out the window and people become conspiratorial and paranoid. All reasoning about why it happens gets flattened to "they're evil" and there's no way to actually engage with the reasons.

Weren't they defined by major cultural events? Zoomers not remembering 9/11 for example

I've been both of these to the same person (or at least that's how I read their response).

Turns out, autism is not a monolith. Who knew?

I have seen AI apologists talk about how "AI" is already sentient and we shouldn't restrict it because it's immoral.

That straight up killed my desire to interact in that space the community with that person
