And meanwhile, we can't set aside what you call the "downsides". Specifically we can't hype up the tech from these companies while not holding them accountable for the myriad harms they are causing. It isn't a side issue. It's at the core of the tech.

It’s crazy the sheer number of supposedly rational people who were like “ok but it’s good at health stuff” early on.

“can you recommend an alternative?” no. that’s why I’m so fucking angry. we fucked it. we’re no longer capable of making online chat protocols or web browsers or discussion forum software that people actually want to use. it’s all shit. every choice is either proprietary and exploitative or awful open source garbage sucking all the air out of all alternatives and forks, operated by fucking terrible people. we let this happen.
you want there to be an alternative so you can skip being angry too.
