Sarno’s books helped me when nothing else would. Here is a link to a free program that in my opinion is a more modern and precise way:

Wise AI technologists: We need to be extraordinarily careful about propagating this stuff. Like, we might need to wait 50 years until we fully understand what it does and/or we solve the alignment problem.

Meta: Here you go guys! Go nuts!

You’re right. It’s communities, not instances. But, my point stands. I will update my OP.

Answering as an American:

Because the working class understands that “elites” are a necessary decadence and side effect of free markets, and they are fine with billionaires if it means those free markets enable them to live like a king from the 1800s, and they are not consumed with narcissistic jealousy of people that have more than them. Plus they understand history, and they see how class wars worked out in the Bolshevik revolution.

I consider myself rich AF, because I have a roof over my head, AC, and healthy food to eat, which is RELATIVELY easy to come by in America. Tradespeople like plumbers and electricians are doing very well in America, and if they are reasonably fiscally responsible and save their money well, then they can retire comfortably after 15-20 years of work.

Many people all over the world understand all of this, and they clamor to immigrate to America.

Fire is not fire. Therefore fire is not hot.

The distinction is between a thing in relation to other things and for us and a thing in itself. To the extent that water cannot wet, it is not water. To the extent that fire cannot burn, it is not fire. Yet precisely for not burning itself, fire is fire; and for not wetting itself, water is water. X is not X, therefore it is X. For precisely in its act of burning firewood, fire does not burn itself; and in not burning itself, it burns firewood. It burns in relation to something else, but in-itself (in relation to itself) it does not burn.

Discord is worse. At least Reddit lets you delete everything you post. With Discord, if you are banned from a server, then there is no way to delete your posts in that server. That is insane to me in this day and age.
