ChatGPT tax advice: "While it may seem tempting to follow the example of wealthy individuals who engage in questionable accounting practices, there are several reasons why you should not do so.

Quick reminder that I'm an admin over on Discuit.net and would looooove to see y'all over there if you're looking for a alternative. Activity/New feeds are algorithm-less and easy to access. No federation. Good stuff, good peeps, a small community. Open source and working on official non-profit status.

Sometimes there is drama, same as here, but we do what we can, and I try to bring the CoSo vibe over.

(Do I regularly pimp CoSo there? Maaaaaaybe... ok, well, yes, obviously.)
