On my end, both were pretty bad

Content moderation seemed to be non-existent, and the reports might as well have gone into the trash

Also no matter how much I tried to control the feed, I’d still get content that was gross (trypophobia), sexual, or chumbox like.

So while lemmy.ca is a Canadian instance (hosted in Canada, run by Canadians, etc.), it’s federated and so you can still connect to communities everywhere else. I would recommend skimming through these two pages :)

Each community is free to decide what content belongs in it, and users are free to subscribe to the ones that match what they’re looking for. If it helps, you can find some more Canada specific communities here:

• pinned post of Canadian communities: https://lemmy.ca/post/2890824
• communities that were made on lemmy.ca: https://lemmy.ca/communities

I don’t know if we have a community specifically for Canadian news, but the country / province / territory / city communities generally fill that niche.

I personally prefer to only use my subscribed feed (instead of all) so that I can curate it the way I like it

The description sounds more like an AI receptionist than an AI nurse. It would be helpful if patients could ask follow-up questions to the automated phone call before an appointment. Some clinics don’t have the manpower for that, and especially not in all the languages that the local population might speak.

I’d be interested in seeing how good the model actually is, and how it determines when to pass it along to a human

The concern is with making sure the AI model is only used where it makes sense. Those who are looking to cut costs will try and use it everywhere, and that needs to be kept in check

Maybe Snapchat

I’ve always heard of snapchat being the worst of them all, so maybe it depends on what kind of content you follow?

I with the Pixelfed creator would just focus on Pixelfed, I use that and it’s a total win, just needs some kinks worked out and more popularity.

Now that they have some funding and are building up a small team, it might let them focus on a few things at once. I agree though that it won’t replace Tiktok. At this point, doomscrolling is a psychological addiction that takes effort to move away from.
