Discord has been using ML to determine the gender and age of some of its users
I'm a big fan of Matrix, and run a small homeserver for my family in friends. But if you really want to explore the frontiers peer to peer seems really intriguing because you don't need any server. https://tox.chat/ just to name one.

Open source P2P alternative to Slack and Discord built on Tor and IPFS
How does it compare to the more mature Tox[0]?

Jitsi.org has started requiring authentication
You already can, apart from some DHT and bootstrapping stuff.

I tried to like Jami, but it never worked right when I tried it. I didn't find a decent Android Tox client with video call, but it should work alright for text.
- signal, element ou wire ?

I'm designing a spy game and need an Anonymous Chat App that's easy to use.
Still, Tox still around and kicking 😎

Signal would 'walk' from UK if Online Safety Bill undermined encryption

Turkey Blocks Twitter After Public Criticism of Quake Response
Just heard about Tox today from a podcast: https://tox.chat/ (instant messenger, voice, video, screen share, file share)

Is there a privacy-friendly site to upload an image with someone that can be deleted later?
Options are limited. All modern messengers require trust in the company running the server they connect to. So the only way to eliminate needing that trust is to use a messenger that is peer 2 peer (no server). This is limiting though since no server means no offline messaging. I know of one messenger that is encrypted, anonymous (required no identifying info to sign up) and is peer 2 peer. tox.chat

Mumble: An AI app with hands-free journaling and mood detection

How does SonoBus+Tailscale compares to Signal with regards to encryption, quality and latency?
I think Sonobus is overkill. I suggest you look at a couple of relatively old-school gamer voice chat tools - Mumble or Teamspeak. Mumble is open-source and the connection is always encrypted, Teamspeak is commercial but the free tier should be fine for you - but you have to make sure to manually turn encryption on yourself. It has been a long time since I used either, so I don't know which is easier. Both of them require you to run their matching server software.

Revolt: FOSS Discord Alternative
Mumble's latency is unbeatable imo, it's basically their main focus and shows.
The sticking point for me is the lack of persistent messages, something the devs strangely think is a privacy plus. Issue open since 2016: https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/2560
If you drop out for a minute you won't have access to anything that was posted in chat, which makes it useless for anything other than voice only comms, that might suit some business purposes but I've always needed to post links or screenshots in chat during meetings.
- Would Discord voice chat's latency allow multiple people to sing simultaneously in harmony?

Is there a Walkie Talkie like app for WebRTC?
I think Mumble might fit what you're looking for. It's been a very long time since I've used it, but it seems to still exist: https://www.mumble.info/ - I've used previously for exactly what you're describing, events with lots of crew dispersed around and no budget for radios. I had it installed on an AP running OpenWRT so it was just a case of plugging that in and getting people to install the app and connect to it.
