Ottawa chatrooms:

Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

Ah yes, the US billionaire owned tech company shuffle.

Surely this one won’t turn evil or abuse their position.

Edit: apparently Bluesky is not run by Dorsey anymore, but it is a VC backed US based company.

I would prefer the city to spin up a mastodon instance instead.
