Ottawa chatrooms:

XMPP: empty
Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#ottawa:matrix.org
Telegram: https://t.me/chatottawa
Discord: https://discord.gg/TrCHrucmqJ

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.

As much as we all don't love Bluesky I'm just happy to see the city turning away from X. If they start preparing for this transition to another platform, it will be easier for them to theoretically do it again in the future if need be. Half of the challenge is just getting these things off of the ground.
