* 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.

I really miss using public transit. I used public transit as my main mode of transportation up until about 6 months into the LRT construction. My 40-60 min commute became 60-80 minutes, at which point the consistent 30 minute commute by car took over.
These days I work from home, but even when I've tried to use public transit it's been so hard to.
It's going to take the city a long time to rebuilt trust in the system.
I've heard that from a few folks. It's shitty. I was all in on the LRT, but the value doesn't seem to have materialized.
Hopefully OC Transpo/RTG will get reliable trains and fix the tracks.
