* 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.

It looks great but I question its accuracy. The night before it cleared up in Ottawa it was predicted to be very bad here, but never was. And then the cloud supposedly moved down to Mississauga the next morning but I talked to people there and it was clear.
