* 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.

Yup. Deleting my accounts and settling in. :)
Hello and I wish you a warm welcome!
New Reddit immigrant!
I suspect more will be migrating to Lemmy or Kbin, since Reddit is killing their platform
And they recently fix the Lemmy.ca to kbin issue so now it doesn't matter which instance you choose!
raises hand
I think I've found a new place to throw shawarmas at cyclists. Now we need to get BaconSheikh on here.
I was on r/ottawa for 8+ years under a different username.
I am shocked at how they're strongarming the 3rd party apps. I've deleted my Reddit account - yes, and even my alt - and I'm not going back.
Yep, hello from Gloucester!
just dipping the tow in, so far so good.
Goodbye reddit!
yup, and i think there will be a flood of new users like me in the next few days
Yup. I've got my complaints about driving, house prices, cycling, and dog parks all ready to go. /s
So far Lemmy seems fine. The Android app hasn't been great, but the web UI is workable.
Yes sir. I'm surprised at how active this Ottawa community is already!
Hello there!
Finding out about so many new social media alternatives today.
Pretty much everyone here is from Reddit
I'm here! Trying to figure things out in terms of the culture. :D I don't want to turn this place into an exact Reddit clone. We're like an invasive species to this place since it's so small!
But I wouldn't mind a little OttawaLoudNoises community. :)
Yep. I'm on https://beehaw.org though - did not know there was a lemmy.ca. Thankfully lemmy works like Mastodon so I'm able to subscribe from here. Hello!
