Ottawa on the Fediverse:

• The City of Ottawa on Mastodon
• ottawa.place Mastodon Server
• Ottawa Punk Concert Events Calendar

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.
