* 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.

MODERATORS
That is @#$%ing ridiculous. We should be encouraging people to take public transit, not trying to gouge those that do as much as possible. Hopefully this mayor's days in office are numbered if they're this dumb
I'm on team free transit personally. Yes that means higher taxes, but it just makes sense.
Higher taxes means higher rents/groceries means second job means more travel means more busses means more taxes
It will always be passed down. I agree it's broken and reducing fares or free would serious help a LOT of people but I can see if spinning right back to them in other costs just as easily. Nobody absorbs costs but us
