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.
Winter is far from over. We're still in for several shit events at least into April. I work on boats and people are calling me thinking they're going boating next week and then we get a foot of wet snow.
Also, if you get a break on your insurance for having snows, you'll get sweet FA if you take them off early and get in an accident.
I guess we’ll see how March fares. Though boating seems highly unlikely for now.
Good point on the insurance bit.
