* 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.

This will be interesting. One of the claims that convoy people make is that it was all just a peaceful protest and nothing bad happened, ever, at all, nope, no harassing people, no break-ins, no noise, no urinating on monuments or flying Nazi flags.
It's allowing people--especially those in their private media bubble--to shift the narrative from what is actually is, to how the convoy people really are poor, victimized freedom fighters and the response was, like, totally overblown, and Trudeau is a dictator, etc, etc.
If this happens, expect some freakouts when that comfortable media bubble gets pierced.
