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 [http://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.
