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.

I'm glad it's not more trunk or treating. That garbage has ruined Halloween in places.

To make the experience more accessible, homes will be moving trick-or-treating outside and offering non-edible treats, including stickers, crayons and pencils.

And it sounds like goodies will be offered outside, away from steps.

Yup. The family who thought up the idea did it at the end of their driveway. Neat.
