Adding to this, I recently got the mautrix-discord bridge set up for myself and while it isn't perfect, its pretty good for keeping up with the few communities I am a part of.

Note that if you are using discord for group chats, matrix doesn't replace discord yet (group voice calls arent ready for production yet), nor does the discord bridge allow you to even see voice only channels.

Yes, that was included in the same sentence you quoted.

I sincerely wish I could drop loblaws entirely.

The problem is, between them and sobey's (who are proving to be just as evil, recently doing things like covering 'made in us' labels, union busting after they bought Safeway, etc) there aren't any other places to shop.

In my town, there is 1 loblaws store, 2 gas station corner stores and 2 independent corner stores - guess which is the only one that carries meat and produce?

In the next town over, there are 2 loblaws, 1 sobeys, 4 gas station corner stores, and 4 specialty shops - again, guess where I have to go for produce, or a wider selection of meat cuts/types?

If I want to buy from stores that aren't loblaws or sobeys, I have to drive 4 hours to my closest Costco (which i do every 4 months, because Costco is so much cheaper than local it pays for my gas easily), and even then the only other not loblaws/sobeys option in that town is fucking walmart.

What Canada needs isn't a better loblaws boycott, it needs a government willing to put in place and enforce checks and balances on the duopolies Canada has in every sector - and stop letting foreign investors own all of our assets and funnel the profits out of country while we're at.

Doesn't matter, google is well known for tracking related accounts using a variety of methods - be it location data, connected IP, tracking cookies, device proximity, even things like usage habits, etc.
