What are the best Matrix servers for chatting? - Lemmy.world
I am aspiring to one day host a chat server of some kind to eventually replace
my Discord server. Matrix has caught my eye and I’m looking to try using it a
bit to get a feel for it, but I can’t seem to find any communities that i really
like. There’s a lot of niche stuff out there and it’s hard for me to find
servers that have rooms with content I’m interested in, like general chatting or
gaming. Does anybody have any suggestions? (I am also open to any similar
suggestions you have for other similar apps like Revolt)
How do you fight random fees added to utility accounts?

How do you fight random fees added to utility accounts? - Lemmy.world
I’ve had my ISP account for nearly 3 years. Today, I got some funny new fees on
my Internet bill. One was a “high speed network recovery fee” and the other was
an “administrative fee” with my state in the name. I’m curious what more I could
do to fight these stupid fees. Here’s what I’ve done so far: - Used their live
chat feature. I tried to argue the fees were illegal, but they insisted they
were and immediately closed the chat. Whoops - Called them. They denied my
request to remove the fees, even when I threatened to close my account (I’m
moving soon, so I’m gonna have to close my account anyway LOL). They kept trying
to distract me by questioning me about other ways to reduce my rate, like
reducing my speed. Sounded like bullshit, so I hung up. - Did some research and
found their corporate office in my city. I handwrote a letter about my
dissatisfaction and my threat to close my account in August (which just so
happens to be when I’m moving anyway). Sent it out in the mail this morning. So,
what did I do wrong? What can I do next? I know I’m going to have to close my
account anyway, but I need to be prepared for when this happens with my new
account. Spectrum will be the only provider in my area, so I will have a lot
less bargaining power. That, and, it’s Spectrum… Knowing how to deal with this
sort of thing will be very useful for the future.
