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.

That’s a healthy amount of skepticism.
It’ll be a lot harder in the future when AI-generated voices really hit the mainstream and we can’t even tell if our family is actually calling on the other end!
That's where growing up in the 80s comes in handy. Thanks to stranger danger we were taught to use code words to prove if someone was telling the truth that our parents sent them to get us. Now it will be needing to use a code word to prove we're talking to who we think we are.
