@avidamoeba not sure if that's DUCA but definitely that was PACE. Severe mismanagement & potential fraud from leadership caused many years of issues at the CU. FSRAO ended up ordering its closure and sold it to Alterna Savings.
I second Meridian, really like their customer service. However, I'm really not a fan of their updated account fee structure (as of Sept 1), they're not that competitive with the new fee structure as it kinda copies the Big Banks but w/ less features incl.
Depending on what your needs are, Alterna Savings & DUCA may offer you a better deal. Though I can't vouch of their customer service as I haven't used Alterna much & haven't used DUCA before.
Still remember in my teens playing #Starcraft when the power suddenly cut as I was about to save my game lol.
Still had fun doing other things, including a night walk in the neighbourhood without power & seeing the stars so clearly because there's no light pollution.
On a cost level, yes it would make sense to leverage mstdn.ca but issue is that CBC wouldn't have the complete control & the instant brand recognition via hosting their own instance on their domain name.
It's also much better for the brand to have an account on social.cbc.ca. Something like [email protected] looks better on a branding perspective than [email protected]. It's no different than how organizations use their own domain for emails.
Yes, this can actually be done. There's a tool called #MastoFeed that allows you to post RSS content to the fediverse. Some publications like #DarkReading are exploring using MastoFeed to publish their articles.
Their account can be found here: https://infosec.town/@darkreading
That being said, not sure if a bot account is what people are hoping for if #CBC decides to join the fediverse...
@SlikPikker Would using an RSS reader help with navigation? Allows you to follow CBC News without having to dig through their website.
You can find the RSS list here: https://www.cbc.ca/rss/
@Inky online banks have their place, so too do credit unions. It also depends on what credit union you're comparing with. Some CUs provide free accounts like the online banks but still have the option to get either free or PAYG branch access for the times where branches can resolve things faster.
If all you want is a no frills banking experience, online banks are great but CUs still fill a role that can't be found with the Big Banks either. Really depends on what your needs are really.
