I've evaluated Rocket Chat, Mattermost, Zulip, and Element+Synapse at various points over the last year and a half. That included compilation and deployment on AWS instances. I've done leg-work.
Matrix's official server and client are often touted as a competitor to other team and community-oriented chat platforms by its proponents. As a signal competitor it's solid enough, but in the community space it fails to be competitive.
I'm really hoping to see Matrix mature more, and codify moderation apis in order to keep the protocol client/server agnostic for all standard use-cases.
The Matrix documentation itself admits that the community-management portion of the standard is underspecified.
