Is matrix good to use, seen a lot of drama around it. For example hackliberty.org left it because of lacking of security and moderation, do you still recommended it?

It’s just a public discord server but half baked. Its attempts to add “privacy” just slow it down and increase resource needs, and so it’s worse off than discord.

Their solution? Don’t turn on encryption for public rooms.

At least simplex is actively trying to solve the large encrypted groups issue.
