Matrix's moderation should be at least as good as Gitter. The GitHub integration is okay (it lets you create/comment/resolve issues using your GitHub identity from Matrix, and also can expose GitHub issues as Matrix rooms using https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-hookshot https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-hookshot). It's not quite as tightly integrated as GitHub was to Gitter though, but we're working on putting it in the Right Panel.
Some example Matrix communities which seem to work well include Mozilla (chat.mozilla.org), GNOME (https://matrix.to/#/#community:gnome.org https://matrix.to/#/#community:gnome.org) and KDE (https://webchat.kde.org/ https://webchat.kde.org/). Smaller ones include folks like Helix editor: https://matrix.to/#/#helix-community:matrix.org https://matrix.to/#/#helix-community:matrix.org. I don't think anyone's written a guide for getting up and running though, which in retrospect is a crying shame; we'll get it on the todo list.
(p.s. thanks for Hex Fiend! :D)
- faho 4y ago>Matrix's moderation should be at least as good as Gitter Well, yes and no. The moderation features might be the same, but: 1. It's a lot easier to make matrix accounts, especially if you run your own server. 2. The user interface for blocking an entire server is basically missing? The only thing I can find has you run a bot to do it? So if someone with their own homeserver wants to troll you, you end up playing wack-a-mole unless you self-host a bot. At least that's the best I can find so far.
