What abuse? That link says "Matrix does not provide the moderation tools we need to keep our community safe", but doesn't say how their safety(?) was compromised.
I also find it odd since Mozilla switched from IRC to Matrix specifically because they wanted to censor people, I mean "keep our community safe" though "moderation tools".

Mozilla had neglected their IRC network for years, so they were lacking the expertise. And they didn't try to reach out to other networks like Freenode (Libera Chat's predecessor) or OFTC to try to ask them for advice.
