(matrix cont.) You can choose to self-host but not federate, but the major apps don't support multiple accounts, so it feels like an unfederated homeserver has quite limited use.
It's call support is currently in flux, with two methods that different apps support in different ways, plus some calls break out to external services in non-obvious ways.
It also has fundamentally weak moderation tools, at least from a community standpoint, with basically no viable equivalent to roles or scopes.

(matrix cont.) Overall Matrix feels like a brilliant evolution on IRC, in a wonderfully old-school kind of way. Unfortunately that brings with it some goofyness and hard to understand intricacies. Matrix is one of the few options that lets you self-host *and* still connect with all the other communities, and that's wonderful. I want it to succeed, and it'll probably be my choice, but it's gonna take work to operate communities in it effectively.
