MODERATORS
Matrix is probably the best but keep in mind that all messaging apps can have their metadata collected somehow and here's an fyi for matrix itself: https://hackea.org/notas/matrix.html
So, that's worrying. Is XMPP a feature competative alternative? Is there anything else feature competitive to it?
Sorry, I don't know much more than that. The group chat I mod for is transitioning to matrix from discord. We'll probably checkout xmpp once we are mostly done, but we don't want to alienate users so we use repost bots and its going slowly.
