TLDR: they’re both bad, but it might be interesting to know what each one does

    Channels are kind of like specialized convos. Like a community or subreddit, in a way. I see that matrix has chat, just didn’t see anything about what other functionality comes with. Maybe I missed it on matrix.org

        Thank you. I’m skimming through the site rn. Not quite clear on the steps to create an “instance” for a group

        e.g., do you first get Element?

        Edit: found this page: https://matrix.org/try-matrix/ that makes it a little clearer. If creating a secure forum is important for a team, do you have to create your own server?

          Own server is always the most private, but you can use any instance and should be fine. Its e2ee, so you should have a way better setup as with slack or Microsoft
