Does Fedecan host a Matrix server? (lemmy.ca)

Hey folks, given the shit show with Discord, another community I'm part of on Discord is wondering whether to move to Matrix. Was wondering if there's an unadvertised Matrix server that someone at Fedecan is already hosting?

After some research and discussion, we don't have any immediate plans to set up a Matrix instance by Fedecan. Our main concern is that we don't have the capacity to moderate private chats / channels. If we were to set up the instance for public use only, it might not be useful enough to justify the resource usage and admin time to keep it going.

We are open to revisiting this again in the future. If anyone has more thoughts on why we should / shouldn't set up an instance, feel free to let us know, and we will copy them into our notes for the next time we look into this. :)

@lightrush@lemmy.ca, where did you end up moving that community to?

Matrix does seem like it would require its own dedicated mod team, but iirc there is an automod to help with the really obvious violations.
