There's been a lot of discussion around this, there's a page about the possibility of moving to Matrix here: https://hackpad.com/The-case-for-Matrix-xRXYSO9zpyh. While it has some nice properties (decentralised, open, can be encrypted etc) it comes at a serious usability cost. I doubt the whole community would want to move there from Slack.
Personally I'd prefer Discord, since I use these things for support and my main requirements are that a) people can find me easily, b) everything works with no hassle and c) old conversations don't disappear. Matrix fails pretty badly on a), is ok with some serious usability issues on b) and is ok for c), modulo that searching is a pain (can either search a single room or all rooms, not all Clojure-related ones). Really, my only actual problem with Slack is the disappearing messages, but that is bad enough that I definitely think we should move. I vote Discord.
