However, it's worth noting that matrix is not immune to spam. As an open
federated protocol, it's a target as well. Running our own home server
might give us some additional tools - but it might not, and we might be
in the same scenario except now we're running another service and we had
the pain of moving.

Any open communication platform is subject to spam. As long as you let
anonymous users join and post stuff, it will happen as soon as the
platform reaches a certain critical mass. Slack is not immune to this:
it has spam too, and the platform being outside of your control
limits[1] your options.
Freenode/IRC is a bit bad because it does not make it easy to /deal/
with spam. The protocol being designed at a time where it was costly to
switch IPs, you can ignore people/hosts, but not messages based on key
words. As we look into alternatives, we should evaluate their
spam-filtering abilities...
