I've been a daily user of Matrix for the last few years, and I run my own Matrix server. I really like it - it solves a lot of the issues I have with XMPP. Notably, server-side history is treated as a first-class citizen, and it even works with end-to-end encrypted rooms! (The clients hold the keys, the server holds the encrypted messages.) End-to-end encryption is still a bit spotty (and therefore still disabled by default) but aside from a few corner cases it usually works pretty well. They're working on it. Also looks like someone has already made a libtech Matrix room, by the way: https://matrix.to/#/#liberationtech:matrix.org -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
