Discord provides a much better user interface and moderation tools so it's a better experience and far more active than Matrix.
Discord provides a much better overall user experience with the downside of it being a centralized proprietary platform.

You can select roles for the devices and update channels you use via Channels & Roles. The roles can't be mentioned by other users and we only regularly use the Alpha and Beta roles to notify users about new releases in the #testing channel.
