I gave up on matrix, was too complicated of a setup and the site was throughly unhelpful for newcomers. I eventually got it but, the permission system was somehow worse then IRC and due to the federation aspect of it you can't modify the standard at all because then the other clients/servers can't recieve you.
Are you using any other alternative now besides IRC?
