Is matrix good to use, seen a lot of drama around it. For example hackliberty.org left it because of lacking of security and moderation, do you still recommended it?

Depends on your needs. Matrix can mostly replace the functionality of Discord, which makes it stand out despite its flaws.

If you just need group chat, encryption, and 1 on 1 calls, XMPP is easily self hosted and highly scalable.

SimpleX seems to be another decent option that's decentralized.
