Matrix is commonly used for public, discoverable rooms, much like IRC or Discord. Perhaps it's not good for that use case, but the author seems to wish it was.

An effective spam prevention approach is a basic feature of any public communication service that reaches a certain size. Perhaps keyword filtering as the author suggests isn't the right approach, but some rate limits would help:

Private messages from a new contact could notify just once until approved instead of once per message.
Servers could limit the number of outstanding message requests, with a low limit for new accounts.

Or something like a "permission to send broadcast messages" the room owner needs to grant you?
