TLDR: they're both bad, but it might be interesting to know what each one does

Channels are kind of like specialized convos. Like a community or subreddit, in a way. I see that matrix has chat, just didn't see anything about what other functionality comes with. Maybe I missed it on matrix.org

Yes matrix has that, rooms and also spaces

Thank you. I'm skimming through the site rn. Not quite clear on the steps to create an "instance" for a group

e.g., do you first get Element?

Edit: found this page: https://matrix.org/try-matrix/ that makes it a little clearer. If creating a secure forum is important for a team, do you have to create your own server?

Own server is always the most private, but you can use any instance and should be fine. Its e2ee, so you should have a way better setup as with slack or Microsoft
