The fundamental structure of the Matrix network depends on the concept of a <b>homeserver</b>. Users sign up on one homeserver, and can chat to any room or user on any other federated homeserver.
Use require requires registration -- "guest" accounts have historically been implemented, but due to protocol limitations they are essentially throwaway "real" accounts, and suffer from the negative consequences of this [https://vtluug.org/w/index.php?title=Matrix&action=submit#Issues_with_the_Matrix_Protocol|detailed below].
A "room" is the equivalent of an IRC channel.
