That was a concern for Mozilla too. I don’t know the details, but
they have a solution for that it seems. See e.g. the Community safety
section in the [annoucement](
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/synchronous-messaging-at-mozilla-the-decision/50620
).

The solution they're using is federation turned off.

Just a heads up that there is now a lot more information about why Mozilla's federation is turned *on*, and why they picked Matrix, up at http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2020/03/06/brace-for-impact/
