In the analogy of files and directories: Matrix space is a directory for channels. (see attachment matrix-space.png)
In the image you can see matrix space called GNU Guix (unofficiality disclosed in the description) containing channel #guix #guile #guix-offtopic #guix-wiki which are bridged to libera.chat with Guix System.. channel on Matrix

That is not my experience I suggest you to try them again and be specific about the issues so that they can be investigated.
