Wow, yeah the parent comment is shocking to me. For me matrix is OSS discussions, like a modern IRC (not that IRC is gone, a lot of matrix rooms bridge to IRC).
Though I suppose if you search for other stuff you can find it.
Though it strikes me as a little odd, I never really associated matrix with anonymity, more with federation, end to end encryption, self hosting.
Perhaps hosting matrix servers as tor hidden services could serve that purpose.
It's a bit strange to even criticize these services for the existence of abusive users. The underlying problem is that abusive people exist in real life: it goes without saying that they'll show up in any context that's accessible to the general public.
Complaining that bad people are using Matrix is about as meaningful as complaining that bad people are driving on the highways or are filling their bathtubs with from the local water supply.
