We put our FOSS community on Mattermost - it's awesome!

It lacks administration features - kicking, banning, etc.

Near immediate down-vote? Right, forgot that admin of IRC was no cost at all.

Mattermost costs $60/yr in hosting and only a few hours a month in admin work - same as our email group and our old Slack (or whichever solution)
