There are free levels of privacy settings:
1. join via invitation;
2. public group with guests;
3. public room without guests.
So, just like IRC. IRC also has invite-only channels with or without
guests.
Most of rooms keep guests feature disabled due to spam attacks. You
will
need a Matrix account on any federated server to be able to join.
How does a server become federated? Is setting up synapse service
and specifying a domain name in its config all[1]? If yes, does that
mean anyone can set up a server and will be joined automatically to the
existing network? I tried searching the documentation, but I couldn't
find anything about how malicious homeservers are treated.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
