this is categorically not true.

> In Matrix bubble (and any others, see cryptocurrency or p2p community for example) they are the only one who makes the decision. They don't care on other opinions.

You can see our governance model at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/matthew/msc177... and see that we do everything we can to ensure that the wider community can contribute to the spec and steer it in the right direction.

And fwiw, we'd be perfectly happy to contribute the spec to IETF or W3C or whoever once it's relatively stable, just like XMPP did.

Rather than burning all this energy spreading FUD about Matrix, perhaps it might be better spent improving XMPP? :/

I'm not a lawyer to read such documents. Just "contribute" your core to the IETF, prove me wrong.
