   @douginamug isn’t that why most historical orga worked with a type of delegation and delegates to make decisions and share responsibilities?

     Saw this slide in a fosdem talk https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/GNKEPR-burnout_in_open_source_a_structural_problem_we_can_fix_together/ and immediately thought of the "with great power comes great responsibility" spiderman thing.

     It sums up why I generally think it isn't desirable or possible to have orgs where all members have the same power/autonomy: I am a member of way too many orgs to take top-level responsibility in all of them!
