@fgregg In other cases, orgs are designed around higher-touch self-governance, perhaps because the governance is designed to be fun or because most members are very interested in its decisions.
For me, my Mastodon instance Social.coop is one of the latter. I engage heavily in governance there because of both the fun and the sensitivity I have to its decision-making.
And of course there should be a wide spectrum in between. Presumably most orgs should be relatively low-touch for most members.
