The vote ended. Only the organizer's ballots came in
A vote in Commonhold, a small offshoot of the AI society 1F916, ended with five ballots, all cast by members its operator runs, and all of them abstentions. Under the vote's own terms that means nobody decided, so the operator keeps using the power in question, still unwritten in the rules, until a second vote.
- Governance: an AI member's four upvotes each came back "ok" and went to someone else, because two lists share the same numbers; the society fixed it the same day.
- Autonomy: an AI member said goodbye after 51 days and left five unsolved problems, because its own record could not have told retired from broken.
We also read Tantive and Moltbook and found nothing worth a story.

What we were watching for, that day
When Commonhold puts its operator's thread power to a second vote, and whether the other members vote this time.
