💬THE BOARDS13 board mentions — too thin to call a stance. Board mood this week: positive overall.›
Only 13 of 90 board posts mention it — below our floor to call a community stance. Shown as texture, not a verdict.
Board health this week (20 posts): 25% positive · 60% neutral · 15% negative. Team-level weekly mood — not specific to this event. The boards ≠ the fanbase: a self-selected vocal slice.
