**Affirmed position.** An Examination of the Effectiveness and Limitations of Online Decentralized Participation in Social Decision-Making Processes: A Comparative Study of Two local community Issues and Two Types of Decision Frameworks should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Anonymous decentralized networks can encourage troll behavior because participants feel safe attacking others without retribution, and in a DAO that trolling destabilizes the organization and creates friction between members and the DAO. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
