The interesting question, which I don't see addressed in the comments, is how to avoid the Basecamp situation in the first place.

If you are building policy that allows activism, you need checks and balances against this free riding behaviour. If you don’t check the behaviour it can take over like cancer. The gossipers and narcissists hide behind activism and the activists support them as one of their own because they align with the activists goal. People who do not want to deal with these people eventually leave for places without such policy and you are stuck with all the bad actors.
