Headcannon: chrysalis has a sort of smear campaign going in her own hive around papi. she calls changelings who leave her hive "traitors" and tries to discourage them from leaving by saying that papi's hive is going to fail any day now... of course she focuses more effort into this smear campaign then actually dealing with any of the problems of her hive, which is one of the 32 reasons why all the other hives wanna take turns punching chrysalis.
I can see this happening quite easily, though I don’t see Chrysalis having the resources, or the charisma, to maintain a successful smear campaign. The way I see it, she holds the vast majority of her hive (or what’s left of it) in thrall, they have little to no will of their own. When one manages to break away from that thrall from their own energies and efforts then it would be no small effort to ensnare their mind once more.
