It blows my mind that people actively use facebook community pages to keep upto date with local issues and communicate things of note (eg break-ins (mandibles)).
the notifications side of this is key š
We need to give the people a simple and clean nostr alternative. Maybe send a weekly
email update to ping people to help them create new habits
I think Facebook / community pages serve a purpose - community š¤š½
they clearly do. I just think we can provide a better one that the community owns, and not some multi national company
Back when I used Mastodon, I saw that some communities (like teachers) used bots that would repost anything with a certain hashtag.
This would require some monitoring to block/mute outsiders from abusing a hashtag, or perhaps in our case (on Nostr) whitelisting community members on a given relay.
But it's not impossible to implement, right?

This is one of the few things I do occasionally still find useful on Facebook..
I don't think there's much wrong with using normie online channels to get people to discover and join freedom communities, resources & tools. I use Craigslist and Nextdoor to advertise our local Agora markets and anarchist potlucks / meetings.
I run one. It's such a pain with the constant scammers. I think nostr's WoT stuff could solve 99% of the problems. Solving the pain of the moderators might be a good play.
interesting. How do you ārun oneā?
Meaning youāre an admin?
Yeah, wrong wording I suppose. I created the community page & have one other admin. It's a small community.
The tools FB provides to vet members & manage posts are attempts to be helpful, but they make things more difficult than they could be.
GM!
I'm working on a concept for a stream deck to fully automate a hyper local podcast.
One part is a scraper or API to pull headlines and the 5 Ws into text.
Second part is text-to-speech.
Last part is the streaming deck to X, YT, RSS and of course, nostr.
The concept is to create a 24-7 podstream for a small locality. This is in the public benefit to inform the community but mostly as background noise or to entertain the pets while the humans are away.
The goal is to full automate the stream, going " live with humans at 5pm" or at will or during emergencies. Ideally, this can be open-source and easily replicable for someone with moderate tech skills.
I'm doing this because my parents constantly have Spectrum Channel xx on, and they are getting the predictable MSM psyops in addition to weather, hype and some poor quality journalism. With the state of the MSM, we have to take hyper local journalism in our own hands!

#hyperlocal #v4v #grownostr
why is that so bad?
Thats where the market is for now and thats fine.
Nostr is just a better technology solution and will be able to provide a far superior experience here.
One where
- you do not need to kyc
- do not need a companies permission to transmit information about your local community and that has nothing to do with that company nor do they need to be the broker of this information
- one where you control the id
- one that cannot be stopped and censored
so far superior itās funny
What types of issues are listed on there? I would think there is a network effect on Facebook.
Plus I intuitively feel like I am more anonymous and private on Nostr so I donāt associate with it being something for local news.
I would use it for local if I could find a high value group of people focused on my regions news.
Thatās a brilliant idea ā¦ thereās a website called Neighbourhood - which runs a similar community approach ā¦.
