Nostr Web Client

For 5+ years, the HOA in the hood I live in, has struggled with a "community Facebook page" started by myself and a neighbor over 10 years ago.

At first, EVERYONE in the hood used the page. People introduced themselves, rented homes, advertised their home listings, posted picture of the hood and animals and shared road conditions and general pointers about living in the mountain community we all love.

HOA board members want the page removed so badly. I've received public pleadings, private pleadings, in person pressures, to close the group page. A board member started another group page a few years ago, because they want to control the dialog and posts.

THIS is why I want "communities" on nostr. While I don't want "gatekeeping" to keep others out, I want a "protocol" where users can interact freely, perhaps with some verification. I don't know how it'd work, but what I do know is Facebook and other platforms are broken, but I'm confident nostr/bitcoin can help fix it.

Anyway, HOA's are a scourge on the modern world.

I've been in many how battles as a consultant here in Mexico. It always amazes how foreigners will come and create an agreement and then a few must try and run it like they are the majority.

Then the government steps in and lawsuits begin to fly. I don't care if there are 7 or 100 rules ot appears a few always want to screw it up for the majority.

The majority also wants to be lazy ( apathetic) and do little to protect their rights or ethos until it's a disaster.

My concern is that as I build out Rancho San Satoshi and open it to others we will have to create some form of governance and I believe as humans we have not yet learned how to share and live together.

One of the main topics for Sovereign Citadel Sunday program is work on this issue.

Yes, the board (that has now completely switched people) retained an attorney 5-6 years ago. He even attends the monthly meetings. He was counseling during the cc&r restructuring attempt. He's still here, cuz the current board thinks he's necessary. So toxic.

Ugh.
