Nextdoor.com Is a Toxic Asylum for the Criminally Insane

June is Queer Decadence Month. All the large corporations, and many of the smaller ones, splash gaudy paint all over the place and virtue signal to a sickening level.

I've dumped prospective recruiters over their homo-militancy.

[Lazamataz]

Ah. Gotchya.

[Magnum44]

Like most of social media, to be avoided.

I got banned from Nextdoor, and I still don’t know why. I didn’t know for a while because I rarely use the platform. I hadn’t logged in for months and when I did I my account was suspended.

I must have said something truthful and some “progressive” got “triggered” or something.

Funny thing is, I was able to log in right after, so I guess my suspension expired.

I got jumped by Karens once for jokingly posting about the bacon grease solution to dogs pooping in your yard and the owners not picking it up. Pour bacon grease on the offense, and the offender will clean it up for you, or so the story goes. I’ve never actually done this, as it’s a risky proposition. Your own dog might get there first.
Anyway, howls of indignation ensued, even though it was clear I was being tongue-in-cheek. It was all women.

Our town’s has turned into basically a place where people beg for money. Presumably most of these are fakes, just grifting along, but some may be real. At any rate, when you just what to know which electrician to use and instead you’re reading some poor soul’s life and death story, it tends not to make you want to go back.

[Alas Babylon!]

What happens in June where I should avoid it?

Pride month, rainbow flags, celebrate sexual perversions...

With some exceptions:

[Lazamataz]

Yeah. Lots of hustlers and grifters.

The professional networking site LinkedIn is getting just as bad. Don’t even open in during the month of June.

When I dumped LinkedIn before I was laid off, and decided not to go back on. A lot of the recruiters were flabbergasted that I wasn't on LinkedIn. I just tell them that Microsoft ruined it. It also is a problem if you are applying for different types of jobs and prepare resumes with different emphases and posturings. But mostly I just don't like Microsoft having a database of 90+% of professional workers and another database of those with Microsoft accounts. It is almost a government in its own right.

Nextdoor has such an awful reputation in my book that I stopped doing business with two associates of mine simply because they both invited me to set up an account on that site.

I have only used it a few times and while a lot of junk it did prove very useful yesterday when a truck apparently lost a box of roofing nails that were all over the dirt road in front of our house. My wife came in with a bagful she had picked up from just in front, but they were scattered at least 1/4 mile. In each direction. Called the city which never came, posted on Nextdoor and within a couple of hours some guy showed up with a floor sweeping magnet saying he heard there were free nails. He gathered up a large boxful, hopefully we’ll avoid a flat.

Instead of a normal community, I found a bunch of wrinkled psychotic Karens. I made a joke or two....found out I was banned.

My same exact experience, meaning this is the norm. It's a kook site, avoid at all costs.

[spacejunkie2001]

Yes, LinkedIn is AWFUL too. The founder is that nutcase Reed something who has been funding the nutcase in NY that accused Trump of rape (but she can’t remember when it was)

[outofsalt]

"old ladies looking for a reason -- any reason -- to jump you."

Uhmm..?)

[spacejunkie2001]

reveal your inner homo!! don’t forget your pronouns either, ya big dope!

[PghBaldy]

I find jokes told to strangers can go awry, but that is in my real life. Online is worse, as nuance, tone and demeanor is missed. Sorry this happened to you.

Ah, you’ve met Ann W...

It’s how they ‘organize’. Marxists are very good at it. Conservatives not so much.

This is how they can gin up a massive demon-stration in less than a day so that it looks like ‘grassroots’. Conservatives are slow to catch on......................
