NextDoor, IMO, is just another Facebook clone used for information gathering, social shaming and political activism.
The only reason I’m on it is to keep up with what goes on in our town and see what I’ll have to be dealing with if I leave my house.
If people are truthful about crime in the city, they are shamed for being negative. Leftist actists and agitators are constantly trolling the feed trying to draw people out so they can find out which side they’re on.
Almost everyone is tripping over their own dicks and feet to outdo the others in virtue signalling.
It is only useful to gauge conditions in your area. In my area, I just keep my mouth shut and blend in.
I never post. I only monitor how batshit crazy my neighbors are and take appropriate cautionary measures.
I love the bargains I get when people are desperate to get rid of quality items.
I do not publicly state any comments and only observe and save a bunch of money from stupid people.
I’ve found the only real use for NextDoor is for pet lost and found issues.
Most of the time people are being paranoid or just need to vent. “Did anyone hear that?!!!” “What’s that smell?” “Dog pooped in my yard.”
A bunch of 3rd graders. NextDoor made me realize that the neighbors around me were a cluster of juvenile morons.
