So I find out today I've been cancelled by "neighborly" NextDoor.
This is absurd - and perhaps I was "reported" (snitched) by the last jerk I replied to last week. He was telling everyone how there aren't many of us (around here - indeed) and we're just posting alot (not true) and WE SHOULD REPORT THEM AND GET THEM BANNED. I gave him a piece of my mind in public.
That goes for ND - and FB, and YT also.
“Neighborhood watch, texts & email.”
No thanks. I don’t want to be bombarded by thousands of emails/texts each day.
Just Dial 1-800-IAMARAT!
“and at some point they will decide you are more trouble than its worth.”
And that is kind of my own sentiments at this point. Until it truly causes me direct problems it is more trouble than it is worth.
Nothing will happen to them anyhow. It is the nature of the beast.
Yes it is! I flushed that dog poop over a year ago when I saw what it was trying to sell.
I fully understand, but until it directly harms me, causes a hardship, or defames my character I have no true complaint to pursue it. Nothing will happen to them anyhow. It is the nature of the beast. They are not going to go out of their way to help me bust a Cop. All they might do is shake their finger at him but I will never hear another word about it.
Among the rest, there is ONE important thing I learned from my brief experience on social media:
Our Founders were geniuses about democracy... i.e., absent a discussion, I changed NO ONE’s mind and could never have, even as an influencer under the thumb of the social media tyrants. Mob rules. Going to a fight with a keyboard won’t change a thing.
I’ve heard the tired argument from others I left behind on FB: “If I reach one person, it’s worth it.”
I apparently lack that gene (ego) and/or emotional need, and there’s no substituting a text-based “gotcha” for a good old, knock down argument face-to-face. I got into social media to facilitate my business at the time; I learned valuable lessons and I’m not alone.
The evidence is all around us: The new great migration is happening as I type.
I will eventually figure it out. Eventually they will type something that will give it away.
What I wrote was sarcasm.
I suggest following the new apps to see how they develop.
I have nothing good to contribute for those who stay on ND or any other lefty social media.
“What is the alternative to ND?”
Broadsheets. Hammer and nails. Trees.
Next Door is a cesspool.
I had a guy who was hounding me with private messages. He wanted to know my shoe size, which would determine which of us was smarter.
When I told him to F#%$ off in a private message, he reported me and I was suspended.
That sounds like meth-level paranoia.
But, I will keep an open mind.
“What I wrote was sarcasm”
Always get that reply when a poster realizes he erred in posting.
Thank you for sharing that. And I understand, I have only myself to blame. I have been visited by the feds also, and had my domain hacked by the DOD and the NIC at the request of McCain because I hurt his feelings on Twitter.
O.
K.
And you sound like someone who just might do that. Read the following posts. Was it you?
I have the proof from my server host... And I know that MaCain was the source. He was the only one I could have pissed off at the time powerful enough to get it done. Both the DOD system and someone who using the NIC system as sources simultaneously. The NIC system serves the FBI and the CIA.
My NextDoor is mostly things like lost dog, found dog, flooded road, etc.
There is a political group, but I stay away from that.
Once in a while someone gets political or rude and that’s usually followed by several people telling them to go away.
