Nextdoor is everyone's grandma now.

RIP Nextdoor. It used to be a decent place to get community updates, local recs, and yard sale virtually. Then it became a social/political soap box to complain about issues of the day. Then a ton of covid shaming. Now it's basically a hoarder house combined with chain letters, prayer circle requests, and bragging about you and your grandkids.

Your neighborhood sounds a bit down market. Our NextDoor is filled with post about people putting dog poop in other people's trash bins. We are pretty posh.

My all time favorite Nextdoor post: "Can someone make the wind stop blowing?" Many comments followed regarding the poster's mental state and alcohol and/or drug intake.

I love, “Here’s a photo of my bug bite and a video of bees outside my house! Squeal!”

Sounds like your neighbors are predominately liberals that can’t care for pets and are not-so-subtle racists. Yeeesh. Glad I don’t live there. Sounds awful.

SO many lost pets. We are not a pet family (allergies) and I just can't get over how many dogs, cats and birds (yes, multiple birds) are on the loose at any given time.

A guy a block from us posted video of a mountain lion on their patio last week. Those are the posts I like. Otherwise it’s mostly garbage.

But there was a "warning police told a friend" people claiming to come to your house to give you free masks from a government program. They ask you to try it on, turns out it is soaked in something to knock you out. Then they rob your house or kidnap you for white sex slavery.

That made me lol.

That one used to be that people would approach you in walmart parking lots to try perfume samples.

That’s pretty cool. We just get crazy pants calling out other people’s driving.

Hope they didn’t throw out that red pepper sub...I’ll take it!

I think it’s a wonderful app that lets people become neighborly and kind with one another. Builds a village!

Someone (who lives in my actual neighborhood) is on a crusade against people who walk or jig in the street rather than on the sidewalk and recently cited a Maryland law that prohibits walking on the street if a sidewalk is present. Gonna make a citizen’s arrest? Such a strange cause to champion.

That assumes people actually want to be around you. If people in your neighborhood don’t seek you out, and I don’t mean on a semi-anonymous app, it’s you. Spewing on some app might seem like people like you, but do they?
