[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what's in my feed:

- pictures of birds someone took
- pictures of a sub that someone accidentally spilled a ton of crushed red pepper flakes on
- posting photos bragging about the pound cake they baked
- sharing their crappy pencil sketch of the inside of a coffee shop

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.

You must live in Alexandria.  That's where I live and I have all 4 of those, also.  Frankly, I am fine with the ones you listed.

The one that sent me into despair a week or two ago was the foul-mouthed waitress ranting about a customer, and then a bunch of people piling on with the validation.  Like, what?  No, you don't validate someone with such gross and unkind words and gestures.

I absolutely abhor the ones where someone is trying to "out" another person.  Like the one in the dog park.  There are two sides to every story and just reading that post made me doubt the veracity of the poster.  There were too many details left out.  I really wanted to know what her dog was doing if she had so much to say about these other people.

At one point I had probably half of my "neighbors" muted but I realized I was missing their posts and so was unable to keep up with how whacked out some of my neighbors really are.  So now I just lurk.  If they ever do an audit of people who are "members" but don't post, and decide to kick us out, I'll probably be the first to go.  Good riddance to their bad rubbish as far as I am concerned if they do decide to kick me out.   :wink: [/quote]
