Same exact thing on Ring. I swear there's at least one gunshot post every week and the OP often doubles down and says they were in the military and know what a gunshot sounds like.

Funnily enough, the most useful Nextdoor posting I ever came across was an explanation of what a 2-step exhaust mod was.

I’ve always found Nextdoor useless. There’s no way to customize sort options on the app so if I search for something all sorts of ancient stuff clogs the results.

You must live in my ‘hood.

I'm pretty sure I'd dislike my neighborhood more if I were on it.

LOL OP, so true. And your nextdoor is my nextdoor! 😂

You know what I was just thinking? Nextdoor is like the ok’d fashioned community newspapers we don’t have anymore. We need more backyard bird pictures and less political hatred on social media.

Personally, Nextdoor would be so much more interesting if there was a turn-off-animal posts filter... Scrolling through them gets tedious so I stay off it now.

We have one woman who likes to post anti-mask and trumpist screeds which get removed pretty quickly. Otherwise it’s lost dogs and “suspicious” people/vehicles spotted in the neighborhood.

Not mine. It's lost dogs and cats, questions about snakes (is it a copperhead?), complaints about various things - the empty shelves at the grocery store, kids doing dumb things, etc.

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.
