I joined Nextdoor thinking it would be cool to meet with local programmers and computer hobbyists. My first red flag was that apparently things involving computers are not a hobby in nextdoor. The second red flag was that it told me my community "needed" me to invite one other person before I even got to the feed - what? You could skip it but I would absolutely not have known based on the language used. Finally, I got to the feed and... It sucked. It felt like it was all just NIMBYs, but even then it felt dead and lacking any decent content.

Frankly, I can't believe this app exists.
