I lasted about one week on Nexdoor. Maybe it's just my neighborhood, but it felt like the weirdest passive-aggressive digital version of everyone peeking out their blinds. Endless worries about someone getting packages stolen, what the city was doing to our park, who in the neighborhood was secretly Antifa or QAnon, and endless screenshots of security cameras. Noped right out.

I think services like this just attract this sort of person. Paranoid busybodies are going to be overwhelmingly more interested in commenting on this sort of system, so that's what it skews towards. Everyone else understands that they're just living in a regular neighborhood, and no, non white people aren't drug dealers so there's not really anything to talk about.
