I wonder if the problem is just size?

I split time between two places - one in Brooklyn and the other in a small coastal New Jersey town of 4000 (Atlantic Highlands).

I never bothered using Nextdoor in Brooklyn or Manhattan but I’ve found it pleasant and useful for things like plumber and handyman recommendations, awareness about what’s going on with large noises (naval exercises / dredging) etc. etc.

It’s definitely moderated heavily and I’ve seen political posts removed which I’m fine with - just not what I’m looking for out of it. But it has been generally pleasant enough that I find myself actually reading the email digests and interacting.

By contrast I’ve deleted and disabled Instagram and Facebook and am trying to wean myself off of ever looking for content on Twitter even though I’m purely readonly there.
