Nextdoor has a similar problem but even worse when it comes to the toxicity.
3 comments

Nextdoor is much worse because instead of emergent community standards there is always some neighborhood admin who is the nosiest busybody you've ever heard of, because that's exactly the type of person who would be a Nextdoor early adopter. And the Nextdoor platform compounds the toxic nature of the product by giving crime posts wider distribution than all other kinds of posts.
Nextdoor is where people go when they've been kicked out of the neighbourhood Facebook groups (or entirely out of Facebook).
