I think you're missing the point, both of you. It's not people's opinions I'd be interested in 50 years from now; it's just what they were talking about. Everyone might have an opinion about some event, but it's the event itself I'd want to know.

You’re right, of course.

How many historical nextdoors are you aware of? For me, none. But is that because they don’t exist or just that no record survived? Social media is secret society.

None. That's what I noted: all these neighborhood-specific social sites would be gold for a future historian. Or novelist.
