NextDoor is on the next level of paranoia and fear-mongering. There is a lady in my that posts about “gunshots” like every other day. We live in an ultra-safe suburban neighborhood, and I can assure you there are no gunshots. She is far from the only crazy person on there.
NextDoor is a really cool idea for a website. I joined hoping to find local activities, and social groups that I’d fit into. Instead, all i found was people arguing about trump. What the hell is wrong with people online these days?
This is what happens when technology is made super easy to use and convenient - every idiot imaginable will use it. Adding even a minor technical barrier to entry will limit the stupid. Like the equivalent of adding a floor-to-ceiling turnstile to the door. You know, the ones made of horizontal bars that look like they want to eat you. A minor requirement of technological comprehension will filter out a lot of idiots. Lemmy kinda works on a similar principle.
By me there’s a post a month of a photo asking if it’s a wolf wandering the neighborhood. When it’s not a fox, it’s a stray poodle. We’re 25 miles from NYC.

I love reporting political posts.
In our Seattle neighborhood, we call people out for being political. It’s pretty tame here, believe it or not.
A lot of lost pets though, so it’s sad to scroll through.

It’s the name of an app/website/email spam service.
