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.

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.
