- taborj 7y agoChecking in from a mostly-white suburban neighborhood. The only "crime" post I've ever seen was about a homeless guy going through trashcans and yelling at people. Everything else is as OP states; yard sales, missing (and found) pets, etc. Edit: I also find it ironical that you're fear mongering on a post complaining that apps are fear mongering...
- res0nat0r 7y agoLike everyone's complaints about Slack, it's the users and not Nextdoor that are the problem.
- cantchoose 7y agoSure, but like Slack at work, you don't have the option to choose who you're connected to on it. So if you happen to have bad people on it (and both apps incentivize people who are inclined to act poorly to do so), you're boned.
- PascLeRasc 7y agoNextdoor around me is awful. It's just older white people posting pictures of people of color who walk in front of their house and saying "Does anyone know if this guy lives here??? I think he was trying to rob my house!!!" and everyone piles on with "Yeah I don't know that guy, call the cops!". Fuck Nextdoor. I can't wait until it's out of business.
- ImprovedSilence 7y agoI used next door in the white burbs. It didn’t seem too bad. It Was mostly people setting up garage sales, or the trying to get the whole street to do some kind of themed Christmas lights. The biggest flame war I saw was a bunch of people ganging up on a cop who said he didn’t want the local marijuana dispensary to open up cuz it would bring in the riff raff...
