can't speak to this, as I use adblock when browsing. I don't doubt you, though.

I don't see this. first of all, I don't actually see a specific "crime" category, presumably this falls under "safety". if I try to add a post to a specific category, I don't notice any difference in the default settings.
as for what I see in my home feed, I only see crime related posts from users in nearby locations (ie, my neighborhood and immediately adjacent ones). I only see city-wide posts from city officials, and these are on a variety of topics.
- jeffbee 6y agoI can't verify this any more because I spiked my Nextdoor account by "moving" to Comiskey Park, but when I used it "Crime & Safety" was one of the top-level categories under which you could post, along with General, For Sale, etc. When you chose Crime & Safety, the maximum scope to which you could post was broadened to include your whole "wider area" which for me was all of central and north Oakland, Piedmont, and Alameda.
