I've seen this on NextDoor myself. The most innocent Nosy Nancy post I saw was along the lines of: "Observed teenagers walking eastbound with backpacks. Suspicious. Took note, will call police." We live near a school. It was closing time. They were walking home. Add in the homeless in general, the Goodwill donation truck that seconds as a recycling center ["oh no, a homeless magnet!"], and so on and it's a real life NIMBY parody of 'Toxic Avenger'.
My cynical side jokes as follows:
* Twitter: Hate your heroes
* Facebook: Hate your friends//family
* NextDoor: Hate your neighbors
I'm glad I don't NextDoor anymore, and I'm on the Twitter//Facebook//Reddit triumvirate if that says anything.
NextDoor may not be a stone fence needing annual repair, but my noping out of it has tended toward better neighborly relationships.
