For me, Nextdoor is primarily people looking for lost pets, complaining about "suspicious" strangers, and making dubious crime reports. That's hardly a replacement for a local newspaper.
- alamortsubite 6y agoThe feed in my neighborhood might be a little different, but I think you forgot to mention real estate listings and ads for surveillance cameras.
- drdeadringer 6y ago> ads for surveillance cameras How much of that advertisement is based off of "Paranoid Paige" with too much time on their hands? Not to necessarily rail against using metrics, but metrics can be tilted -- if everyone's Paranoid Paige, how deep and legit is that gold mine?
- drdeadringer 6y agoThis is the best and most generous description of NextDoor I have found so far.

- whateveracct 6y agodon't forget about every loud sound being "gunshots??"
- smogcutter 6y agoHah, I honestly believe you should have to pass a test distinguishing the sounds of gunshots, fireworks, and trucks backfiring before you’re allowed to post on nextdoor.
- Rapzid 6y agoIn my city for a while there it was 3-4x as many people reporting *found* pets compared to lost pets; "Dang people, stop discarding your pets." Probably the hot topic these days is lawn/porch theft.
- cosmodisk 6y ago>lawn/porch theft What's that? People steal the actual lawn or things off the porch?
