It's due to the "boy that cried wolf" way that people use those platforms. For years, Nextdoor (and Ring Neighbors), in the areas I've lived, have been mostly fearmongering about those of the wrong shade being "suspicious" (often it's just a door-to-door person hawking electricity, or solar, or whatever - I hate those salespeople as much as anyone, but the discussions made it sound like they were all trying to break into homes)
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI'm pretty sure parent just mentioned a physical description of the person the police were looking for, and that entailed a certain skin color that will get your post automatically taken down. There was a murder last week, the police have a description of the person, but they aren't allowed to say it (or the media platforms aren't passing it on), so we should all be on the look out for a person driving a white Porsche, they have hair and a hoody, they are dangerous, good luck. Mentioning race at all is taboo, since if they just do it when the perpetrator is white, then we will all just assume they are non-white when race is not mentioned.
