I am sad that I didn't get on Nextdoor a few months earlier than I did. I signed up a few months after comet NEOWISE was visible in the summer of 2020.
To better view the comet I used dark sky maps and street maps to find places I could reasonably reach in my county that had significantly darker skies than those at my house.
I'd then drive to those areas after dark, park, and then get out and stand near my car looking at the comet with my binoculars.
Since getting on Nextdoor and seeing the paranoia there I've wondered how many posts about someone lurking in the dark casing the neighborhood my comet watching prompted.
