Have you ever used the next-door app?

Question

I don't know if it's a thing elsewhere but here in the UK it's like a watered down version of Facebook for local people. Around here most posts revolve around housewives needing a sink unblocked ideally while their husbands at work and has anyone seen my missing cat.

Photos are genuine but trimmed to hide identity

I'm on Nextdoor stateside, I got it to post a cat I found (or rather a cat that found me... It wondered into my cellar). I rarely go on it but 90% of the posts I see are Karen's complaining about the noise from some kids playing in a back yard or reporting a suspicious looking ethnic minority walking their dog.

I was on it (UK) , seemed like a good idea at the time , being mentioned to know your neighborhood but quickly realized people either just wanted to rant , complain or sell something. Or at least that was my experience in the 6 months or so I was on it

Yep, there is next door here. I don’t use it now being away at school. Ours would be here “Tammy stole my straightener”.

I've been on Nextdoor for several years now. Most of it is people uselessly ranting and raving about something, but every so often there's a good informational post.

A few years ago, there was a proposed change in our local government. Nextdoor was the main medium that correctly explained that the change was a bad idea, in opposition to what the government was pushing for, and it was voted down.

I have used it in the past but not now. It was useful for somethings such as coyote warnings, funny for others, astonishing in some ways with what people thought was important, and watching some Karen’s going after other Karen’s.

@purplepoppy   I have it and you are dead on... it is a Neighborhood Facebook, and I never use it.

I've never heard of this app, but I sense its potential for trolling. Time to put on my Batman outfit and put a belt around my neck...
