I tried Nextdoor but quickly closed the app when it was filled with rumors about who in the neighborhood isn't cleaning up after their dog. Maybe I'm throwing away the baby with the bath water, but I don't feel like I miss out on all that much by forgoing yet another social media platform vying for my attention
- ceejayoz 6y agoI gave it up during the run up to the election. Felt way better off afterwards.
- adamredwoods 6y agoI feel Nextdoor needs to heavily moderate political and racist discussions, but the person-power for this is probably too high until better AI tools come. In the meantime, they can create more focused discussion and topics than being open-ended. Lost pets, local handymen (and women), and new shops or dining seem to be the most harmonious. Sadly, crime reports will get comments about legality of shooting one-another, and discussions end poorly. They should turn off comments for those reports.
- hashkb 6y agoI recently moved. My last neighborhood had aggressive moderation; by the time you clicked a notification for a political thread it'd be gone. In my new neighborhood we're still arguing about Trump yard signs.
- centimeter 6y agoYour definition of "racist" is just median boomer beliefs (and what you would also believe if you were their age). Believe it or not, the rubes aren't so stupid that they don't notice when silicon valley progressives "heavily moderate" their community discussions.
- p1necone 6y agoYour definition of "racist" is just median greatest generation beliefs (and what you would also believe if you were their age). Believe it or not, the rubes aren't so stupid that they don't notice when progressives "heavily moderate" their community lynchings. See how ridiculous you sound?
- mypalmike 6y agoThe nextdoor rumor mill isn't the bathwater. It is the baby.
- tshaddox 6y agoI understand why it might be harmful (or at least annoying) to see people spreading rumors about who isn't cleaning up after their dog, but I'm curious how you might better handle the problem of people in the neighborhood not cleaning up after their dog.
- mosdave 6y agotwo options: a.) you confront them when you witness them doing it b.) nothing
- stevenwoo 6y agoThe fines should be proportionate to income to pay for the program but this would work https://time.com/4552903/mislata-spain-dog-feces/ https://time.com/4552903/mislata-spain-dog-feces/
- foolinaround 6y agoit should be for all crimes
- 3np 6y agoIt is in most places I think ?) At least every country I lived so far (not that I’m a vagrant criminal lol)
- qwertay 6y agoInstall a camera on the front of your house and if you see a dog shit on the street you grab the video and forward it to authorities.
- robertcope 6y agoI have had problems with people letting their dogs poop in my yard. What I started doing was scooping up the poop and putting it on the sidewalk. Interestingly, this seems to work. I confronted one woman whose dog was pooping in my yard when I got home a few years ago. She came back and keyed my S2000. Of course the police did nothing.
