Nextdoor.com Is a Toxic Asylum for the Criminally Insane
1/11/2024 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 01/11/2024 7:04:21 AM PST by Lazamataz

I joined Nextdoor to see if there were any good deals I could find, also to stay informed about local issues.

Instead of a normal community, I found a bunch of wrinkled psychotic Karens. I made a joke or two and immediately was set upon by some sociopath chick who told me (publicly and privately in Nextdoor email) that I needed mental health help, and that I was a very evil, very bad person. She called me every name in the book, and ranted at me for about two pages of insane text.

I reported this crazy lady using the Report feature, and asked her politely never to contact me again.

The next time I tried to log on, I found I was banned.

Nexrtdoor.com is a ghetto version of the old Twitter, with banning policies that have absolutely no consistency or reason, and who is populated by shrill psychotic old ladies looking for a reason -- any reason -- to jump you.

I haven’t tried this, but I remember the old, defunct Topix pages. If you wanted to know about the bad and the ugly in your neighborhood and in your neighbors, your local Topix page was the place to go.

You are so right! I joined it years ago for the same reason. After a few days I started trying to cancel so I would no longer receive email updates and it it took a couple of months for the cancellation to take effect.

I thought I would be notified of burglaries or scams in the area; wrecks, storm damage/blocked roads, local community issues, lost/found pets, etc.

A word of warning for those that are considering joining. The place is nothing but liberal women reporting every perceived slight they have received, past, present, and those expected in the future. Also they complain of gun fire each hunting season and coordinate calling LEOs each time they hear gunfire. I was so glad when my cancellation was finally complete.

I believe you’ve got it all wrong...

You see, Laz Baby: you’re a chick magnet. You drive them nuts - especially the wrinkled Karens. So the only way to protect themselves from all the weird vibes you put out is to call you names, then hide themselves out of shame.

What power you have!

I am reading all this, have been reading Nextdoor but not posted on it. This is eye opening and I’m turning off their notifications and getting out of it.

I need this like a hole in the head.

I’m banning you from NextDoor for that comment. :)

Same exact thing happened to me. No loss other than a little time.

Facebook is that here
“I need food for my children. I don’t need to eat. I can’t go to the places that hand out food because I don’t have transportation. I don’t want people coming to my place. I really need someone to give me a gift card so I can get the food myself. “
Comments:
“How will you get the food if you don’t have a car?”
“Someone can take me”
“Why can’t they take you to the food pantry?”
“I can ride the bus”
“The bus has a stop at the food pantry”
“Why do you hate Jesus?”
They finally started turning off comments

Yesterday’s was “My grandparents are sick and don’t have any food in the house”. People were recommending DoorDash.

And how did that happen?

Could brains have something to do with that?

Nextdoor is a great resource for lost pets to be reunited with their owners.

Ditto for FaceBook with their lost/found pages.

I have a possible solution for the neighbor problem thing. It’s kinda old school. Go out and meet your neighbors. Exchange phone numbers. Then when you see a stray dog or cat, or something that seems out of place, you can call one or some of the neighbors.

It’s one of the things I love about my little town. People know each other. We talk with each other, fairly regularly, though not every day. We also watch out for each other.

Forget the social media apps. The old school way works just fine. At least it does for me, and for now.

No, look at stupid siblings in almost every family.

I would bet you even have stupid Biden supporters, in yours, right?

It’s social media, ergo it’s crap.
It took some walking around outside, but all my neighbors know me personally. Most are much older folks, so they don’t do social media. Many don’t have cell phones or computers! They believe in eye contact.
Have a regular yard event of some sort, a get-together, a block party.
No good comes of “non-anomymity” online.

I’ve found recently that a lot of companies ask for your LinkedIn profile link in their applications.

Yup. I leave that blank, and have had to explain on the phone that I do not use it. I don’t think it was ever a deal-breaker, but who knows?

I live in an apartment complex. A neighbor let his cat out periodically a few years ago. One day it went missing and he left a flyer on the mailbox. About a week later the cat was looking out of window in the apartment building across from me. I left him a note on his door and he got his cat back. It just happened again, but the cat was turned into the apartment management.

I am careful what I say on Nextdoor....but I think in my area it’s useful for crime reporting.

I find Nextdoor useful for monitoring local criminal activity. Posters bitch and moan in great detail about incidents which never get reported elsewhere. It is useful to see the patterns of the scams and other exploits.

The local police monitor Nextdoor postings for the same reason. Once in a while they make a posting bragging about some arrest that presumably will reassure the public. They use Twitter("X") for that purpose too.

I never post in Nextdoor. There is no purpose served by doing that.

For some unknown reason, I was appointed as a Nextdoor moderator. It seems to have been a random pick. I routinely vote to drop any posts with personal insults and vote to pass all other posts. I am usually outvoted on the latter items, as most of the other moderators are flaming leftists. I do not try to engage them in any way.

We joined briefly and departed for the same reasons. What a bunch of Karens and borderline psychopaths.

Wandering into an insane asylum is at your own risk.

Thanks for submitting yourself to the dangers.

Haha similar experience... I don’t visit often. One memorable entry was posted by a local lady who was worried about a goat she had sold a few days before and kind of wanted it back. She was explaining the sale and apparently two Mexicans pulled up in a pickup truck gave her the asking price, rooed it up, threw it in the back of the truck and drove off. Her afterthought of the exchange worried her so she posted.

The comments were wonderful.

it's completely taken over by Marxist Karens...even in rural areas

True dat. I spoke out about resistance to the inclusion of SEL in the local school curriculum, and boy, did they ever come out of the woodwork. Reminded me of the Simpsons cat lady.
