I have it for some reason. Probably need to delete. My gripe with it is there a lot of posts that are not from my immediate neighborhood. I don't care about stuff going on 5-10 miles away.

Our neighborhood Facebook group is way more informative.

I just checked mine.. There are 73 comments to a question someone posed about a gas station under construction.

This is the pinnacle of society. Back to the future got it all wrong.

It is a scary app. It lets you know just how many stupid and scary people live nearby.

You can narrow it down to just your neighborhood.

Is there a way to make it default to just your neighborhood? Part of the reason I never bother with it is that it’s kind of a PITA to get the feed filtered to my neighborhood. But maybe I’m just retarded.

These Nextdoor apps and Facebook groups bring about the absolute worst of humanity. I don't know what it is, but it makes people publicize the most vile versions of themselves.

"To the person who rolled through the stop sign yesterday.........."

"To the person whose thought it was appropriate to let your dog urinate on the telephone pole in front of my house......."

"To the waitress who waited on us at Cracker Barrell ......."

"Stay away from the Burger King on Main St. My nuggets were lukewarm and the person at the drive through refused to give me refund"

"Is this snake poisonous?"

I could no longer take listening to all the "Karen's" complaining about insignificant crap.

I signed up both mom and I when we moved in 5 years ago. Within 3 months I was done. It’s TOO normal of a neighborhood and although a bunch of the neighbors are signed up it was dead. No excitement, no lost pets, nobody selling nor looking for charity.

Just a quiet suburban neighborhood with apparently quiet, comfortable inhabitants.

but it encompasses several other regions


The validity of being a true neighbor posting a true recommendation of an 3rd party company always depended on the leads of your neighborhood and of one’s next to yours that have been added to default view.

Then when they started automatically adding “nearby” neighborhoods miles away including in other cities and then including items for sale even further out Nextdoor became useless to me.

Many didn’t even realize they are replying to someone who doesn’t live in their own neighborhood much less the same city. They often also didn’t realize that some neighborhoods included on the opposite ends of their added posting area can’t see all of the same posts from all the same neighborhoods (be it distance apart or just manually removing the added neighborhoods).

I would look at the map of neighborhoods including on a post, and it would be ours and then jump over not included neighborhoods for a couple of miles out to include new neighborhoods on outskirts added by Nextdoor that member just got tired of manually removing or didn’t know the additions happened (the notification wasn’t clear it was added to your default view and post neighborhood and made it look like it was just available to add to your nearby neighborhoods). In their mind it was as they initially set up and that poster from a bordering city was someone in their neighborhood or their originally selected nearby neighborhoods not realizing Nextdoor start to add new neighborhoods automatically as they were created or as the radius for “nearby” they used increased.

The long radius several miles out of added nearby neighborhoods was good for lost pets that may have had time to wander, but otherwise was a pain. A FB group by a few neighbors willing to verify people as living in neighborhood and then be limited to neighbors only was better for neighborhood postings.

I guess I am just an old man but what in the hell is the point?

Someone has a package missing. Call the shipper, file a claim. If they do bupkus you ought not have done business with a shyster. Live and learn. If you get package that is not yours and can't find the address its yours, do with it what you wish.

Dog shitting in the yard? So what. If you don't want animal shite in your yard clean it up. Birds shite in your yard. Deer shite in your yard. Live in some neighborhoods and homeless people will shite in your yard. Chances are pretty good its a stray dog and if not you will probably eventually catch the miscreant walking their dog in your yard. Tell them to quit. Folks in our neighborhood get tore the frick up over dogs shitting in their yards. The time they spend bitching about is about 3 times what it takes to get a walmart sack, pick it up and toss it in the garbage can. It ain't the shite that bothers them, it is the audacity of someone letting their dog shite in their yard....when there is a pretty good chance the dog was a stray or had gotten out without anyone knowing. At the end of the day its just dog shite, clean it up if it bothers you.

Parking in the street. Holy hell. Every house has cars in front in the street. Everyone pretends like its A) the end of the world (its dangerous for the school bus...must tie everything to child safety) and B) they would never, in a billion years, park a car or have a visitor park a car in the street. frick those people.


Garbage cans left at curb or. god forbid, visible from the curb. Again, so what? Folks produce garbage. Be glad its only the can and not the actual garbage strewn all over the neighborhood.


This is a typical one...a strange person in the neighborhood. Almost always accompanied by a mention of the person's race, for some inexplicable reason. Again, so what? Its a free fricking country, there is no reason to expect never encountering a stranger in your neighborhood. If you are truly fearful of strangers lock your shite up and get an alarm system. Better yet move if its real and if it ain't seek some professional help. Living with irrational fears can be crippling.

People speak longingly of a time when they knew their neighbors. frick that. I don't have any desire to know any more fricking people and I sure as shite do not need any more people knowing me. Given a choice between knowing my neighbors and my neighbors ignoring me and allowing me the same luxury I am going with the latter every single time. If, for some reason, you do need to know more people, introduce yourself to your neighbors. Talk to them. When they leave their trash can on the street, let their dog shite on your lawn and have their teen child parking in the street tell them about it, hell, you know them.
