re: What goes down on your neighborhood's NextDoor?

Mine consist of an old man complaining about kids on golf carts and fireworks.

Today’s email titles I’ve received

Wings
Loud plane
Puppy for adoption
Dog attack
ISO doggie day care/ gas fireplace wiring person
Dog sitting
Lost puppy
Work Bench
consignment/purchase of antique furniture, fine china, crystal, etc

Ads, classifieds, sponsored posts, fake recommendations that are really by business owner, and Nextdoor adding neighborhoods from nearby cities automatically to feeds. Also, Constantly repeated posts of a similar nature because of near neighborhoods around perimeter that don't see each other posts while we do (on top of people having different NN settings). Also a lot of lost pets.

It's a big cluster. Even pertinent posts that slip through end up accidentally posting to all near neighborhoods what is really a neighborhood post making it hard to respond without people in 2 other cities seeing it. Post then also get so much misinformation, because people respond based on their HOA, schools, or their city.

We also had a problem with the always offended from near neighborhoods showing up and starting stuff. 99% of over complainers were complaining or having a concern about a white person or kid, but god forbid someone posts about a black person in a similar way. White SJWs including power hungry leads from near neighborhoods then have a fit even if they stood by saying nothing when their white neighbors were bitched about.

If neighborhood doesn't have active & fair leads posters aren't even from there or using real name half the time which is also a problem with sales items and "recommendations". This is multiplied with near neighborhoods. It really needs to have a true neighborhood only feed not just what is really a filter selecting posters from neighborhood while forcing you to verify how many neighborhoods or cities will see reply.

We have a private FB group that works better and better controlled to just include neighbors (fairly large neighborhood so don't need near neighborhoods of Nextdoor to get responses or entertaining drama). There is still drama which can be kind of funny at times especially when you know or know of a person involved or ones replying just to stir the pot, but it's our drama and usually more good comes out of it than bad being just our neighborhood. It is better for helping neighbors in need as most crap of Nextdoor is from people I have never met and also seems fake half the time. It also keeps their story or needs a little more internal.

Every old lady needs someone to do some type of work with the following criteria:

BE REASONABLY PRICED
Highly qualified
Several references
Licensed and insured
Dependable
Honest
White

Some crazy lady in south Baton Rouge started a post about fireworks and it was triggering vets with PTSD and dogs. Then some vets get on and say it OK, they are cool with it. So then she just doubles down on the dog issue. I think the thread ended with a bunch of folks posting “support Our Vets”, which in the end, is a good thing.

Unlike the OT, Nextdoor is not an intellectual mosh pit !

Which Winn Dixie?

How much do you spend on groceries that there is a $500 difference with maybe a 10% increase.

10% my arse.

I can shop Whole Foods, Fresh Market, or even high arse Publix and spend 50-100% more on what I can get at a couple food outlets close by or even Walmart Neighborhood Market.

Even Food City is a lot more expensive. I can get the sausage I like for $3.99 at Food City or $2.68 at the Neighborhood Market. Black Label bacon? 12 oz for 5.99 or 16 oz for $4.68.

It adds up quick.

I read a good bit of that one. I live in that area. The serial hugger post has about 150 comments

What a weird thing to melt over. The store before it was just as expensive yet not as nice. The olds just don’t like change.

I doubt I spend anywhere near $500 on groceries any month no matter where they came from, much less it being the difference from one to the other.
