Hey, I like Trader Joes!
But, god, they really are very thin skinned on the Nextdoor app. And busy bodies. And EVERYONE'S suspicious.
@hrichts It has something to do with being a community and being able to trust your neighbors? Like if you know their name, they can't screw you over? *eyeroll*
You also are supposed to disclose your general location. Both are there for all to see and I don't think you can disable that.
How have I never heard of this app before?
Could I use it to borrow a cup of sugar from my neighbors without having to actually talk at them?
only if you want to be called a communist. That seems to be the number one come back in our area.
A friend got into a discussion about fireworks, she was told her dog is a communist because he is scared of fireworks
From what I hear it is definitely full of crazies! 4 -

If you ever wanted to know which of your neighbors is the bat*kitten* neighbor, Nextdoor is the place to find out.1 -
i've heard of the app but never really looked into it. on paper it sounds like itd be a great way to stay aware of things going on, but in practice it sounds like its just another facebook mommy group?
the only real question i'd have is- do they actually show the number of and names of active users in your area before you sign up and commit to giving your information to them?
if not then i'd assume its all just another data harvesting operation.
basically its a joke if you sign up thinking its a great idea, then you give them all your info, only to find out literally nobody around you uses it3 -

I know my neighbour's name and that he's a drug dealer. Yeah, no trust there.
I think the intent of the app is to share info about neighbourhood things like lost pets and giving away free stuff, or people who need help with home/yard maintenance. I ended up joining a few months ago and so far it's been fairly benign, not Facebookish at all, mostly info about break-in trends and a lot of angst about pinholes in water pipes (??). But it sure generates a lot of email notifications about "messages" from my neighbours so I might get rid of it.0 -

Not this one. That Nextdoor one. Because I didn't use my real name and this unhinged...uh...woman reported me because...I don't even know why. But she called me vile and disgusting.
I'm pretty insulted, actually. I've never been banned from anywhere on the internet before!
Never been banned anywhere, but I got some sort of demerit on this MFP app when I first started, for correcting somebody's spelling. So now I ignore all the misspelt words and grammatical gaffes so I don't get penalized for other people's illiteracy.2 -
I use Nextdoor all the time and I changed my last name so it's a variant of my real one because there are some crazy-a$$ed people on that site.1

jeez... I've been placed on double-secret probation more times than I can count.0 -
It is actually insane though, I’m not kidding about that. What is NextDoor anyway?
From what I've heard, NextDoor is sort of an online Neighbourhood Watch and social network program. Makes sense to know the real names of your neighbours if you're getting involved in a community effort like this.0 -

Terrible idea for a dating app, no wonder people don’t like it7 -

It's a very helpful website where you can post on neighborhood boards. It's good for nosy, busy-bodies or people who just want to know what's going on around the neighborhood.2 -

LOL it really is good for knowing what's going on around the neighborhood.
My problem with the name thing was I used my sarcastic, no way do I use my real name online name instead of a made up, sounds legit name.2 -

Best way to use a fake name imo2 -
I can't be on an app like that...I think I'd end up being labeled a Karen because all I would ever say is, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE, WERE YOU RAISED BY WOLVES?" I'd get banned prettyyyy quick.5

I always use: Benjamin Dover3 -
I definitely don't think I was a good fit (being sorta sociable wise).
Oh and that *kitten* chick also said I was a bully and that I've always said strange stuff and she didn't understand my pig latin. Not that I spoke pig latin. Just she...maybe didn't get my humor?
Example!
There was a thread about a woman coming home and finding a couple guys in the driveway...uh...going to the bathroom...and she was scared and (of course) suspicious. She took a pic of their car and them and everyone is "call the police" and "drive away" and I'm like, "It's not like they can hurt you. They have their hands full! Hopefully!)
