HERE ARE THE FUCKING TOWELS
So many people babbling about gunshots, it never ends.
Listen, Mabel, I grew up in a rural area where guns were just another tool, and if you have to ask ‘was that a gunshot?’...it wasn’t. If it WAS a gunshot, you say HOLY poo poo WHERE DID THAT GUNSHOT COME FROM.
And just because a car drives down the street slowly doesn’t mean it’s burglars casing your house in order to steal your valuable collection of milk glass and commemorative plates, it’s usually a DoorDash or Uber or Amazon driver trying to read your lovely excuse for address numbers.

rant over. I uninstalled after about two weeks. All the lost pets made me sad as well.

I just created an account, logged in, saw that the primary topic was a small homeless camp in the area, and deactivated my account.

It was pretty much the boring liberal versus center right extra-whitebread crap I expected.

I lived in the same house for 5 years and heard gunshots exactly one time. However, nextdoor informed me that there are nightly gunshots in all directions and that the gangs are out of control.

Also, every house is apparently being "cased" by unsavory gangsters dozens of times per week. The sure sign is that someone rings your doorbell and then leaves when you don't answer. Alternatively, anyone selling any service or product door to door.

The Ring doorbells have been like crack for next-door. Unlimited blurry videos of people walking past houses, knocking on doors, driving by... Sketchy character! Watch out!

What were all of those sirens about?!

It's now a weekly occurrence in my neighborhood after drought and reduced traffic has brought them down from the hills. The worst part is the resulting comments where an alarming amount of people still leave their cats outside.

You don't even have to be homeless. I've seen posts hating on pedestrians. Like, people walking on the sidewalk.

"Guys, I saw this guy walking down my sidewalk at 10:30 PM last night. IS HE CASING THE JOINT?!?"

People are the same everyone. People move to a town that has one of the busiest cargo rail lines in the US cutting it in half along the length. Flagstaff AZ is 140 years old, still younger than the railroad going through it, people move there and complain about trains. It's impossible to miss the trains. About 100 1.5 mile long trains per day. You will hear trains during your day there.


I joined my local nextdoor in the Phoenix area so I could try to sell my car on it. Ended up finding a buyer who paid my full asking price after only two people flaked out after sending a message that was pretty much just "car still ffor sale" and never responding after I replied within the hour. I promptly turned off every notification possible afterward.

It was mostly just boring though. POLICE ALERT about something happening 40 miles away. "Need handyman to do major work, will only pay $25. I don't want ripped off!" For sale, old half broken garbage, priced at 98% MSRP. Coyote spotted! Then Missing Cat posts. (Keep your pets inside assholes!)

We’ve got a good one going right now where lady A is stalking lady B and taking pictures of her because lady B refuses to pick up her own dog’s poo poo.

Now lady B has called in a legion of “refuse to pick up dogshit” defenders and they have a lovely little post/report war going on which I am gleefully encouraging because I am a fantastic moderator.

Edit: I should also mention that Nextdoor encourages a bizarrely passive-aggressive moderation strategy where you confront bad posters with “suggestions” and “friendly reminders”.

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
I logged into it with an obv fake name to see if I might eventually sell jewelry on it or whatever and then I was poo poo posting at chuds bitching about the mask regs and one of them like reported me and I got banned 😆😆😆

need more lovely fake mexican food in SoCal

i wanna join that nextdoor to make this happen
Real Taco Time is so good, but a few years ago someone licensed the Taco Time name/logo/menu and opened some in the Southwest, and they are not the same. I was shocked to see a Taco Time when passing though Phoenix one time, but their food was terrible and clearly not made with the same recipes. I don't know if they're still around, but don't be fooled by these impostors.

Thanks, on my phone it looked ok. If you show up at my doorstep you have to bring coffee.

But why would I vote for sonic? Is more than one per county necessary?

uptown urban neighborhood here. its mostly:

- police helicopter is saying something
- homeless people being problems
- lost cats and coyote warning posts (these are related)
- complaining about loud motos and cars
- people complaining about people/places who are lax on COVID safety

its mostly useless. oh and theres the occasional broke brained person going on about 5G and poo poo.

We don't really have Next door here but the village Facebook group does the job. People are obsessed with people trying to steal thier horses. Especially the idea they would use "Gypsy braids" to mark which horses to steal. In a world where WhatsApp exists im not sure braiding horses manes would be the go to.

They have at least worked out you can't just call people gypsies and tend to go for 'non-local' or Irish to describe suspicious folk.

I'm in a blue county in blue Illinois (not Chicago), and we had a full-on WWG1WGA poster for a while, another deranged Trumper poster named "Bull" who liked to threaten apocalyptic violence on "liberals" (once again, blue county, blue Illinois), and a COVID denier named Piotr who Kramer'd onto any post about COVID/vaccines/masks, etc to spread bullshit.

All three of them appear to have been banned over time, or else just logged off on their own. I think it depends on who your neighborhood "Lead" is, and I think the Leads are just the first person to register your neighborhood. Got a relatively normal person as a Lead? Then at least you won't have flagrant racism and QAnon poo poo. But if your Lead is some flavor of chud? Yeah, the whole thing's probably hosed from day one.

This right here is the essence of Nextdoor no matter where you live and who your neighborhood Lead is.

But I learn, like, one useful thing from it every year, so I get the daily digest emails. And I use my mod powers to vote to remove any chud posts that get reported (most reported posts are just spam, mostly from realtors, MLM'ers, and "financial advisors.")
