I joined when I moved in 2015. One of my wife’s friends lived in the neighborhood and gave us an invite. Somehow I’ve been made a mod in the past year and I have no idea why - maybe because I never post? I mainly just vote whether or not to remove things based on how chuddy they are. Smugworth posted:Often people post pictures of "wolves" then get told they are coyotes in my neck of the woods We got a post of “BEWARE COYOTES” accompanied by a photo of some cool foxes. Otherwise my neighborhood Nextdoor is mostly just people looking for contractors willing to work for pocket lint and frozen shrimp.

AHH F/UGH posted:Where do you guys live where you have covid deniers and insane racists in your neighborhoods? 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. PirateDentist posted:"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!) 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.")

Zero One posted:Someone stole one of my trash cans. I don't know who because I didn't have 60 cameras on my property. meat police posted:people actually steal trash bins fwiw. and the trash folks require to take time out of your day to file a loving police report about a plastic bin before they give you another one. chock up another victim of the trash bin bandits Waste Management stole my trash can, they chucked it into the back of their garbage truck either on accident or to be dicks (I've witnessed them speeding up and slamming into cans a few times - just for fun). Then when I called they made me file a police report. Okay: "Hello, Mr. Police. Waste Management stole my garbage can and they won't give me another one until I have you file a report that says they stole it. Thanks!"

My toilet's been leaking for 20 years and destroying the drywall above my dining room to the point where it might collapse. Should I proactively research licensed and bonded plumbers in my area to get the most qualified person out to fix it? gently caress NO!!! I'm going to trawl Nextdoor for a plumber and emphasize they should be "GOOD." There's so many red flags here, that whoever takes her up on this deserves what they're in for.

Attempted Vehicle Theft I made a short shopping trip tonight at or local <grocery store>.. I park at the end of the parking lot.. my car is ‘new’ to me.. I lock it twice.. after a 15 min stop to grab a few things I came outside to my vehicle running!! I shut it off w the remote and the vehicle (black a Ford Ranger) parked 2 spots away left suddenly... I contacted the <city> Police who then told me to file a complaint w <redacted> County.. go down to the Police Station and do such. It seems they are apparently uninterested in the situation., so be it. I just wanted to let my neighbors know that this is happening here. We are close to the highway., easy targets.. please be careful and share here so we can inform each other what is happening here in our community. Take care and be safe everyone.

therobit posted:Someone at Nextdoor made the regrettable decision that I should be a mod for my area. Interestingly they actually seem to be heading in a better direction. They have a bunch of articles and training they want you to read about bias and discussing controversial topics. They have expressly banned “whit lives matter” and related content, and ban “blue lives matter” and “all lives matter” when they are being used to denigrate or take away from the Black Lives Matter movement for racial justice ( their wording). I am actually impressed that they care that much. Someone made me a mod and I never bothered reading poo poo.

He’s a goon, it will start with him offering to build her a computer “for free,” meaning just the cost of parts, which she doesn’t understand because she’s an old lady and doesn’t get how it went from “for free” to hundreds of dollars, and then it will end with him clogging her toilet and then making a giant mess in her bathroom when he tries to “fix” it, at which point she demands he leave before she calls the cops.

Every once in a while, someone on Nextdoor goes nuts because they find a mutilated rabbit or just a rabbit head in their yard and automatically assume it’s someone threatening them. We live in an area where there’s hawks, owls, foxes, coyotes, etc., but of course the most likely culprit is someone’s cat.

therobit posted:LOL not sure what a labor shortage in underpaid low-skill industries has to do with a shortage of refined gasoline but OK. Truck drivers. Go back to stories in 2018 about how the tax bill passed in Dec 2017 screwed them out of a bunch of deductions, to the point that some of them said they might quit. Then, when lockdowns started and demand for gas fell, a lot of them got furloughed or laid off. Now, as things start picking up, there’s not enough truck drivers trained to haul volatile fuel, and they take a relatively long time to train. Also, with the worker shortage, a lot of potential drivers are finding easier, better paying work elsewhere. CNN started having stories about the looming fuel truck driver shortage back in April, saying it’d really hit in July, and now it’s July.

Ralph Hurley posted:Soros is a made up person right? The way these loons carry on about him, he seems just the final boss in their never ending battle with completely imaginary enemies. He's a Hungarian Jewish person who came to America after WWII and became a billionaire hedge fund guy. He donates to Democratic politicians and causes, and during the W Bush years, said Bush's rise reminded him of Hitler. He funds Media Matters, which is basically an org that watches Fox News all day to report on what they're showing their audience to normies. It really doesn't haven't much impact. All this "help" is actually pretty anemic. Media Matters only seems to employe, like, three people at a time. If he had started up an honest-to-god Liberal/Left leaning news organization during the Bush years, or bought up a bunch of local newspapers instead of letting right-wing ghouls buy them all, it might be paying dividends by now, but If George Soros paid all the people that the Right claimed he did, he wouldn't be a billionaire any more.

"Electricity theft by A____ Roofing. A heads up to anyone living in the buildings who are having roofing done by this company, they likely have been using YOUR electricity. These guys have been using my outlets to run their tools for at least two days and not once was I asked permission for them to plug into my outlets. We contacted the company and after back and forth they agreed to reimburse us but I would HIGHLY advise others to do the same if they’ve done work on yours or will be doing work to prevent any issues." So far there are over 30 comments just dunking on her. Finally, in these divisive times, a post that you can unite everybody.

GokuGoesSSJ3 posted:Utility company, a realtor who might approach you to sell the property or was just appraising the neighborhood, a customer of a carpenter who was taking a picture of the porch to ask them replicate it, historical interest, a childhood home. Also appraisers. Private appraisers needing comps to prove a house in the neighborhood under contract is worth the selling price in order for the lender to approve the loan. Or local government appraisers deciding property values for your property taxes. Also insurance companies when you add/change to a new homeowners policy. There’s literally dozens of legit reasons for people to photograph houses, it’s just part of the lubricant of our society, but these sheltered morons act like it’s something to be alarmed about. People who don’t understand anything about how anything works. Then everything becomes a conspiracy.
