      That platform seems designed for Karens. I signed up for that to try to offload some stuff I wanted to give away and JFC, I’ve never seen so many busybodies in my life.

      Just a constant stream of people bitching about what the kids are up to these days (seems like 90% of the content). I only stay because I may need to find plumbers, contractors, etc., and want to see who/what is recommended.

      But all the rest of the noise on there, holy shit. I’m not sure if there was ever a time when it wasn’t like that. I can remember a time when FB was not horrible, but maybe Nextdoor started in an enshittified state.

        Hey now it’s not just Karens, there’s also the racists, and sometimes a racist Karen. Seriously though, have you ever talked to your neighbors or tried being friendly. Like 10%-20% of them are awful and miserable, so that’s what you get when you build a product that lets you talk to your neighbors.
