    I just signed up for my local Nextdoor; holy crap, it’s 75% commercial ads, about 10% personal ads, about 10% dogs/cats/kittens, and 5% misc. Utterly useless.

      And let’s not forget the racist curtain-twitchers. “I saw a brown person walking down the street near my house this morning. Should I report it?”

      But I hate Nextdoor even more because I don’t see any reason to put my real name and address into any social-media app.

        Exactly—i used my initials and throwaway email and refused to give my phone number, so I can read but not participate. Which is fine.
