This is Nextdoor, not my spiel.
No one chooses their neighbors anymore. They are landed on them.
They want to control your asses hard.
It helps to be a left liberal person of color to be a nextdoorknob.
Do not discriminate
I discriminate all the time, in all kinds of ways, the more the better.
You are in America, so forget about thoughtful respectful discussions.
This place rebelled against that shit in 1776.
Patrick Henry, give me liberty or give me death.
That is not about mutual respect. It is not about respect for a particular form of society, any form really. It is about disrespect. The broadsheet attack on authority, any authority.
It is not about thoughfulness, but rather about action for onesself and one's fellow rebels, and then about desperation, desperation, not thoughtfulness, not respect.
If it is that choice, every person here is on his own baby!

No racism, discrimination, or hate speech
People on Nextdoor are your real neighbors, and ALL should feel welcome. Racism and discrimination create an environment of exclusion, intimidation, and fear. No one should feel this way in any neighborhood, but it is particularly harmful if it is the neighborhood in which you live.
We have a strict policy against racism, discrimination, and hate speech of any kind. Before posting something that could be interpreted as racist or discriminatory, ask yourself:
- How would you feel if someone directed this statement at your child, parent, or significant other?
- Is this a statement or point of view that you would share at work, in your place of worship, or in a city meeting?
- Would you state your comment in person to the individual or group of people you are referring to?
Please pause to deeply consider how your words may affect your neighbor.
If you see a post or comment that you believe is discriminatory or racist in nature, please follow these steps to report it. If you see a post from a member whose behavior is repeatedly or egregiously discriminatory or racist, please follow these steps to report the individual.

Protected and marginalized groups include: People grouped together based on their actual or perceived race, color, ethnicity, immigration status, national origin, religion or faith, sex or gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition. It also includes people who are grouped together based on their housing or socio-economic status, age, weight or size, pregnancy or veteran status.
Our commitment to our members
Our Community Guidelines were established to ensure all people feel welcome on Nextdoor. We leverage a combination of technology and the human judgment of our members and the Nextdoor Neighborhood Operations team to report and remove content, behavior, and individuals that discriminate or generally make others feel unwelcome.
However, we will not always get this right. Sometimes, this process may fail to remove content that violates our Community Guidelines or it may erroneously remove content that belongs on Nextdoor. If you see either of these situations happening, please report this to us. We are committed to doing what is right and continuously learning, iterating, and improving along the way.
Permissible terms regarding novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
Since the beginning of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Nextdoor has urged members to follow the guidance of trusted public health officials around the world, including the World Health Organization (WHO).
In accordance with guidance from the WHO, we ask that members use the terms “coronavirus” and “COVID-19” when discussing the current pandemic. Messages that refer to the virus or disease in other ways, particularly in ways that may stigmatize or stereotype a group of people, are subject to removal.
As a community-building platform, we want all neighbors to feel welcome, safe, and respected when using Nextdoor. This is important in good times and absolutely essential in times of crisis and need.
We encourage members to have thoughtful, respectful discussions about coronavirus/COVID-19. However, stigmas and harmful stereotypes have no place on our platform. We must lead with our purpose now more than ever, to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighborhood to rely on.
Starting in 2015, media outlets have reported that Nextdoor users have been racially profiling people of color in neighborhoods across the United States.[34][5] In 2016, Nextdoor announced that users would be asked to submit identifying characteristics other than race when posting warnings about individuals or events in the neighborhood.[5]
Law enforcement officials in Oakland, California, who had generally embraced the forum as a means to connect with local residents, were wary of being seen as endorsing or associating with a website that enables racial profiling.[5] Nextdoor changed its user interface, saying the purpose was to make it harder for users to create race-based posts.[35] After the change, the Oakland Police Department said the changes made Nextdoor "more helpful" to the police department's work.[36] Co-founder Tolia claimed in a February 2017 interview with Wired that Nextdoor reduced racial profiling in its crime and safety reports by 75 percent through user interface changes.[37] A BuzzFeed News investigation indicated that racial profiling of people of color was still prevalent on Nextdoor as of May 2017, and that anti-discrimination measures previously announced by Nextdoor and proposed by Nextdoor's community members were incompletely implemented in Nextdoor's website and apps.[38]
The Atlantic discussed further concerns over hyperactive "crime and safety" sections of Seattle's private community pages on Nextdoor. According to The Atlantic, "Seattle Mayor Ed Murray derided an atmosphere of 'paranoid hysteria' he'd witnessed on the message boards of some of Seattle's more upscale neighborhoods."[39] The mayor told KUOW-FM, the local NPR affiliate, that Seattle's wealthiest areas are some of the most active communities on Nextdoor.[40] "The neighborhoods where most of the social-media complaints are coming out of are not even the neighborhoods that have significant crime problems, which tend to be our communities of color in the south part of the city. If it's simply about creating a sense of paranoia or if it's about stigmatizing folks in our city that are struggling, then I have to think about why we're in that kind of partnership."[39]
The Root documented several incidents in 2019 in which people of color and one transgender person were targeted by Nextdoor users with negative comments and "Spook Alerts" – racially charged accusations of criminal activity – when they were walking in their neighborhoods.[41]
In June 2020, The Verge reported that "Nextdoor has struggled to shed its reputation as a 'snitch' app, used by white and wealthy users to racially profile their neighbors and report them to the police", an issue that New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez termed the "Karen problem" in a rebuke of Nextdoor on Twitter.[6] During the George Floyd protests, many members of the National Leads Forum – a community of Nextdoor moderators – criticized Nextdoor's support of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and expressed a preference for All Lives Matter, a slogan that signifies opposition to BLM.[42] A number of Nextdoor users had their accounts suspended or their posts deleted by Nextdoor moderators after commenting in race-related discussions or mentioning BLM during the protests.[6][43] On June 11, Nextdoor explicitly instructed its moderators to allow discussions on the Movement for Black Lives, including BLM.[44] In a blog post, CEO Friar denounced "systemic racism in our nation" and pledged to provide its moderators with "resources and support".[7]
