  • I just made a Nextdoor account a few weeks ago out of curiosity. Quickly regretting it. My neighbors are all the most paranoid fuckwits on the planet. Maybe if they weren’t such nosy busybodies they wouldn’t be so scared by things like black people existing in public or literally any unidentified substance they find being fentanyl.

    It’s not even the racist ones that disappoint me, I just kind of expect that from living in a community inhabited by mostly white middle class retirees, it’s like the ones that are so devoid of critical thinking skills that they jump to wild conclusions based on nothing, and apparently that’s just the way those people live their lives each day.

    Found a bit of roadkill? Someone must be torturing and murdering the neighborhood pets and put their bodies on display! Call the police!

    Found a one dollar bill tucked underneath your welcome mat? Someone must be casing your house and put that there to see if/when you collect it to know what times you are home! Call the police!

    et cetera, you get the idea. I wish this was hyperbole, but the two examples above are real.


  • It’s gotta be exhausting using a social media platform whose content is 100% politics all the time and its entire existence is in itself a political statement. Like, people complain about politics on Lemmy but at least you can sort of just ignore it and scroll past it. Yes, it’s invasive, but there are places where political discussion is pretty much verboten, especially the casual conversation areas.

    Meanwhile, I doubt there’s a single post on Truth Social that isn’t politics-adjacent somehow, or if it isn’t it quickly becomes one as people praise Trump for the good things happening in their life or curse Trump’s enemies when bad things happen to them. “Took a big shit today. Real satisfying. God Bless the USA and DJT.”. “Anybody notice how chip bags are mostly just air now? We should prosecute the democrats for this.”.

    Surprised anybody still uses the platform, tbh.
