But location might make a difference. I live in a Red Hell

. . . . hate for our local Black Guy. EVERYTHING is his fault dontchaknow?

it's pretty benign. Very useful for finding local businesses, meeting new neighbors, catching up on local news, and finding lost pets.

...breakdown of civilization because of Biden and the Dems... excuse me..."Demoncrats".
And I live in a blue area in a blue state.
I believe the RWNJs have discovered that trolling works better than actual community involvement.
Problem is... the middle-of-the-road folks get fed a diet of nuttery by a tiny minority, and they come to believe it's majority.

at least in general... I was going to sign up just to sell some things locally, but that has given me pause.

As for disrespectful, it seems likely that they found his tweet disrespectful and not the fact that you posted it. It is, quite clearly, disrespectful.

To be honest, if I were them, I would have thought you might be promoting it since you didn't provide any commentary and you cut off comments. I think you might be looking at this from the wrong perspective, though I could be wrong.

I'm also not sure how or why it belongs on NextDoor in the first place. It's not exactly neighborhood fodder. Some hosts also delete most political content, unless it's about local candidates. If they left Biden's up, that's probably not the case here.

Nextdoor is just looking to harvest and package your information and data, then sell it to the highest bidder. If you must go there use a pseudonym and other fakery so at least whatever they steal is bogus.

BTW: Next-door is HQ'd at 420 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94102. Chances are they are not next door to you.

Source: I was asked to be a group moderator. Noped right on out of that situation.

The moderation's going to depend on the community. I know in my own, they don't allow any overt political messages/texts. Probably because my neighbors would be at each other's throats.

Instead they're a relatively happy crew of paranoiac lunatics from affluent suburbia. It's much better.

Our motto: EVERYTHING IS SUSPICIOUS!!!

That said, I think it’s important to occupy the public square, wherever that is.

As a moderator I am noticing most of the reports on Nextdoor of late have been self-generated by Nextdoor. And the text of the jackass text would be enough to generate such I imagine. If I were to have to sit judgement as to its disrespectful violation I would vote to remove.

Go figure.

I think it's me.
Other posts stay up.

As soon as the TFG stuff or anti dem stuff shows, I mute the person.

Most of my feed is lost pets and dog poop on lawns.

I call the site Next Grievance. Lots of trashing of local restaurants the slightest thing is off.

apprised of interesting happenings. I refuse to sign up for it.

Generally, it starts with gas prices (local) and then the Biden comments show up.

Posts about crime are very common and they always involve comments about the "soft on crime" mayor and DA etc. They don't get deleted.

There are lots of "my house is armed" posts. One group planned an armed posse to rescue a pit bull in an apartment. Crazy people.

I haven't been on for a few months.

I dropped / canceled out almost the very next day. You do not want to belong to this thing. No monitoring either, like we have on DU.

...his post is awfully offensive.

But, to either mods or a bot, the text of his tweet could be offensive to many.
If you posted it without comment, the offensive aspect is the post itself. Nothing on you.
That said, I'm not sure why you would forward the continued ravings of a crazy man, without comment, in the first place.

disappointed in so many hateful things I see people posting. That and the seemingly endless dog and cat posts?

I just don't get it, I guess. ☮

topic it turns to pro-MAGA bullshit. I only read it when it looks informative and then jump off.

Not much of general interest and most posts are of the lowest level conservative talking point repeats. But then there is nothing new in conservative politics, always leaning on divisive discourse for an audience.

There's one guy who is a Trumper and keeps getting suspended for posting race-baiting crap.

Have been lucky that I haven't seen that much rightwing crap. Did notice that someone recently posted that there's a lot of negativity on the site.

She has found me 2 pieces of oak furniture I wanted, one of which was a cabinet for my jillions of CDs.

I personally can’t stand the quantity of messages, so I left my membership in place but told them to send me a weekly summary, and I delete the summary. I figure if anything important comes up, my SIL will let me know and I can log on.

But mostly use it for local issues or help finding a service for house, restaurants just general stuff in the area. I have found very useful recommendations from next door app.

You’d think my suburban neighborhood was the inner city from all the posts about crime, homeless, foreigners and “dopers”.
I amused myself during the height of Covid by reporting the rabid anti-vaxx posters as “unneighborly”.

can be informative though often it seems to be arguing about dog poop, parking and crap like that. I've never posted on it, I just read it.
