    And they’re BLACK!

    Lived in a couple of Mississippi and Louisiana towns while using Nextdoor. I would see multiple posts about black people just walking down the street. Literally doing nothing other than walking from one place to another - “Suspicious people on the street!”

        I had an Indian friend growing up in the UK and I was like 5 years old. We would hold hands when talking. Then this older kid came by and said, “only gay people do that”.

        Then we never did it again. I spent years revisiting that thought. The first ten years or so wondered why I did something so “gay” and denying that I really intended to do it. The next few years when I thought about it, I’m like, I did it but it’s fine, who cares why.

        Wasn’t until I saw this video that it’s likely my Indian friend that did initiated it and there’s nothing objectively wrong with what happened. Damn. I’m like forty.

    Nextdoor is the absolute worst. I’ve spent years trying to delete my account and unsubscribe from their emails and somehow the account is still there and I still get multiple emails a day about a neighborhood I don’t even live in anymore.

      Yeah it’s crazy how many times I have unsubscribed and still get shit.

      I had a feeling something was off when I first signed up to check it out, wish I hat trusted my gut.

      Report spam on everything they send you.

      The more people do this the harder it is for them to send out emails.
