I am on the nextdoor app and there were a couple threads about chickens in it. Some of the people live near me that replied and they were starting bashing the poor girl who posted.... I can tell you it wasn't nice and then became a political talk about why farm animals are in the suburbs and how it should be outlawed. It became very daunting to know people near me just bash chickens and honestly was scared to reply and defend chickens.
Oh man! You can't bother with what Nextdoor people say! You know it's the vocal and the cranky who rave on there, right?
I've lived in my neighborhood for 15 years and I've always thought it was a lovely congenial place to be. ...until I signed on to Nextdoor and then it seemed like we were a hotbed of alt-Right Trump supporters and arms-toting self-appointed George Zimmerman-style vigilantes. All the decent people stopped posting and one lovely woman who began to fear for her mixed race college student son actually moved to Moorpark before he came home for Thanksgiving and was accused of being an unfamiliar Black man stalking the neighborhood.
