I went to sign up for Nextdoor and it wanted full access to all my contacts in my phone. I looked on their site and that is so they can invite friends from my contacts. I didn't sign up, maybe i will later, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I have the iphone app and it didn't require this permission or maybe it asked and I denied it. Is that not possible in android?

I just checked my app, it had no permissions.
I wouldn't allow it to do so, so I assume it asked, I said no, and we moved on.
There seems to be four things on here: - an avon lady over agressively spamming her stuff (blocked) - people asking for small job recommendations (who should I get to fix my garden gate, babysitter, tv ariel fitting) - some notices about local events (when / where fireworks, Remembrence, carolling) - group commiseration that one time some group was speeding all over town at midnight running red lights and keeping us up with their skidding and revving.
Honestly pretty good. I see it maybe once a week.
