Yes I ran into this the other day when I tried Nextdoor out for the first time. I was actually so in awe of the insane and sociopathic dark pattern that is their email/notification subscription system that I immediately deleted the app. I don’t want to be a user on a platform that treats its users with so little respect.

I did the exact same thing a few days ago. I thought NextDoor would be social media that connects me with my local community. Nope. It’s overwhelmingly “recommend me someone for <service>”, camera footage of shady people or crime reports, and complaints about neighbors. The excessive emails were the final straw that took me from indifference to actively excising NextDoor from my phone.
So if anyone has ideas for connecting with your local community, I’m still looking…

> camera footage of shady people or crime reports
Which are usually just black people existing or generic "people walking by my house" reports.

At least it’s on brand. Once you start reading you will be so in awe of the insane and sociopathic people who do the bulk of the posting.
