It is exactly that. A lot of "saw a black guy walking down the street...should I call police?"

NextDoor used to be bad about that, but they are now much more careful to remove it quickly if anyone does post racist crap.
Now it seems to be 50% paid ads, 30% lost/found pets, 10% unpaid ads, and 10% everything else. Worth checking to find the owner of a stray dog or cat, but not much else.

I deleted the app a few years ago because it was a drag. Glad (and honestly surprised) to hear you say they remove the racist stuff quickly, and not surprised it's mostly ads these days.

The problem is people say the same thing without saying race. “Did anyone see this suspicious character?” with a picture from a doorbell cam of a black guy.
It’s still obviously racist to everyone but it’s not reportable or treated as such.
