@Ford ST - Yeah you just proved that you didn't leave NextDoor, NextDoor left you.
Just saw this edit. I don't know the reference. Take from a person "of color", that is a myth. ND as a whole isn't destructive to people "of color" at all. Please do not believe people who say that. I'll grant the point that there are neighborhoods that aren't moderated well. Rather than a reflection of the platform, it may merely be a (poor) reflection of that neighborhood. Trolls have ruined many a forum. ND is a little different in that it's actually a conglomeration of many sub-forums. It is up to those members to appeal to moderators beyond their neighborhood.
