The Nextdoor app, a localized social media platform launched in 2011, describes itself this way:
“It’s where communities come together to greet newcomers, exchange recommendations, and read the latest local news. Where neighbors support local businesses and get updates from public agencies. Where neighbors borrow tools and sell couches. It’s how to get the most out of everything nearby.”
The screenshots, however? They tell very different stories, as this enterprising Twitter account proves.
Get ready to keep up with the Joneses.
