one surprising thing that has been heartening to see lately is NextDoor's extremely powerful narc energy turning almost exclusively on ICE agents. love that my neighbors are finally using their weird paranoid scold abilities for good.

There is no thing as a Karen, just adults with unthreated mental illnesses and horrific panic disorders (Those gens were allergic to go to therapy), but those people aren´t usually evil, so It´s not surprising that if they see an horrible crime like a kidnap, they gonna report.
Nice. Mine are still mostly just bitching about shitty cell phone/internet service, their cats getting out and local small business drama. And coyote sightings, apparently.
Totally agree. I have thought of it as a sort of paradigm shift … the radicalization of NextDoor feels significant! And it’s not just reporting on ICE - it’s also offering to run errands for neighbors who don’t feel safe in certain places right now. Heartening.
My running joke in SoCal is that NextDoor is basically Coyotes and Karens (so sorry if that is a bad term now, I can’t tell any more), like a coyote is in the neighborhood or “I saw a (person not like me) on my lawn”. But this is so heartening. Happy to hear it.
same - at this point I'm getting daily updates tracking the "ICE holes," and almost everyone is supportive. the ones who aren't usually get their asses handed to them. it rules

I never look at that nextdoor hellscape. When I did see it, it seemed to be a place for old people who are too racist for Facebook.
