Though local BBS’s were a much friendlier place because it was mostly people in your town you could end up meeting in person. Didn’t harden you like Internet forums. For me it was IRC that got me accustomed to the craziness of the internet.
That must be the idea behind Next Door. Unfortunately, in my neighborhood the bigots are loud and proud and deem anything other than reports of lost dogs “political” (unless it’s pro-Trump). They are fascists through and through.
