When I still lived in Somerville I found the Nextdoor community lovely. I signed up for my new neighborhood when I moved to Dorchester, and oh man do these white gentrifiers not appreciate the black folk they are displacing, nor the local homeless. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the group has not managed to keep people of color as active participants for very long. Perhaps surprisingly, I still keep telling people to cut this crap out as if it's actually going to do a damned thing.

... also there was a ginormous rant the other day about: these people who keep releasing these stray cats back into the same place they were found after fixing them, why don't they put out liter boxes I am so sick of all this cat poop in my garden if they really cared about animals they'd be tending to all their needs. That was a real gem.
