101 Screenshots Of The Wildest Posts From This App Dedicated To Neighbors (New Pics)

Back in the day, neighbors had to communicate by knocking on each other’s doors or chatting over the fence. Nowadays, we have “NextDoor.” Globally, the platform has around 100 million users, and in the UK, one in four households says they’re on “NextDoor.”

Every neighborhood probably has its weirdo, and when there’s a platform for them to voice their complaintsyou can rest assured there’s going to be some top-tier comedy. Luckily, for the rest of us, an online community collects these types of posts and lets all of us “NextDoor” outsiders see the madness that is neighbor relations. Maybe you’ll consider joining such a neighboorhood just for the laughs after going through this list?

Forget WhatsApp or Facebook groups if you want to keep in touch with your neighbors and stay on top of the neighborhood goss. “NextDoor” is the next big thing for all the Flanderses out there who can’t wait to hit their neighbors with an “Okily dokily!”, some petty complaints, or a suspiciously prejudiced hot take.

In the U.S., 13% of all adultsuse “NextDoor,” which is about 220,000 neighborhoods all across America. In 2024, researchers from New York University and the University of Michigan studied “NextDoor” users andcompileda comprehensive portrait of “NextDoor” communities.

They found that “NextDoor” users are more often those who live in sparsely populated areas. These residents are also more likely to be white, wealthy, older, and more educated.

But what do people on “NextDoor” actually talk about? It’s not all nonsense and ridiculousness like what you see on this list. The researchers from the 2024 study found that there are three main topics that people usually post about on “NextDoor”:

  1. Posts offering or seeking services or goods,
  2. Posts about perceived suspicious persons,
  3. Lost pets,
  4. Transportation issues,
  5. Events,
  6. And pleasantries, such as wishing happy holidays or celebrating the current weather.

Posts about supposedly suspicious people are most likely to get the most engagement, and most of us can imagine why. They account for only 6% of all posts on “NextDoor,” but are the most worrying because they might encourage radicalized community surveillance.

Sometimes, law enforcement agencies are present in “NextDoor” communities. Again, it’s probably not surprising that this more often applies to non-white neighborhoods or communities where income inequality is greater. At the same time, they’re also present on “NextDoor” in neighborhoods where the residents have higher incomes and the real estate value is higher.

Sometimes, law enforcement agencies are present in “NextDoor” communities. Again, it’s probably not surprising that this more often applies to non-white neighborhoods or communities where income inequality is greater. At the same time, they’re also present on “NextDoor” in neighborhoods where the residents have higher incomes and the real estate value is higher.

A co-author of the paper, Megan A. Brown, says that it’s hard to explain why law enforcement is more present in non-white communities. “They could be there to better engage with the community, to facilitate surveillance by community members, or some combination of the two.” However, the researchers warn that it might drive neighborhoods towards racial profiling and vigilante surveillance, resulting in bias from law enforcement.

Although it sounds really scary, that might just be the nature of any social media platform. As researcher of anthropology Sydney Yeagerexplainedto the Baltimore Banner, most online spaces push us to extremes and groupthink. “We are invited to create divisions much more quickly and without thought, because again, there are no consequences for it and nuance requires more work than algorithms often allow.”

What is “NextDoor” doing about this? They have a kindness reminder feature that spots offensive language and encourages people to edit before they post. The app can also detect potentially inflammatory content. Users themselves can also report racism, misinformation, or problematic neighbor profiles to the Neighborhood Operations team.

But anthropologists shift the blame from the platform to the people who use it. Yes, the nature of “NextDoor” might drive us to be meaner, more prejudiced, and more radical, but that’s no excuse to act in problematic ways. “It’s not like people are going online and adopting completely new beliefs or behaviors,” another anthropologist Matt Artz, told the Baltimore Banner.

“They might be performing an aspect of their identity they may have to suppress offline,” Artz added. If the platform were to stop taking precautions, a community may express itself as it wishes. And an unchecked, self-regulating community like that might turn into something akin toLord of the Flies.

What is the key to being a good neighbor? According to the professor of communication at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Dawn O. Braithwaite, Ph.D., it’s civility. Shepositsthat most of us want similar things in life; we just disagree about how to achieve them. If we hear each other out without trying to be right, we might just understand other points of view.

Civility is the backbone of democracy, Brathwaite says. “For democracy to exist and thrive, multiple sides must respectfully articulate their positions, essentially putting concepts and proposals into the free marketplace of ideas.”

Do you think the neighbors from this list could learn some civility? Or is it ultimately not that deep and people just sometimes don’t think before posting? Let us know what you think in the comments, Pandas, and share your craziest encounters with neighboring Pandas.

Why Is This Guy Blocking My Driveway?

Screenshot of a social media post showing a car blocking a driveway, featured in wildest neighbor posts app.

I watched the video and read the comments, he is talking about the car legally parked across the street from his driveway. The car apparently belongs to one of the 2 houses across the street.

Some other boomers asked why that car couldn’t use their driveway and they were being rude and maybe OOP should “accidentally” back into it or slash the tires.

Most of the comments were making fun of the guy and telling him it’s legal.

Just to note, I think I know this street and it’s super wide, like 3 cars could easily drive side by side down it.

She Wanted To Share What Is Happening

Screenshot of a wild neighbor post complaining about false advertising at a McDonald's with outdated ice cream prices.

She stated in the comments that she asked the manager to honor the .99c price in the window but the manager refused.

To add, we are in a state where it is illegal to advertise one price in the window but charge the customer a different price.

I posted a comment with the law and suggested she take it all the way up to our states supreme court if she has to in order to get her .98c back!

  1. Наркологическая помощь на дому помогает избежать стресса, связанного с поездкой в клинику. Особенно это важно в случаях, когда пациент находится в состоянии тяжёлой интоксикации или переживает абстинентный синдром, который можно только усугубить дополнительной нагрузкой. Врач приедет в кратчайшие сроки, обеспечивая необходимое лечение в первые часы после ухудшения состояния. Также важно, что при выезде специалист гарантирует полную анонимность, что особенно важно для многих людей, которые боятся открыто признаться в своей проблеме. Профессиональная наркологическая помощь на дому позволяет избежать срыва и начать процесс восстановления без стресса.

  4. Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at quartoa added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.

  5. Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at yovinta continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.

  6. Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at sovique similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.

  7. Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at cottonmeadowoutpost also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.

  8. Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at riverharborgoodsstore produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.

  9. Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at timbercovegoodsstore added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.

  11. Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at orchardharborvault extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.
