Oh, I wouldn?t be too concerned with those kind of people.

I tried Nextdoor for a week, and the signal to noise ratio was pretty much non-existent over here. Way too many SJWs, and mangy coyote and lost cat traffic.
The Ring Neighborhood app is just about as useless, probably because of the users being the same body of people.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

I know what you mean- but you learn quickly who the SJWs are. And now that there's something to focus their attention on besides coyotes (HOARDERS!!!!!!11111!!!) there's a lot of squawking. But there are also threads of people that need help, treads of people volunteering to help, and bits of information from various occupations. Sure, there's racket. But if you can sift and sort out the BS, there are good things you can find- local contractors, stuff for sale, and so on. Even barter.

When I checked the mail today, at our community mailbox, someone had left a goody bag on top of the mailbox. "Take what you need" it said.
Pretty darn special, no app required.

We know several large families (think 10 kids); they're usually pretty well stocked, but what we have done is put out the word that if any item is running low due to store limits, just let us know and if we can get extra, we will pass those along since the limits are frankly arbitrary in relation to need.
So for example if they are low on milk, and we are at a store that has a 2 milk limit, and we either don't need it, or only need 1, we would get 2 and shift the excess to them.

Optional Covid-19, you would hope.
I saw a few fresh oranges, and then other boxes/bags of stuff.

To be honest, this might make a late night snack for me, if nobody snatches it up.
I hate to have it stay out all night, and see the donator realize his donation was not used.
But hopefully, when I go out for my midnight snack, it will be gone.
