    people will be truthful about their location.

    Nextdoor is bullshit. They will ban people without any sort of warning, notification, or justification.

    I had a conversation and called someone out for lying. Next thing I know, I'm banned.

    OK, there's a litle more to it than that, but what I said/did no way justified any sort of ban. They're a lore unto themselves, obviously with no oversight
    or anyone to protect the rights of people who are unfairly removeed.

    Run, don't walk, away unless you like to tiptoe around on eggshells.

    Maybe the service has a mechnism that allows users to block
    other users? Telegram has something like that.

    Meanwhile, since nextdoor is local community place, did you or
    the other person know each other in person?

    So.. are you using it?

    I signed up on it when it first made it's way here, but have not logged onto it in a long time.

    I don't recall registering to be all that invasive down here. No more so than registering to most BBS'.
