Does Nextdoor actually have the local news? The other day I kept hearing sirens outside for hours. I hoped to find on Nextdoor what was going on but I mostly got lost-cat posts and people trying to sell stuff like handyman services. This is how it goes most times I check on Nextdoor. Maybe it depends on the area.

Nextdoor is terrible, agreed.

No, we want real news! With some editorial oversight.

Local reddits were good for a while, but the bots and human moderators make their own rules. It's not consistent.

A nice place to start could be with old-school weather reports, where we can learn something again. It's all so superficial these days.

Local events, local political issues with objectivity, history and future outlook, the list goes on and on. Maybe muzzle the negative talk with strict categories and guard rails to avoid another Nextdoor?
