Yeah, it&#x27;s terrible, but deactivating your account is exactly the wrong thing to do if you&#x27;re interested in fixing this sort of behavior.<p>Nextdoor doesn&#x27;t make people be shitty human beings, but it is a local forum that augments or replaces the sorts of venues that people used to be shitty in -- town hall meetings, HOA events, neighborhood watch, political rallies, etc.<p>Arguing with people on the internet is (heh) usually a waste of time. But pushing for decency and respect within your neighborhood is not a waste of time if you value strong communities.
