📈 #NXDR Closes at $2.24 Today — Up ~3.5% From Yesterday’s Close
$NXDR: #Nextdoor Holdings stock finished today at $2.24, marking a ~3.5% gain from yesterday’s close — a modest uptick in the wake of recent volatility. StockAnalysis
So what’s driving this? The most likely catalyst remains lingering sentiment and retail interest tied to recent bullish commentary from activist investor Eric Jackson, who has been positioning #NXDR as an undervalued “Agentic-AI platform” and drawing comparisons to past meme rallies. That broader narrative has kept trading volume elevated and sentiment choppy — even if fundamentals haven’t materially changed. #Nasdaq+1
But here’s the reality investors should be focused on:
🔹 This move is not grounded in clear operational turnaround or sustained growth acceleration. #Nextdoor continues to struggle with profitability and execution of its core social network monetization — a challenge that preceded this recent run. #Nasdaq
🔹 Leadership execution matters, and that’s where the disconnect lies. Under founder & CEO Nirav Tolia, the company has yet to deliver on a compelling, scalable strategy that translates into consistent financial performance. While enthusiastic bullish narratives can drive short-term price swings, they shouldn’t replace disciplined evaluation of business results and execution discipline. #SimplyWallSt
🔹 Investors should look beyond price noise. A stock moving on meme-style momentum or thesis posts — rather than fundamentals — is a reminder to weigh leadership accountability and strategic clarity when assessing long-term value.
Bottom line: A +3.5% close doesn’t change the underlying story. Leadership execution — not sentiment shifts — will determine whether #NXDR can evolve into a sustainable growth company or remain a speculative play.

Inside #Nextdoor HQ: “To Comment or Not to Comment”
Nirav Tolia (CEO):
“Team, quick question. #Meta, #X, and #Amazon all allow comments on their LinkedIn posts. Why?”
Head of Comms:
“Because they believe engagement builds trust?”
CMO:
“And because customers, advertisers, and investors expect a voice.”
Nirav:
“Interesting theory. Counterpoint: silence.”
CFO:
“But sir, those are trillion-dollar companies. They still allow criticism, dialogue—”
Nirav:
“Yes, and look how risky that sounds.”
Intern:
“Isn’t #Nextdoor literally founded on neighbors talking to each other?”
(Room goes quiet)
Nirav:
“Let’s not bring history into this.”
Clown (Bubbles, new hire):
“Honk-honk! Even the circus lets the audience react!”
Head of Comms (nervously):
“Sir, our mission statement says ‘connection.’ Turning off comments might look… contrary.”
Nirav:
“Connection is a feeling. Comments are optional.”
CTO:
“So the plan is… no discussion?”
Nirav:
“Correct. We’ll post about trust, community, and transparency—quietly.”
Intern (whispering):
“Like a neighborhood block party where everyone’s told not to speak?”
Clown:
“Honk… that’s called a library.”
Nirav (standing up):
“Meeting adjourned. And remember—if #Meta, #X, and #Amazon jump off a bridge, we don’t follow them. We turn off the comments.”
When Neighbors Step Up — and Platforms Step Back
I read about a story of a local contractor providing free holiday repairs to neighbors in need. No algorithms. No PR spin. Just people helping people.
👉 https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/business/local-business/local-contractor-seeks-help-to-meet-demand-for-free-holiday-repairs/
This is what real community looks like.
This contrasts with #Nextdoor, which is increasingly hard to ignore.
Nextdoor routinely highlights feel-good stories about neighbors helping neighbors — yet, in practice:
- Engagement is restricted or shut off entirely on LinkedIn posts
- Comments are deleted instead of addressed
- Shareholders, users, and advertisers are blocked rather than engaged
- Leadership goes silent when tough questions are asked
What’s even more striking is that #Amazon, #Meta, and #X all allow open interaction on their LinkedIn pages — questions, criticism, dialogue included. These are global tech companies operating at a massive scale, and they still understand the value of hearing from their audience.
So the question becomes unavoidable:
Why doesn’t #Nextdoor?
Decisions like disabling comments and avoiding dialogue ultimately rest with the CEO. Under Nirav Tolia’s leadership, this approach has continued — despite being directly at odds with the company’s stated mission of connection, trust, and community.
And where is the communications guidance here? How does a communications team not advise that shutting down public dialogue is a long-term credibility risk — especially for a platform whose brand is community?
The neighbors in this article didn’t wait for permission to help. They didn’t curate the conversation. They didn’t silence questions. They showed up.
That’s the standard #Nextdoor should be held to — not the stories it promotes, but the behavior it practices.

#NXDR Down Day-Over-Day — Questions a Shareholder Is Asking
I added 35 more shares of #NXDR, bringing my total ownership to 128 shares. Yesterday, the stock closed at $2.16, down from its previous day's close.
As a shareholder, I’m asking some reasonable questions about why the stock may be under pressure — and what leadership behavior signals to the market.
A few observations worth discussing:
• Engagement paradox: While #Nextdoor publishes feel-good articles, events, and community-centric stories, the company continues to disable or limit comments on its own LinkedIn posts. That disconnect between message and action matters to investors evaluating trust and authenticity.
• Leadership accessibility: I’ve raised questions publicly and transparently as a shareholder, yet Nirav Tolia continues to block engagement on LinkedIn rather than address concerns. Blocking a shareholder from dialogue isn’t illegal — but it does raise questions about governance culture and openness.
• Narrative vs. reality: #Nextdoor regularly promotes neighbor connection, transparency, and community dialogue. Yet historically, we’ve seen comment suppression, moderation opacity, and limited accountability. Markets tend to discount companies when the brand narrative diverges from operational reality.
• Market sentiment: Stocks don’t move only on fundamentals — they move on confidence. When leadership appears to avoid scrutiny instead of engaging it, sentiment can shift quickly.
I’m not posting this as an adversary. I’m posting this as an invested owner who wants the company to succeed — financially, culturally, and reputationally.
Transparency, engagement, and accountability aren’t risks to a platform built on community. They are the value proposition.
The question for 2025 and beyond is simple:
Will #Nextdoor align its actions with its mission — or continue sending mixed signals to users, advertisers, and shareholders alike?

When Tech Giants Invite Conversation — and One Platform Shuts It Down
I took a step back and did something simple:
I reviewed how #Meta, #X, and #Amazon use their official LinkedIn pages.
Different businesses. Different models. Same conclusion.
✅ They allow comments.
✅ They allow public engagement.
✅ They allow customers, advertisers, investors, and critics to speak.
These companies understand something fundamental: you don’t build trust by muting the audience. You make it by listening — even when the feedback is uncomfortable.
Now compare that to #Nextdoor.
#Nextdoor’s mission centers on connection, neighborhood dialogue, and community trust. Yet on LinkedIn — one of the most visible public-facing platforms — comments are routinely disabled, selectively removed, or discouraged altogether.
That raises fundamental questions:
- How can a company succeed without the voice of the customer?
- How can advertisers trust reach and engagement metrics when dialogue is suppressed?
- How can shareholders assess leadership when questions are blocked instead of answered?
Ultimately, these are executive decisions.
And those decisions rest with the CEO, Nirav Tolia.
From a market perspective, the contrast is also telling:
#Meta, #X, and #Amazon operate at massive scale, with clear market caps, transparent engagement, and open feedback loops.
#Nextdoor (#NXDR), by comparison, operates with a far smaller market cap and a large number of outstanding shares — meaning trust, engagement, and credibility matter even more, not less.
You don’t grow a platform by insulating leadership from reality. You develop it by facing the conversation head-on.
If the world’s largest tech companies can handle public dialogue on LinkedIn, the question becomes:
Why can’t #Nextdoor?

A Rental Surprise: 2025 Toyota Camry LE 🚗
After finally arriving at the HPN Airport, I picked up a 2025 Toyota Camry LE rental and took it out for some real-world driving. On paper, it checks all the right boxes—but driving it raised a few… interesting questions.
Some things stood out right away. Others took a little longer to notice. Not everything is evident in the first few miles.
I share my full, unfiltered thoughts in the video.

Ten Hours to Get to Charlotte ✈️🥞
What should have been a routine trip turned into a 10-hour journey just to reach Charlotte. Delays, waiting, more waiting—and plenty of time to people-watch and rethink travel plans.
And don’t even get me started on airport food. Let’s just say two pancakes and a Diet Pepsi at HPN came with a price tag that deserves its own story. Teaser: it wasn’t cheap.

When the Megaphone Is Loud—but the Room Is Silent
Congratulations to Kelsey Grady on being recognized as a finalist for #PRWeek’s Outstanding CCO Award and as part of PR Daily’s Top Women in Communications Class of 2026. Industry recognition is no small achievement.
That said, this announcement highlights a growing contradiction that’s hard to ignore.
#Nextdoor celebrates telling stories about neighbors helping neighbors and communities coming together—yet public engagement is routinely shut down. Comments are disabled, questions are removed, and dialogue is avoided. A communications team can amplify a message, but if the audience isn’t allowed to respond, is that communication—or just broadcasting?
Analogy:
This feels like awarding a lifeguard for excellence while the pool is closed and swimmers are locked outside, asking why they can’t get in. The whistle is polished. The chair is high. But no one is allowed in the water.
I’m trying to reconcile how congratulations are being handed out to Nirav Tolia while three obvious realities exist:
1️⃣ Comments are being turned off on LinkedIn, removing the ability for the public to engage with #Nextdoor’s messaging.
2️⃣ Critics and shareholders are being blocked, rather than engaged, when they ask reasonable questions.
3️⃣ Hard conversations are avoided, while awards celebrate “telling the stories that matter.”
A community connection can't credibly be championed while simultaneously shutting down dialogue. Transparency can't be promoted while silencing feedback. Trust isn't built by controlling the narrative instead of participating in it.
Recognition should reflect reality — not just messaging. Leadership isn’t about applause. It’s about accountability when the room gets uncomfortable.
Awards for storytelling ring hollow when the very people the story is about—neighbors, users, communities—are prevented from participating in the conversation. Excellent communication isn’t just about shaping the narrative; it’s about engaging with reality, especially when it’s uncomfortable.
If #Nextdoor’s mission is truly about connection, then credibility comes not from accolades, but from openness, accountability, and two-way dialogue.
Until then, recognition like this raises a fair question: for whom is the story really being told?

Knowing When to Step Away
After thoughtful reflection, I decided to resign from a volunteer board.
This wasn’t an easy choice. I care deeply about the mission and the people it serves. However, differences in values, an approach, and how impact is measured made it clear that alignment was not there.
Volunteering should be rooted in a shared vision. When that element isn’t in alignment, stepping aside can be the most honest and respectful path forward—for everyone involved.
Growth sometimes means closing one chapter so another can begin.
See my full thoughts on Videos, then Other.
What Neighbors Want in 2026 — and What #Nextdoor Is Actually Delivering
#Nextdoor’s latest blog, “What Neighbors Want in 2026: Resolutions, Spending Shifts, and Community Connection,” paints a hopeful picture of neighbors seeking trust, engagement, and meaningful local connection. It’s a compelling vision — and one I agree with.
However, there’s a growing gap between what #Nextdoor claims neighbors want and how the platform actually operates.
In practice, I’ve seen:
- Comments turned off on public posts, limiting dialogue
- Legitimate questions were removed instead of being addressed
- Suspended users counted in “neighbor” metrics
- Unpaid, anonymous moderation without clear accountability
- Leadership is silent when transparency and discussion are requested
That’s not community connection — that’s controlled messaging.
What I’ve asked for is consistent and straightforward:
- Open engagement on public posts
- Clear, accountable moderation standards
- Honest metrics for advertisers and shareholders
- Leadership is willing to have honest conversations, even when they’re uncomfortable
If 2026 is truly about rebuilding trust and strengthening neighborhoods, then #Nextdoor must start by living its mission, not just marketing it.
So I’ll ask again:
What does 2026 actually look like for Nextdoor — more dialogue, or more silence?
@NiravTolia — neighbors, users, advertisers, and shareholders are watching.

🔮 This Week at Nextdoor: Mission vs. Reality
🔮 This Week at #Nextdoor: Mission vs. Reality
Based on recent patterns, here’s what I expect to see from #Nextdoor this week—despite a mission statement centered on connection, trust, and neighborly engagement:
- More polished storytelling about community and belonging
- Less actual dialogue—comments limited, deleted, or turned off
- No direct engagement with users or shareholders asking hard questions
- Silence from leadership, followed by a carefully controlled appearance or podcast reinforcing values not reflected in practice
On the market side, it raises fair questions:
Does #NXDR continue to swing on narrative and sentiment rather than fundamentals?
Will volatility persist until transparency and execution catch up with messaging?
And then there’s leadership. Will Nirav Tolia step into open discussion—or continue the pattern of curated visibility while avoiding direct accountability?
I hope I’m wrong. I’d welcome a week where:
- Engagement is encouraged, not restricted
- Questions are answered, not erased
- The mission is lived, not just marketed
Because trust isn’t built by controlling the conversation, it’s built by participating in it.

Quiet Cabin… Not So Quiet ✈️
Somewhere between boarding and takeoff, the American Airlines quiet cabin policy became optional. Multiple people are watching and listening to their devices without headphones. Awkward.
A guy finally said something—out loud—and now the tension is thick. I have a feeling a viral TikTok is about to be made, whether anyone planned on it or not.
And apparently, I can’t escape competing noises anywhere — dialysis, home, and now the airplane. Different locations, same soundtrack.

When Values Signal the End of a Chapter
Serving as a volunteer board member for a fraternity education and scholarship foundation has been meaningful because I believe in the mission and the impact it can have.
I was asked to help with a podcast initiative to elevate alumni voices—something I supported because I believe in results, not busywork. However, a focus on micromanaging tasks over outcomes, have made alignment difficult.
I believe in my values. And staying true to them sometimes means recognizing when a chapter may be coming to an end.
Service works best when trust, clarity, and purpose are shared.

Trying to Get Home from HPN ✈️
What should have been a simple trip home from HPN (Westchester County Airport) turned into one of those classic travel days—delays, waiting, and a lot of patience. Airports have a way of reminding you that plans are just suggestions.

📉 #NXDR Rally Fades — What’s Really Going On?
After a multi-day surge driven by speculative sentiment, activist investor commentary, and AI hype, #Nextdoor (#NXDR) closed sharply lower today at around $2.37 per share—nearly 15% below recent highs. FinancialContent
+1
That’s a $0.41 drop from the recent peak, and a reminder that volatile stocks move both ways.
So why is the stock down so much so quickly? A few key factors likely played a role:
📉 Profit-taking after a big rally — Several analysts and news reports note that after a significant run-up, investors took profits, driving price pressure lower. Barchart.com
🤝 Speculative spike vs fundamentals — Much of the recent uptick happened after an influential investor publicly called #NXDR “the most mispriced Agentic-AI platform,” sparking a meme-like rally. But when sentiment fades, prices can retreat just as fast. Business Insider
👀 Mixed execution signals — #Nextdoor’s user engagement and monetization metrics remain uncertain. The company’s fundamentals, including user growth and revenue execution, continue to lag broader platform expectations — making #NXDR a high-volatility stock. Simply Wall St
This swift pullback underscores a broader reality: trading sentiment and narrative can fuel short-term swings, but sustainable long-term performance depends on execution, transparency, and real business traction.
Investors in high-beta names like #NXDR should expect this kind of volatility — especially when market narratives shift faster than operational results. As always, it’s worth asking: is today’s price action a brief correction… or a signal that the story driving the rally needs deeper scrutiny?

Not Trolling, Just Asking Questions: Why Dialogue Matters in Leadership
Some people may read my recent posts and assume I’m trolling. I’m not.
My goal was always dialogue. From the beginning, I asked questions. I provided feedback. I made suggestions — all in good faith and with the intent of helping the platform improve.
What changed wasn’t my approach. What changed were the decisions made by #Nextdoor leadership — decisions that stop with Nirav Tolia, the CEO. Comments were turned off on posts. Conversations were shut down. His LinkedIn profile was hidden from me. And yet, podcasts are produced preaching transparency, accountability, and “no place to hide,” while the actual actions move in the opposite direction.
If allowed an in-person dialogue, I would back down immediately. Not because I lack conviction, but because escalation isn’t my goal. Things can happen when emotions run hot, and that’s not what I’m here for.
If Nirav or any senior leader at #Nextdoor chooses to open a conversation, I will show up passionate, direct, and constructive — with clear feedback, practical suggestions, and a vision for how the platform can better serve users, advertisers, and investors.
I’m a shareholder. I want #Nextdoor to succeed. I’m not hiding behind anonymity, blocked profiles, or curated narratives.
I’m here.
Why isn’t Nirav?

Here’s the Real Reason #NXDR Is Up — And How Much I’ve Gained
As of today, #Nextdoor Holdings (#NXDR) is trading at $2.76 per share. That’s a +10% jump today alone and a massive climb from where it was trading just days/weeks ago.
Let’s talk numbers:
📈 Personal investment gain
First bought shares at $1.76.
Today’s price: $2.76.
That’s a $1.00 gain per share, or:
⭐ +56.8% return
(Yes, in days, not months or years.)
I purchased 40 shares initially:
My original cost: $70.40
Current value: $110.40
Profit so far: +$40.00
I later added 36 shares at similar pricing; your blended return is still in the 50–60% gain range, depending on exact entry points.
So my return is real — and significant. But why did the stock rise so fast?
Actual Causes of the Sharp #NXDR Spike
Here’s what’s driving the surge — not guesses, but documented catalysts:
🔹 1. Hedge fund hype: Eric Jackson effect - A well-known tech investor, Eric Jackson (EMJ Capital), publicly declared #NXDR the “next undervalued AI social platform” and compared its setup to Opendoor’s meme stock rise. This alone triggered retail investor FOMO and a meme-style rally.
🔹 2. AI narrative speculation — Analysts and meme traders alike see the words “AI + community data” and overreact, sending volume soaring. High buying volume = rapid price increases.
🔹 3. Low share price = meme stock conditions - When a stock trades under $3 with 390M shares outstanding, even medium buying pressure creates rapid spikes.
🔹 4. Retail sentiment + short-term momentum - News outlets have legitimately referred to #NXDR as a “meme stock sensation.” And meme stocks move fast.
Hypotheticals I raised — which may also be influencing sentiment.
While the rally isn’t directly caused by my posts, these could be contributing factors:
🟦 1. Increased shareholder activism visibility - I've been posting publicly as a shareholder, challenging:
- Leadership behavior,
- Transparency issues,
- Moderator accountability,
- Advertiser trust problems,
- Misuse of “engagement metrics.”
This kind of activism can attract more attention to a stock — especially when the company is small and volatile.
🟦 2. My posts caused other people to buy shares - I’ve stated publicly that others purchased #NXDR because of your activism. Any buying activity in a low-priced stock can contribute to upward pressure.
🟦 3. A perceived “turnaround narrative” - Investors might be thinking: “If shareholders are demanding accountability, maybe turnaround pressure will improve the company.” Market psychology can amplify even minor triggers.
🟦 4. Short sellers may be backing off - If traders think retail is piling in, they close short positions, which spikes the stock further.
So why is #NXDR suddenly skyrocketing?
✔ Influential investor hype
✔ Meme stock conditions
✔ Retail sentiment
✔ Technical breakout
✔ Speculative AI narrative
✔ And yes… growing public scrutiny and activism
