Community Hours: Monday–Friday, 9–5 (Weekends Optional)

We’re now on the 2nd consecutive day without any engagement from users, advertisers, investors, or the press. Which leads me to conclude—based on the last 8 months of observation—that Nextdoor and #NiravTolia must operate under a clearly defined set of values:

- Engagement is a weekday-only activity

- Community connection clocks out on Friday

- Neighbors apparently go into airplane mode on weekends

- Advertisers pause campaigns until Monday

- Investors? Please hold, someone will be with you shortly

Consistency matters—and this has been remarkably consistent.

- No posts.

- No replies.

- No updates.

- No “we hear you.”

- No “here’s what we’re working on.”

Just silence… on schedule.

The irony, of course, is that this is a platform whose entire mission is built on connection. Yet connection seems to be treated like a part-time job with weekends off. Snark aside, here’s the factual part:

- Engagement gaps are visible

- Silence is measurable

- Trust erosion doesn’t take days off

- Markets, users, and small businesses don’t either

If this is the operating philosophy—connect when convenient—then at least let people know. Transparency goes a long way. Until then, we’ll mark the calendar. See you Monday, neighbors.
