Feel-Good Headlines vs. Real Engagement — What Is #Nextdoor Really Hiding?

I saw #Nextdoor’s latest announcement about expanding Nextdoor Alerts with #USGS earthquake data and #Waze traffic integration.

That’s certainly a feel-good headline, but it raises an important question:

Why so many feel-good stories right now — and so little genuine engagement?

If #Nextdoor truly believed in neighbors helping neighbors and community connection, then authentic dialogue would be welcome — not disabled.

Here’s what’s still happening:

✔️ #Nextdoor posts are published without comments allowed on LinkedIn.

✔️ Hard questions — even from shareholders — go unanswered.

✔️ Engagement is curated instead of encouraged.

✔️ Leadership — including you, @NiravTolia — remains silent when direct feedback is offered.

So if “keeping neighbors informed” is this important, let’s put real communication front and center. Why not:

🔹 Allow comments on LinkedIn?

🔹 Engage with feedback instead of deleting it?

🔹 Open an honest dialogue with users, advertisers, shareholders, and critics?

Feeling good about integration announcements is one thing.

Doing good by your community is another.

@NiravTolia — If you genuinely want to serve all stakeholders, will you take a step toward transparency and engagement? Let’s talk.
