🎄 Festivus at #Nextdoor: An Airing of Grievances 🎄

Me (Niel):

“Attention everyone! I’ve erected an aluminum pole in the courtyard. No tinsel. This is serious.”

#Nextdoor Employee:

“Is… is that meatloaf?”

Me:

“Yes. A warm meal for the team—since #Nextdoor leadership won’t spring for catering.”

Employee (whispering):

“Bold.”

Me (clears throat):

“Let’s begin the Airing of Grievances. I’ve got a lot of problems with this platform, and now you’re going to hear about them!”

“Comments turned off. Feedback silenced. Unpaid Moderators with bias.

Community promised—conversation denied.”

(Enter @NiravTolia)

Nirav:

“Is this… Festivus?”

Me:

“It is. And now, the Feats of Strength.”

(We wrestle—metaphorically—over transparency, engagement, and accountability.)

Me (standing, triumphant):

“Engagement isn’t a threat. It’s the point.”

Me (raising the pole):

“A FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!”
