Weekend Mode: OFF — Connection Can Wait Until Monday

It’s Sunday, January 18, 2026 — and we’re now on the third consecutive day of Nextdoor not engaging users, advertisers, investors, or the press. At this point, it looks less like an exception and more like culture:

wrap it up on Thursday, skate until Monday.

And this — quietly, consistently — is why the stock trades where it does. If engagement truly matters, here are a few weekend-capable ideas #NiravTolia could pass down to the team:

- Show, don’t sell:

I'd like you to please share tips and tricks featuring how an actual Nextdoor team member connects with their own neighbors. Or is “connection” something that’s only programmed, packaged, and pitched?

- Cast a real vision:

Write openly about the future of Nextdoor for the rest of 2026 and beyond. Or is it new boss, same as the old boss?

- Pull back the curtain on moderation:

How did unpaid moderators come to be? How does one get on the secret list? And, just asking — where does someone apply to be a cool-kid bully with anonymous authority?

Right now, silence is doing more storytelling than any blog post. I’m genuinely curious what next week brings — and which three fluff engagements will make the cut.

Because the connection doesn’t stop on weekends. Only companies do.
