Obsessed and Relentless — But It Raises a Bigger Question: When Did Nextdoor Stop Caring?
On Friday, March 13, 2026, I published a blog post outlining my continued observations and concerns about the direction of Nextdoor Holdings Inc. (NXDR).

Over the past several months, I’ve made it clear that I’m not going away quietly. As both a user and shareholder, I’ve continued to raise questions and share my dissatisfaction across multiple channels — LinkedIn, X, and my own site (https://NielFlamm.com).
If there’s one stolen phrase that captures my approach, it’s this:
Obsessed and Relentless.
The goal isn’t negativity. The goal is accountability and improvement for a platform that claims to connect neighbors.
Recently, something small caught my attention. On one LinkedIn post where I discussed concerns about the company — including the absence of a share buyback despite having cash on hand and no reported debt — the only response I received from someone associated with Nextdoor Service was a thumbs-up emoji. That reaction made me pause.
This raised a bigger question: When did Nextdoor stop caring?
Interestingly, that exact question is the title of an upcoming book from a leader I had the privilege of working with twice, Natalie Beckerman. More information about the book can be found here:

Perhaps #NiravTolia, NextDoor Service, and the broader organization might consider picking up a copy when it’s available.
Just a thought. Because platforms built around community should demonstrate one thing above all else:
That they care about the community they serve.
