Day 46: Welcome to the Nextdoor Weekend

It's 6:00 a.m. EDT on a Thursday.

Like many Thursday mornings, I was up early checking my fraternity's lottery pool tickets.

Spoiler alert...

We didn't win millions.

I know. Shocking.

The odds continue to be very disrespectful toward our group.

After posting the results and setting up the next pool on Discord, I had another thought.

I said to myself...

"Self, let's see if anyone from Nextdoor finally sent an email."

So I checked.

And...

Nope.

Still nothing.

If you've been following this journey, you already know the story.

If you haven't, you can catch up at NielFlamm.com/blog.

Today isn't about rehashing the timeline.

It's about what Day 46 represents.

Forty-six days without receiving the study I requested.

Forty-six days without a response from Jacob Chavis.

Forty-six days of documenting my experience and asking questions about communication, moderation, and corporate culture.

Today is Thursday.

For many people, it's Friday Eve.

I've always called it "Pre-Friday."

But in the world of Nextdoor...

It also feels like the beginning of the weekend.

Because when you've gone 46 days without a reply, one more business day probably isn't changing the outcome.

That doesn't mean I'll stop asking.

Communication shouldn't take weekends off.

Neither should accountability.

I'll keep hope that one day, someone at Nextdoor decides the conversation is worth having.
