Leadership Silence Speaks Volumes on Presidents’ Day

On Presidents’ Day, we didn’t hear a word from the CEO of Nextdoor, #NiravTolia.

What we did hear today—twice—was from the communications team:

Tomorrow: Nextdoor’s Q4 and Full-Year 2025 earnings call. Last chance to submit your questions — DM us by 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT today. Tune in tomorrow at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT at investors.nextdoor.com

We also saw a feature in HR Brew highlighting Tony Castellanos, discussing how AI will help grow people teams into strategic advisors.

That raises real questions.

How are Tony Castellanos and Nirav Tolia “bringing people together” with the current culture and processes?

How is AI being used to enhance traditional HR functions, even as the platform still relies on unpaid moderators who can divide, silence, or suspend neighbors for perceived bias?

Tony speaks about genuine interaction and not replicating trust and empathy through technology. Yet on the platform, neighbors often yell at each other virtually, get put in digital “time out,” and leave without finding common ground.

That’s not trust. That’s not empathy. And it’s certainly not leadership.

I’m very curious to see the Q4 results on February 18, 2026. More importantly, will Nirav read my question?
