When the Connector Stops Connecting — and Silence Gets Rewarded

The last time #NiravTolia personally “connected” with anyone on X was November 25, 2025. That interaction? A simple repost of the Nextdoor x Netflix #StrangerThings collaboration. No personal commentary. No leadership context. No engagement.

For a CEO whose platform is built on the idea of connection, that silence is hard to ignore. What makes it more noticeable is the contrast:

- On May 7, 2024, Nirav announced his return as CEO on X.

- Starting January 28, 2025, he posted frequently — sometimes every business day, sometimes multiple times a day.

Then, abruptly… nothing. Over two months of silence.

That raises reasonable questions:

- What changed?

- Why stop communicating now?

- If the connection is the product, why disengage publicly?

- Is “not connecting” the new form of connection we’re meant to accept?

There’s another uncomfortable angle here:

A buyout of #Nextdoor that rewards #NiravTirav doesn’t help the platform or its users. It risks misdirecting accountability — allowing a company with real potential to be rewarded for inactivity rather than leadership. Silence shouldn’t be monetized. Disengagement shouldn’t be cashed out. Leadership doesn’t require constant posting — but it does require presence, especially when users are frustrated, advertisers are questioning value, and investors are seeking clarity.

Connection isn’t a slogan. It’s behavior — especially at the top.
