Transparency Matters — Let the Community Decide
I’ve chosen to share the full context behind my recent Nextdoor suspension — including the actual posts, video message, and comment exchanges — so the interwebs jury can see the facts and decide for themselves.
This isn’t about blame; it’s about transparency, accountability, and open dialogue. I firmly believe that respectful disagreement should not result in silencing or suspension — especially on platforms that claim to foster community and inclusivity.
The exhibits speak for themselves. I welcome professionals, neighbors, and digital community leaders to view them objectively and form their own conclusions.
If we want healthier online communities, we must be willing to examine how moderation is applied — and whether it aligns with the values of fairness, free expression, and authentic engagement.

Are Social Platforms Inflating Their Reach?
A question worth asking: could some platforms — including #Nextdoor — be inflating user metrics presented to advertisers? When users are suspended or removed involuntarily, often by unpaid moderators, their accounts may still be counted in overall demographic and reach statistics.
If so, advertisers may be paying for engagement that doesn’t truly exist, and partners may be basing investments on incomplete or misleading data. Transparency in reporting — not inflated numbers — should be the standard for any platform claiming to drive authentic community connection and brand visibility.
It’s time to examine how platform governance and data integrity intersect with advertising value.

Suspended Again-But Still Standing for Transparency and True Community
I’ve been suspended again from Nextdoor until October 28, 2025 — this time for sharing a text post, a short video message, and for respectfully responding to comments.
At no point was I disrespectful toward any moderator or employee — both remain anonymous and invisible to users. Yet, the platform continues to silence open dialogue and prevent even constructive disagreement.
How can advertisers, partners, and users support a platform that claims inclusivity while relying on unpaid moderators and unseen appeal reviewers who allow no flexibility, discussion, or dissent? Inclusivity without dialogue isn’t inclusion — it’s control.
My goal moving forward is to help create alternative, truly inclusive spaces where neighbors can share ideas, disagree respectfully, and grow together — without an invisible “big brother” acting as the police, judge, and jury.
I’d love to partner with programmers, marketers, designers, and other professionals who share this vision — to bring to life a new kind of neighborhood platform built on transparency, collaboration, and genuine community connection. Let’s build something better, together.

If This Was True, I Would Purchase It!
I did a short vlog about this. Go to videos, then scams. I believe I refer to this as #5. If anyone does find a legit ad like this, please reach out to me! I’ll be waiting whole inflation catches up!

Ok, here is what’s wrong with this picture…
The picture is too good. This isn’t a selfie. It’s either a professional image or an AI generated pic.
Kenneth? I said that it was a “unique name” to see what the response was. I was told it was “her” recently deceased dog’s name. I give am “A” for originality.
In what universe is a gal with this picture single. Yeah, I’ve heard of the “too pretty sundrome” where a gal is too pretty that no one asks her out because it is thought she is slacking up with someone already.
What happened here is that she used the “WhatsApp” line and zi knew it then. It’s a matter of time before an ATM request is asked for.
BE VIGILANT!!!
A Wate of My Time
I vlog about this employment/hiring scam and the silver lining from it.
Go to the videos page and scam category
Sure dude, whatever you say
I reference this TikTok tag in one of my videos, under SCAMS.
Let’s bring these folks to justice that prey on the unsuspecting.
Tik Tok Scam
These add are similar. It preys on someone that needs a car, possibly an amazing one. I’m asked to reach out to these companies/people via WhatsApp. They ask fir money down, usually $500, to start the process. It’s sent via a non-refundable method, usually CashApp.
There is no way these selling prices are real. A good scammer woukd be close to MMR (Manheim Market Report) at any auction. It’s no way this is real.
No VIN, no paperwork, all very fishy and phony. Below are examples with bogus names.
I’ve been commenting “scam” when I see an ad like this on the TikTok.
I Hate You Jo!!!
Many moons ago, I drove from Winterset, Iowa to Mundelein, Illinois with a Black 4ish pound Chihuahua named Jojo. She had TERRIBLE breath. When taking her out, we could get looks as her brother was a 90ish pound Rottweiler, Buster.
She hated me, and I hated her. She loved everyone else, except me. I was good with that. I would pick her up, pet her, or hold her close to my face and say “We are friends! We ARE friends!” We were not. She growled at me everytime, and bit me a few also, on my nose. I hated/loved that dog.
The FB algorithm thought I needed to see these videos. There must be a chip implanted in my brain reading my thoughts. How would it know about Jo? These videos are an exact depiction of my relationship with Jo, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge several years ago. I miss the smell of her NASTY breath.

Her Videos Always Crack Me Up
Some how the FB algorithm got me tuned into this lady, and her BUNCH of Bullies. She’s got a lot.
Her story is so kind and life changing. She rescued her pack from abuse and who know what terrible fate. The dog in this picture and most of her very short reels was used as a bait dog. If you aren't familiar with what a bait dog is, it’s like sparing for humans, except take away any rules and compassion.
After all the abuse he suffered, he has so much patience, humor, and love for Maren (the pack leader) and to perform. His look at the start of every video he stars in ALWAYS cracks me up!
You can view her content and this amazing pup here…

This Resonates with Me
I was going to a follow up transplant appointment today, and came across this at the information desk at MUSC. I asked the woman at the desk if she wrote it, she does not. She said a colleague writes one everyday.
May be worth the trip from the Mount P. to Downtoen CHS to see what Thursday says.

I reference these TikTok comments in my video post today. Find it on one of the major social media platforms.
