I’m not convinced that cameras and Nextdoor are having a material impact on the vague idea of “trust between neighbors,” but I admit it’s hard to gauge because I only have my own experience, which exists on a potentially wide spectrum.
I’m barely on Nextdoor and was surprised to hear there’s apparently a pretty common use of it for public shaming. The potential for petty community conflict does seem heightened by some of these technologies.
The childishness on display is surreal. This is a whole-ass nation acting like an unimaginatively smug 10 year old.
Is that a Trump “Tim Apple” reference? I wouldn’t have even noticed if you hadn’t called it out.
