Yes, and you need to know if the sense of justice of anyone is really just or not, as an anarchistIt seems like most of the problems in the world - most human atrocities at the personal and societal level - all come from people executing their sense of justice. It's all punishments.
yeah, the neighborhood app really bugs me too.This is not a popular opinion, but:
I don't think people should be able to execute justice on an individual level. I don't think people have good judgement.
Take gossip. How many people believe that, and enjoy spreading that and listening to that, without caring about whether or not it's true? I can see something like this being the information gathering network for vigilantes. I'd imagine more harm than good being done when I think about how reliable gossip is.
Nextdoor is a vigilante app - 100%. Just putting it out there.This is not a popular opinion, but:

It really does feel like that. I joined it when my cat went missing, and left within a month, it was very upsetting. I've definitely noticed the friendliness of the neighborhood drop like the stock market in 1929, things seem more Orwellian than they used to. Like just a bunch of cop calling trolls egging each other on towards what seems from the outside looking in to be a hategasm?Nextdoor is a vigilante app - 100%. Just putting it out there.
I don't think individuals should execute justice (no matter how much the media applauds them for it). But people not caring if something is true or not isn't going to be resolved until people start caring if something is true or not.
Oh it's very alarming, My parents live in a 55+ community and they have one. It is all Ring doorbell narcs and breathtakingly stupid white people that have nothing else to do but try to get the neighbors arrested and maybe killed because they have more than 10 pieces of flair in their flowerbeds.It really does feel like that.

Like no one seems to be on there to help their actual neighbors with seemingly anything.
