Welcome! You are probably now a resident of beautiful Madison Alabama. And maybe you are trying to get to know your community but find that people aren’t readily knocking at your door to offer you some cupcakes. Well, how about some virtual neighbors in the same sense?
It’s a Social Network
There are many social networks and platforms out there but what Next Door focuses on is community.
It’s kind of like an online version of your neighborhood and those around you.
Word of warning is that although it is an online community, you’ll discover that people are very open about their political preference, among other things, and sometimes get into these virtual scuffles. And there might be trolls and keyboard warriors.
So as with every other social network, use it at your discretion.
Examples of posts that you’ll find is… Has someone seen my dog? My son just graduated and is looking for a job? Does anyone know what’s going on at [neighborhood] because there is a big police presence? Thank you to the man that returned my wallet. The food at [restaurant] was soooo delicious, you have to try it! Etc.
