I heard from a couple of friends that they have been banned from Nextdoor for posting facts and opinions that don't fit the narrative.

So the purging has begun.

There are certain self-serving experts on TOTV that attempt to denigrate posters who express their opinions with statements like show me your facts. Opinions are opinions of the poster. They are formed by life experience. We are all entitled to them without challenge. They may be wrong. Facts are not necessarily truths. It may be a fact that 55% of Scientists surveyed agree with a certain subject. Even though that fact may be true (Being that 55 % of surveyed scientists agree), that does not mean that what they agree with is true.
Recent posts regarding global warming or Climate change are examples. Some posters find some way of transitioning any topic to an argument on climate change. A big snowstorm in the southern hemisphere news article morphed into climate change.

So given that statement, I will state an undeniable fact that I was told today that my home cannot be insured by State Farm here in The Villages because it has a roof installed more than 15 years ago, (despite having 20-year guaranteed shingle on the roof that has been inspected as ok). That is a new qualification requirement. (Recall that what was I was told).

Looking for insurance options.

Why Posts are Deleted. Reminder that posts
with political content, any political comments,
will be deleted. It's not because the posts are
"conservative" or "liberal", it's because they
are political. No matter how nice or polite
they are, they will be pulled.
I see so many people complain that NextDoor
is against their political stance or party
because their posts are deleted. People who
think that their post isn't political when it
clearly is. To you it might be "common
sense"
or
"basic kindness" but to others it's
a political comment.
Let's try to keep NextDoor an open forum
where everyone is welcome and
conversations bring us closer together as a
community instead of a divisive quagmire
that erupts from political posts

Let’s see- their headquarters are based in San Francisco, California?

The thread on the big snowstorm specifically asked, in the OP "how can global warming be true"

As to why people get vacations - that has not changed in a while, and on this board, the moderators tend to spread the fun around when politics or excessive rudeness appears.

It's nothing new. And as has been said over and over, it's Nextdoor or TOTV's ball, they get to make the rules.

And where does it say no one can challenge posted opinions? I welcome challenges, as long as the challenger either says, "this is my opinion" or "this is a fact and here is why".

EDIT: I just read an article that Truth Social is now banning people because they posted about some TV show yesterday. I guess the big purge is coming.

Their house their rules. One can always choose what site to read and post

We’re all in different tribes with different opinions. Whether or not something/someone is banned or censored from a social media platform depends largely on whose tribe controls the delete button.

My experience here, with "vacations", is that the moderators tend to follow the rules, and not just randomly ban people. I have had a couple of justified vacations, others on the other side that I follow also have.

Seems to be a lot of persecution complex. Maybe the simpler answer is just that there are rules, and some don't like them.

I'm not in The Villages, yet, but my Nextdoor site is a hot mess now. The feed has a weird mix of current posts and posts from months ago. Some current posts are buried so far back in older posts that I'm positive that I never see them or if I do it's not until weeks or months after they originally posted.

I don't know what that's all about but it's annoying and I've heard plenty of other people complain about it so it isn't just my feed get messed up.

the only recourse is to start a chat group of your own, where YOU control the content. you can even disclose that all or certain points are welcome, while others are not. i dont go to nextdoor, but can imagine it must be a jumbled mess by the way members speak of it.
