Perhaps that is the answer but since facebook does not actually own nextdoor you have to wonder, what was the question?

If people were more discriminating and less gullible, there wouldn't be the need to censor or ban certain posts unless they are disrespectful. Truth is never served by censorship.

So the purging has begun.

People are sick and tired of the political posts. If they got banned they were one of those posters who refused to follow the rules.

Here is what it’s called….capitalism. The US was founded on capitalism. Everyone is for capitalism UNTIL someone gets their hands slapped for not following the rules. Individual Company’s have rules too. Their Board of Directors and executives create and enforce the company’s rules. If you don’t like a company’s rules, then don’t use them and/or create and run your own company with your own rules. Unlike communist country’s, the US government doesn’t tell corporations how to run their companies.

Both Next-door and this site, TOV do the same thing. Problem living in their "Bubble". Truth hurts!

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.

Nextdoor has a option to change the feed preference. You need to go into your settings and preferences and then feed preferences and set it to recent posts. For some reason Nextdoor started defaulting to top posts so it screwed up everyones feed. Plus changing this setting only lasts 90 days so when you notice it getting strange again you need to change it back to the recent posts.

Nextdoor has a political section where people can blather about stolen elections and such. They have that because politics are not allowed in the general feed. There are Nextdoor trolls who deliberately post controversial topics, having nothing to do with the original intent and reason for Nextdoor. I'm glad they get banned. If I was in charge more people would be, and before you say anything about Freedom of Speech, it protects you from the US government, if has nothing to do with not obeying rules you agreed to when you joined Nextdoor.

You must have missed the "apparently", "reportedly" "purportedly", and "users claim" caveats in all of the stories...

Congress doesn't even make its OWN website a public square. They decide when someone can and cannot post a comment, under what circumstances, on which topics.

"Social media" is a category, it's not an actual thing. Facebook, NextDoor, YouTube, Twitter, etc are all private property made available to public viewing, and membership-only participation. In order to post on them you must be a member. In order to be a member you must agree to follow the rules. You must accept that if they decide you aren't following the rules, THEY have the right to kick you off their platform. And you maintain the right to leave, if you don't like it.

NextDoor has a policy about not posting about politics, at all. If you comment about something you saw on TV, and that TV show was about politics, then by extension - you are talking about politics. Whether the information was factual or not, if it was about politics, then you violated NextDoor's policy.

Yet Congress created specific laws protecting and outlining responsibilities to these platforms...

I, too, was banned from Ne tdoor indefinitely for posting an article from Nature.com concerning 53 studies on Covid shot and how it works in the human body.
