Living Local in a Digital Age: The Nextdoor Experience
Episode 7
Monday, 14 July, 2025
Neighbors, Networks, and the New Front PorchIn this episode, we explore the evolving role of the Nextdoor app — part community noticeboard, part digital gathering space — and how it’s quietly shaped the way we show up in our neighborhoods.What started as a way to borrow a ladder or post about a missing cat has grown into something much more complex. We talk about the benefits: spontaneous acts of kindness, real-time local updates, and the rare chance to meet the people who live just steps away. But we also hold space for the challenges — miscommunication, judgment, and the tension that comes from blending online anonymity with real-life proximity.We reflect on our own relationship with the platform: how it’s helped us connect, how it’s complicated things, and what it reveals about the kind of community we want to build — both online and off.At the end, we offer our overall score — not just on functionality, but on what it feels like to use Nextdoor as real people trying to live more connected, grounded lives.If you’ve ever wondered whether your neighborhood could feel more like a village and less like a string of driveways, this episode’s for you.--DOWNLOAD and SUBSCRIBE to Digital Sanity, on Apple, Spotify, IHeart, or Spreaker!
