Am I the only one that thinks Nextdoor has gone over to the dark side? When they came to my neighborhood here in Seattle (Queen Anne) it was a wonderful idea that actually served a very useful purpose of connecting neighbors. It was virtually advertising free and we did not have to pay for it. I know....nothing is free but it can be almost free, can't it?
The local posts by individuals has declined over the last couple of years as very obnoxious picture ads have overwhelmed them. Some are local sponsored ads and some are national corporation ads that tend to repeat endlessly. I counted some this morning: For You: 23 real posts, 34 ads, 2 beggars. Most Recent: 40 posts, 43 ads, 2 beggars. (I included the beggars (help me pay my rent etc) just because they are just as irritating as the ads).
I am hoping that SeattleOnly.com can be a practical virtually free true local place we can commune our local interests without outside interference. We shall see.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -

SeattleOnly is my attempt to bring into existence a true local neighborhood social site free of the usual outside influences that distract from simply communicating with my neighbors. For example: No advertising of businesses in the main posts. Businesses in the chosen neighborhood may post in the local business section their contact info, address and logo for example for free. If they wish to take control of their business listing with additional info such as advertising, pictures or coupons they can upgrade their listing at a minimal cost.
I believe (as admin for this project) that the people who live here should have control of the content - not corporations from elsewhere. We want local control of our neighborhood economy, local politics, local discussions and true local services provided by those that live and work here.
Your ideas on how this can best be achieved are welcome!Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -
I have an idea. I personally would like a place to commune with others of a like mind. Apparently, they are hard to find...but I don't believe it. I know I'm not alone thinking the world has gone crazy. I'm not a Democrat neither am I a Republican. I like to think of myself as a liberal, which is understandable as I grew up during the '60's in San Francisco. But...the definition of the word Liberal has changed over time like many words used politically today.
Does anybody else out there concern themselves with issues that have actually been worked on and thought about beyond accepting at face value what the TV, social media and political parties imprint upon our brain?
This website could be the beginning of a beatific relationship. Maybe. Care to comment?
