Musk looks at Facebook and Nextdoor... "WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1!"

Never heard of Nextdoor. What is that?

I briefly used it. It connects you to all of your neighbors. It's good for knowing what's going on in your community.

Nextdoor? Is misinformation really being spread on a physical community app? "We had a package thief last week. I know they're tied to Hunter Biden and the Democrats! MAGA 2024!!!!"

Oh, you would be shocked. Lots of vaccine disinfo for example.
