I know it's The Onion and they're just joking, but this is not far off from what Nextdoor app was like when I was still on there last year... I had a lengthy debate with a woman on there who had been literally stalking someone because they didn't pick up their dogs poop. She was posting pictures of his house online and taking about vandalizing his property. When I pointed out that what she was planning was illegal and was very likely to end in a physical altercation and possibly with her arrest they all turned on me pretty much instantly lol
I'm really glad I'm not on that app anymore
