I will preface this by saying I have zero hate for people enjoying themselves without harming others.
When someone injects extreme representations of themselves into every encounter they have with no regard for context, it can be frustrating. It's off-putting to be having a typical conversation and suddenly have someone use RP text. It's not the culture that is off-putting, it's the out-of-context actions.
I understand that for some, social cues and context around conversation might not be as clear or understood. I just personally have a hard time handling a conversation when the other party is suddenly RPing as their fursona outside of that space.
Just because someone doesn't understand that is no reason to have some sort of extreme hate towards them though.
Lots of variation in quality for nextdoor. It depends on where you live since they group by neighborhoods. I left nextdoor during the pandemic because it was a never ending stream of rightwing talking points about vaccines and shutdowns.
Alas! Yeah I saw a fair bit of that go by but mostly ignored it; my area is fairly diverse politically so there were people yelling into the void and also people who weren’t. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for just like, hanging out and chatting with people, but they’ve been pretty good at least where I am about recommendations. Maybe that does vary by how crappy your neighbors are, though.
Where I live nextdoor is a SM shitshow nothing but Whining astroturfing illiterates
If Facebook was
“people you know talking and things you don’t care about”
And Reddit was
“people you don’t know talking about things you care about”
Then nextdoor is
“people you don’t care about talking about crap you don’t care about

I generally just listen to public broadcast radio, then follow up any stories that interest me with an internet search to get a general idea of the story and weed out the biases.
Lemmy. I really worry that any karma system will lead to lower-quality communities faster, because of the incentives it creates to gamify it. I appreciate that the Lemmy devs have intentionally stayed away from having a karma system at all.
Some apartments that I can turn into transitional housing for houseless and/or low income families, along with a staff of full time handymen, social workers, and counselors for facilities and transitional support.
Create a healthcare fund/endowment investment managed by someone competent. It would be used to pay medical collections debts using the interest it draws.
I dunno. A billion dollars goes a long way. Well above and beyond any amount I ever anticipate needing, let alone having. Maybe some Picassos to hang in my modest house.
After setting up my family for life, I'd use the rest to start a micro-lending company for small businesses to get started or expand. I'd open them next to dollar stores and hire lots of bilingual people. We'd have free business plan advice, too. For fun I'd buy houses in lousy neighborhoods, fix them up and fit them out with solar and geothermal systems, then offer to trade the house with a neighbor and repeat the process. This would cost money but a billion can go a long way one house at a time and see step one.
