There are some people who need to have something to complain about. It is like an addiction for them. There really is no helping them and attempting to do so will just make you a new target for their complaints.

This isn't really a new thing. These people existed before the internet. The difference is people would eventually stop talking to these people in real life. Whereas this online community group is essentially like handing them a bullhorn so everyone hears them all the time.

I’m not sure I understand the social ettiequte in those neighbourhood groups either. The people always seem highly reactive and I’ve been in arguments with others a few times. I just avoid interacting now unless I’m looking for specific info. I’m not sure what you said was wrong but probably obvious so maybe that’s why they went off about it 🤷‍♀. I’m ND too so I think the same if they don’t like it just mute or block.

You are not in the wrong, they are just suffering from a worldwide dilemma to use kind terminology for being inclusive and/or touchy. It's increasingly more difficult to engage in today's world. To be genuine isn't going to win any favors, but is all the more applaudable.

Well, it could be perceived as accusatory, so that is where you went wrong with the best of intentions, I'm sure. Going into an online group for which the purpose is to communicate to the group and suggesting that people should block the communication is... well... rude and not helpful. Certainly, you meant well but it comes off as obnoxious, aggressive, and like you're trying to tear the online community apart.

Typically if we have to interact with people in the real world, we should limit our online interactions BECAUSE people tend to get mouthy online, even if they have to see these same people in the real world.

When it is real-life acquaintances, we should not say anything online that we would not say if standing face to face, but people forget that. Kind of like when people write "scathing" e-mails or texts to their boss. Like what the h3ll were they thinking? 🤨

Also when someone says or writes things like "Thank you for your input", it typically means they do not agree but would prefer not to discuss something any further. Best to let it drop.
I would just avoid that drama in a garbage suit. Facebook group for a neighborhood? Are you kidding me? Sound like some type of HOA sheet. Who has time for that except for karens ...

@Magicianzini I try to avoid it as much as possible... Offline, it's so easy because nobody's outside, like ever, but online, everyone has something to say. Nothing wrong with having an online group for the community you live in but yea my neighborhood is full of hateful people so there's a lot of drama & everyone's in your business. It's also an unofficial group; the landlord & now the corporate business that owns the neighborhood aren't involved. There are so many restrictions here; having a space just to talk freely & knowing what's going on shouldn't be criticized.
