I’m not convinced that cameras and Nextdoor are having a material impact on the vague idea of “trust between neighbors,” but I admit it’s hard to gauge because I only have my own experience, which exists on a potentially wide spectrum.
I’m barely on Nextdoor and was surprised to hear there’s apparently a pretty common use of it for public shaming. The potential for petty community conflict does seem heightened by some of these technologies.

The few times I’ve gone on nextdoor it’s just a bunch of people asking for plumbers, contractor, ECT. It seems like the most mundane social media possible. But I’m in more of an urban area, maybe it’s worse in the suburbs.

Around here it is a lot of that, then add “Did you hear gunshots” Everytime a car backfires or fireworks gonoff even slightly out of season. Oh and a fuckton of hate for houseless people.
