Yes, I know…I think some people want to keep the “report” function, though…and honestly, they often catch the subtle repeat offenders.

In reply to Karen. Facebook has always allowed the option to block another user, which simultaneously keeps both blocker and blockie from seeing each other's posts. My suggestion would be virtually the same function and based on individual choice.

I'm not so sure about your suggestion for Nextdoor to mute both parties: both the reportee and reporter. That censors someone, which isn't a great idea. I am disturbed by the number of ad hominem attacks by a few Nextdoor members. I know this goes on across the country, however it shows a frightening lack of ability to debate intellectually. As a lead, I've had several neighbors ask me about some individuals and the extent of their mental illness. I actually put that in nicer terms. Even if only a few are reporting aberrant behaviors, this probably indicates a wide recognition by many that there are some very sad individuals connected to this social media venue. That's a shame.
