Useful feedback - thanks. The content you're seeing may be misleading for what the platform really does. Let me explain. The "hot topic" thing is just chatgpt creating conversation…

One of the biggest problems in local communities is how social media (usually in Nextdoor or Facebook groups) acts like acid for our social bonds. Your neighbors are looking for pa…
