I want to leave streetlife and NOT join Nextdoor. I can't find a way to do this. I can't get into My Account on streetlife.

I do not want to join Nextdoor. Has any one else managed to do tis recently please?

Your subscription of Streetlife will cease within the next few days when the site closes so there is no need to take any action to leave Streetlife.

As long as you don't subscribe to Nextdoor you will not be part of that site at all and you will not have joined it.

So within the next few days you will not be part of either Streetlife or Nextdoor if you simply do nothing.

The reason that the message feed on Streetlife looks a bit odd lately and why no-one has responded to recent posts about Nextdoor is that SL/ND are censoring it and not telling anyone. In the past on SL if you had a post taken down by the moderators they would send you a message saying that it had been taken down and explaining why. Now they are ND they are censoring all PMs and posts that are critical of ND and also those that mention the only other alternative to SL which is Kahuti. However the underhand thing is that ND are not telling anyone about this censorship and to the poster it looks like their post is still up for all to see when in fact it is only visible to them alone.

They have also removed from the site the Ts & Cs that everyone signed up to when they joined SL as what ND is now doing breaks them. Not nice or ethical (or indeed perhaps legal!) behaviour. The BBC has been contacted about this so it will be interesting to see what happens. When I realised that a quiet censorship had been put in place I emailed SL (like many others) to ask why and no-one has had any response. Also as of yesterday they are not allowing PMs to be sent from people who have criticised ND or mentioned Kahuti. I and many others have now been stopped from sending PMs at all about anything yet it still looks as if they have been sent.

Ah thanks for update, I knew about the block on posts but not PMs, I sent a PM a about an hour ago, seems it may not arrive

Set up a facebook for your town or parish, or use one that is already there.

HiS - agree, not on facebook myself, there's no way to view it as per a 'guest', you have to sign up. Besides, seems to be all about posting photo of anything and everything.

Kahuti, yes, has the potential to be better - because of the bigger area it covers. When I registered it took name and surname at first, but easy to amend it to name and surname initial. Though not sure how it will expand, streetlife for example sent out postcard invitations.
