I thought all was lost when I lost my friends on Streetlife. Nextdoor certainly wasn't for me! Too intrusive and unsafe. The Founders of Kahuti are hands on and accessible. They listen to what the community need and act on it. If you haven't joined then please, do yourself a favour. Go to www.kahuti.com and join an old fashioned community to ask about local trades or where to buy something or how to do something. Or just to meet new people. Organise a get-together and put the pics up. Enjoy.

I have just deactivated both my Streetlife and Nextdoor accounts. And here is what I put on the Nextdoor site when asked my reason for leaving

Streetlife has treated us, loyal members, very badly. First we had to verify our address and that was, at first, by giving details of a credit card? Then the postal option was offered. Then, all of a sudden, we are hijacked and TOLD that if I don't get so many new members for Nextdoor then the 'pilot' will be cancelled. Privacy: yes I can remove my door number BUT it still gives my street AND my full name. How is that safe? Please tell your 'partner', Streetlife, that you have made a lot of vulnerable people at risk by cutting off their access to events and meets in our area. Streetlife was a lifeline for vulnerable people without family structure to help them. The bereaved, new retired or moved to a new area. And all for greed!
