In NextDoor, or at least in my neck of the woods, it didn't matter On 
almost every neighborhood topic, one person would worm their into 
bringing up national politics or cultural politics and then the topic 
was forever dead.

I would first nicely mention that Nextdoor wants itself to be a place 
for solving neighborhood problems, at the city level and not past the 
state level. It didn't matter.

I then tried nicely to mention that if they were hot to discuss a 
non-topical item, they should create their own post rather than ruining 
another's NextDoor topic. They just accused me of trying to silence them.

I then nicely explained that there were many other social media networks 
where they could have a larger reach to spew their political rants like 
reddit, FB, twitter and, depending on their predilections, perhaps even 
Grindr. It didn't matter.

I then even went the extra mile and cut/pasted the guideline sections, 
along with a link to it. It didn''t matter. They called me an OK 
Boomer!, Nazi, misogynist and, wait for it ... a racist.

I decided that NextDoor was not a place to waste my time on solving 
neighborhood issues.
