Nextdoor reverses ban on our post on the attack on DISD by the right as misinformation. Homophobes get Nextdoor support.
This was the second time they did it, and this time I appealed. Though restored, all the conversations are now dead.

Another case where Nextdoor bullied us is in the news.
This is a developing story.
Nextdoor is headquartered in San Francisco and the San Francisco Human Rights Commission is going to issue a statement. We await the response of Nextdoor.
The Bay Area Reporter is the LGBT newspaper there.
We don't have a human rights commission in Dallas, but we do have excuses why we don't have one. I will put in the comments the article which Nextdoor banned.

This was the post that was banned by Nextdoor as misinformation.
Homophobes just jumped into the conversation. But we got banned.
Supposedly reporting on a right wing attack on the LGBT programs at Dallas Independent School District (DISD) is “misinformation.” What I think happens is that Nextdoor just bans stuff if they get a complaint.
This is the second time I got banned, but this time I won the appeal. It was fairly strongly worded about Nextdoor aiding homophobes. Unfortunately the conversations have stopped and so it is dead posting effectively, even if back online.
Also, I wasn’t allowed to comment on it. So it is online and not hidden, but still dead.
If there is heated controversy Nextdoor just bans stuff to make it go away. There is no way they could have determined if this was misinformation or not.
Nextdoor’s headquarters are in San Francisco. If you know people in SF, let them know what happens in Texas.
Homophobes say bigotted things, but then say “you don’t know me,” when you call them bigots.

Two lessons to learn.
You need to be always fighting.
We need to see who our friends are and who are enemies are.
Subscriptons are free.
We, LGBTQ people who demand equality are fodder for their culture wars. We must fight everyday. We must stand all together and organize to demand our rights. “If they come for me in the morning they will come for you at night.”
