They paid £10 million for Streetlife but nobody wants to join them.

The problem as I see it is that any social media website can start with any vetting beforehand

We can access a "Nextdoor" website that just covers our immediate neighborhood. It's not very well supported, having less than 150 members. I access it regularly when a notification of new posts appears in my e-mail, but it's not particularly useful to me.

Streetlife was great. I could reach the whole of the borough and then they sold out to nextdoor and I am now restricted to a small local area. It's more like neighbourhood watch now.
