We have been invited to join a village collective called "Nextdoor". Which proposes to be a kind of self-help group swooping tradesmen names, gardening equipment and generally helping each other plus a furniture swop etc.
Has anyone else joined and found any benefits or drawbacks?
We are not on Facebook or Twitter and on googling the group it seems to be part of Facebook.
We are careful with our personal details and this seems to ask for a lot that will be made public that we are hesitant to do.
Any comments positive or negative would be gratefully received.
