Among existing tech that could be used for a hyperlocal social service, maybe something like Hometown?

Or maybe Bonfire Community, or a @bonfire flavour specifically for the purpose?

Enshittification is a thing. But it would have been harder to pull Neighbourly down that road if it had been a piece of Free Code software. Hosted locally by groups using it, or maybe on a city/ district scale by co-ops of local groups within that area. Ideally federated, so people can move their account when they change neighbourhoods, etc.

#Neighbourly

@rabble also talks about Front Porch Forum;

"...a free community-building service in Vermont and parts of New York. Your neighborhood's forum is only open to the people who live there. It's all about helping neighbors connect.

https://frontporchforum.com/

He says it circulates posts within a small local area, moderating them before delivery, and delivering approved posts 24 hours after they're sent. This is brilliant!

It's like #Neighbourly but run by a not-for-profit.
