And it happened on someone else's thread about a wanting to raise chickens and had my name in the response in a message loaded with exclamation points saying something akin to "learn to follow the rules or MOVE OUT!". I had absolutely never broken any such rules and then proceeded to call me "special" when I asked her to stop her defamatory complaining.

For defending myself against such defamation, I was accused of "ranting", which ND defines as:
"and usually includes a combination of the following: ALL CAPS, excessive
Punctuation, provocative language, judgmental accusations, or
Repetitive explanations."
I had used absolute no caps or excessive punctuation who would consider, say, "please move on", one of the quotes they labelled from me as "ranting", which I had used to mean "please stop attacking me and get back on the thread topic", provocative language or a judgemental accusation?

And the person who launched the initial attack? According to my partner, who doesn't have a suspended account, she is still there, not suspended, with no repercussions.

Lesson learned, next time I won't respond to defamation, I'll just report.

But now I can't even report my side of the story or get quotes from her defamation of myself because my account is suspended.

Now my ability to get anything accomplished on the conversation on lobbying for the new residential chicken law or farming eggs for my community, between likely neighborhood loss of trust from the false accusation and the suspension knocking me off the thread, has been greatly diminished.

For anyone who reads this, do you think Nextdoor's behavior in favoring my attacker's behavior over mine seems more in direct violation of their own definition of their definition of personal attacks than mine of saying "please move on" is of ranting?

Or do you believe the damage I've done to the community by saying such
Things outweighs the community benefits of myself as a solar farm owner and vegetable farmer also providing fresh eggs, just as the original poster had suggested?

Not quite sure how Nextdoor's attitude on me aligns with their mission to benefit communities. I feel I was essentially slammed for attempting to help and, at worst, pushing aside someone demanding I not be allowed to help.
