Last week Kelly Sturcke noticed a lot of vitriol coming from the popular neighborhood social media site \u201cNext Door<\/a>.\u201d \u201cIt seemed like anything that was posted caused a fight,\u201d said Sturcke. \u201cSometimes, it appears as if the post was meant to cause a fight. Maybe people are so lonely or bored they are posting things just so a fight or disagreement starts and then they can follow the evil banter like a soap opera. I just find it hard to believe that people would be so na\u00efve to think posting some of these things wouldn\u2019t start a fair amount of disagreement. Maybe not what the intended purpose was for \u2018Next Door<\/a>.\u2019\u201d Sturcke knew she wouldn\u2019t be able to make comments on any of the \u201cargument posts\u201d that would end the conversations in a positive way, but thought she may be able to make a change by making her own post that everyone could get behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cI figured I would post something innocuous that people couldn\u2019t disagree on and also may come off in a positive way,\u201d said Sturcke. \u201cSo, I posted, \u2018the sky is blue.\u2019 I figured, everyone has to agree with that, and in a way, the idea of blue skies can be a positive one.\u201d The post ended up being what will be a great example of the social media world we live in today. \u201cSome people, of course, \u2018thanked\u2019 me, and made comments saying simple things like, \u2018sure is,\u2019 or \u2018great day,\u2019 said Sturcke. \u201cBut, then came the dissenters. We clearly have trollers on a community site, or people who have a disease where they have to argue. It caused all sorts of chaos. I couldn\u2019t have imagined it.\u201d On the \u2018Next Door<\/a>\u2019 post, argumentative comments could be seen such as, \u201chow can you say that? Looks gray to me,\u201d and \u201cyou are rude,\u201d and even \u201cthis is the exact reason I hate this site. Because of people like you.\u201d The comments thread went on and on, according to Sturcke. \u201cI wanted to delete it, but I admit, morbid curiously as to what and why people were commenting on such a benign post got the best of me. People were responding to people responding to people responding. I inadvertently started a hate string. It was pretty crazy.\u201d Sturcke says her experiment is complete, and she has no intention of replicating it. \u201cI have no interest in ever using Next Door again unless it is for an emergency. And honestly, I can\u2019t imagine what that would be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
