They do have an unsubscribe from all button. It's in the delete my account because i get too many emails user flow. Ask me how i know. Nextdoor is a master class in dark patterns.
Instead of trying to unsubscribe, the best way to punish a business is to use the “mark as spam” button liberally.
Most email sending services have upper caps on acceptable complaint rates, and if done by a sufficient number of users, would result in a suspension of their sending capabilities, and an IP address block on whatever email service you’re using.
Yeah if you clicked the unsubscribe button and they're still sending you email, then it's spam. It doesn't matter if you think the company deserves to be "punished" or not, this is just literally what the word spam means and what that button is for.
Yep. I'm getting more and more aggressive with spam reports every year. If they don't have a single-click Unsubscribe link in the email, I won't even bother trying. I just mark it as spam. If the filter doesn't learn, I add them to my Fastmail rules which automatically reports it. My inbox surprisingly remains one of the most tolerable facets of my internet experience.

I like the idea but I doubt it. Who do you think is enforcing this? Their transactional email provider don’t want to lose the business, Gmail/MS/Fastmail aren’t going to spamhole a big legit business…
After I changed my address to comiskey park I stopped getting anything from nextdoor as, I suppose, the account is suspended until I verify the address, which is fortunately not possible.
