Nextdoor

They don't seem to have an issue with political postings with soap-boxing, ranting and name calling even though the people are shown again and again violating common tenets of the Nextdoor Community Guidelines, but when someone has undue inflouence on the supposed anonymous community leads, they will apply penalties as they wish. Nextdoor needs to own guideline enforcement and not leave it to a bunch of untrained, unpaid administrators

I wonder how many Karen's on a daily sit at their computers dissecting our names and if they don't deem it to be correct we get reported and our accounts get disabled haha! What a fu#king joke. And only a Liberal site would allow them to commit such an atrocity I think with their 2.4 rating they actually feel important enough to oust users that the KAREN'S have reported

All it takes is one halfcocked degenerate to twist everything around with a post, and you are out. No investigation, no inquiry, no being able to face your accuser, or even rebut the accusation.

They are so anti what our principles, as a nation is about, I dont want anything to do with them.

It could be a great tool and I guess for some it may even be helpful but there are people on the site that are leads... in charge of monitoring the site... if you only have one lead it's difficult to keep the threads on topic and it gets nasty and sometimes vicious. One lead actually private messaged me to taunt me about a stalker and called another woman fat... he's still the lead the site didn't think this was enough to remove him... they told me he was warned... I wouldn't join didn't get anything out of it.

Nextdoor started out good. The idea of a site specific to your neighborhood sounded great. You can keep up with what's going on and any alerts. However, it became postings for jobs wanted and junk for sale. The local sheriff has taken to posting "wanted felons" alerts, which don't involve my area at all. There are plenty of sites for news and junk for sale but nothing specific to individual neighborhoods. It was a good idea, too bad it didn't work!

Some users create multiple accounts on NextDoor to support their own causes on the site. NextDoor does not have an effective way of stopping residents from creating multiple accounts. It relies on leads to verify accounts but leads themselves have created fake accounts. Without real identity verification, ND is just another forum.

Nextdoor was great when it started. You could easily scan an area for safety concerns in your neighborhood, but also check out any additional news, see "for sale" information. Or ads. NOW everything is lost in advertisments. I used to visit the site daily... now, I hesitate to look at it at all. Started out addressing all our concerns in separate areas... not so much now.

Have found over time that this is a super ad driven app so be prepared for the deluge. Guess rents in San Francisco are high. Also have seen over time that MAGA supporters are given a preference. They can attack but you can't defend. Also this app just has not been that helpful unless you are either looking for your lost cat or you spotted a coyote (live next to a wildlife habitat) yet again. Thought at the start this would be a great app. Now just sorely disappointed. No wonder the numbers for this are awful.

Many moderators are part of a clique of usually retired or unemployed domestic homemakers that are busy judging people they consider socially below them. They accuse people if digital panhandling. They purge people's posts about needing assistance. They are allowed and encourage to join in on public shaming. It promotes some of the nastiest attitudes of the wanna be elite.

Using this to help lift our neighborhood to a better more organized collective power for change in our city. Started a group to organize desired changes into an agenda to present to City Council Meetings. Looking into organizing a neighborhood challenge for aesthetics, like most improved property, like landscaping, flours, upgrades, etc. Also a local outreach group is on the drawing board to help those locally who may not be able to do alot for themselves, like the elderly, handicapped, etc... to lend them a community helping hand. :) Very useful tool!

Our long standing neighborhood was hijacked by Nextdoor. Efforts to resolve this result in slick, canned responses from their 'support' desk. Their privacy policy has holes in it and I would caution neighbors to stay away from this vendor. Do your homework. This company in San Francisco cannot possibly be the solution for neighborhoods across the country. Many of our neighborhood leaders joined Nextdoor initially to test the site and all of us have since de-activated. We have our own neighborhood centric network and trying to rid ourselves of this company.
