Great in theory but not practice! Nextdoor is widely known as a social bullying cite with leads participating, a complete failure to bring a community together. Hate and name calling rampant, God help you if you disagree or have an opinion, your kicked cut off!
There is only 1 narrative allowed, period! Rules and guidelines are out the window and ND corporate looks he other way and do nothing! If you speak the truth, your account is disabled, only Nextdoor Matters, living nightmare!
James did an outstanding job replacing my kitchen and dining room light fixtures. He also fixed my four way light switch which was a Godsend! James is a very knowledgeable and skilled electrician who I would hire again for any electrical issues or lightening installations. Thank you!
Nextdoor should be called Stasi or Savaak, or KGB, or something more befitting their callous, censoring ways; They have an agenda, and do very little to hide the fact. I gave up on posting anything useful to my neighbors there, save for lost cats, long ago. Someone should close the joint, and turn off the lights... OH! The lights are already off in this place. The Light of Day is not permitted.
ND censors speech they or their monitors don't like, such as conservative factual speech. Choose another platform! For example there is Conservative Club group that I am a member of and all too often good, honest interaction is censored by monitors claiming that the monitor did not pull the post.
NextDoor is completely two-faced about their policies. My father is an elderly retired veteran. He posted something several of the "woke" people on the site didn't like. One woman threatened him three times, including bashing his head in if he called the police about the threats. Another woman called him vile names, slandering him. He reported all the woman to NextDoor. Did any of them get suspended? No! My dad tried to quit the site and wanted his data deleted. NextDoor refuses because they say he is on suspension! Him, not the women! NextDoor violates your privacy by forcing you to use your real name and they even put a pin on Google Maps to show where your house is! Not only do they not punish violent threats, but they make it easy for the victim to be found. I am disgusted. If you are an elderly white male, you will be discriminated against on NextDoor. I have screenshots of everything in case I need to go to the police.
NextDoor routinely censors and suspends non-woke people.
Our local Nextdoor app has been overrun by right wing propaganda and conspiracy theory hounds, and they slam the site with ugly animal exploiting photos and flat earth arguments about everything going on with energy and the climate. If you question their logic, ask for evidence of their position, or request that they stick to the facts, you are vilified and summarily drummed off the site. Worst place in the world to go for anything.
For obvious commercial reasons (being able to put commercials ahead of user-posted content) Nextdoor has decided that it will default to display those postings selected by it's computer, instead of presenting postings in chronological order as it has done in the past. Comments and complaints to Nextdoor have gone unheeded. Nextdoor is still useful for neighborhood information, but they have clearly sold out to their marketing department.
I wrote a general post on the border situation that the Biden Administration doesn't want us to know about. They blocked video sound and then blocked me and said, I was being discriminatory and my account was suspended for 3 days. If you state anything that isn't sunshine, lollipops or rainbow on this sight (just like Facebook) or doesn't go with socialism or the liberal side of things you will be blocked.
After joining this group several months ago, my account was disabled for the following reason: "We disabled your Nextdoor account after we received a report that the name you are using "Imelda Egg" may not be your real name."
Obviously, the objection was raised because of my last name. I was asked to 'prove my identity' by submitting copies of my passport or my drivers license. Does that mean that anyone with a last name such as $#*!... Hamburger... Bacon... and Egg must prove they are not fake? Extremely insulting and discriminating.
I guess this has been going on for a while, makes sense why i am in nextdoor jail just for expressing myself... i guess i cant express anything or say anything without someone getting offended ( by the way i just reported someone parked and blocking my garage) and someone must had not like it because they probably don't even know what in the world is going on and they thought i was being abusive to the person. Don't use it im sure you won't need this app at all.
Nextdoor is a great way to stay informed of happenings in your area. You can plan community events such as Christmas Light Shows Independence Day Parades. Put the word out about external groups or your Church activity and invite the whole neighborhood. It's a great place for recommendations for handyman services or almost anything you can think of. Buy and sell to your neighbors. Look for a missing pet or tell everyone you have a stray. Most of all it builds a sense of community. I say that is the best part of Nextdoor.
I mean one somewhat right leaning comment about how we need to get the homeless situation where I live in check and they have been super harassing me anytime I make a post regardless of what it is even if it's about the vomit they remove it for discrimination this is coming from someone who is an actual immigrant and suffers from actual discrimination. What they're doing is considered discrimination, next-door socks and will literally remove your post just because they don't like you. I made a post with the screenshot. Let's see how long it takes for them to remove it for discrimination
Most of my experiences on Nextdoor have been good but the best example is it led me to the adoption of my dog. Its former owner was going into hospice care and the dog needed to be "re-homed". I am the lucky new owner of this well-mannered, house broken, healthy 7 year old Cocker Spaniel.
How can a rational human being suspend someone for posting a video, saying it was "false or misleading claims and conspiracy theories" when it was an actual live video proving the claim of adverse reactions? I think it's more about keeping us in the dark, than it is about protecting you from misleading claims.
My account was disabled for no reason. I had started a group for my morning devotions. Since religion to them is not allowed on main page. Do all was well then went on just now and found out my account has been disabled for 15 days. They collect your information and sell it. When you try to get off the app on your own your information is still retained.
The only reason that we joined Nextdoor was we were made aware by a fellow neighbor that there was a person that had gone online and was writing very slender's accusations about our family. We had only recently moved into the area when they went online attacking us calling us reprehensible names all due to a small tree branch having fell out of a tree on the property boundaries. The persons had never met us nor tried to contact us in regards and just went on the attack.
At this point I believe this app makes up their own community guidelines. It's very subjective. They will remove and disable your account purely due to disagreeing with what was said. And oh my gosh if you try to voice your opinion about the app and your frustration, forget it. Terrible app overall when one of their posting categories is about safety, but when you post about safety they'll remove your post!
I have been using this site reluctantly for a couple months. My account has been disabled due to Real Name verification. The support seems to come out of Great Britain with no real time support. I have sent numerous emails and have not received any feedback...
So many things went wrong in the first 10 mins of my first post. People laugh reacted at my home being broke into. I was told "not to show my face around town" and I was harassed multiple times for being a woman. In 10 minutes. There is no moderation and no key word ban. I honestly can't believe the developers of this app are okay with the things that go on. I work in UX and this is the first time I have ever written a negative comment like this. Do better - it is obvious things need changed. I was threatened and nothing was done. THREATENED on an APP for NEIGHBORS to help one another. Disgusting.
I complained to Nextdoor after a single user claimed that I don't exist, so they reinstated my suspended account. This was after I posted a notice regarding outright lies being told by another user, who is probably the Nextdoor Lead. So I haven't posted anything since I was reinstated only to find out that I was suspended again because a second user says I don't exist. What was their motivation? This is BS.
Nextdoor sucks. The anonymous Leads decide which voices are heard on Nextdoor. If they don't like what you have to say they just claim that you are using a fake name and you are suspended without any warning. Then Nextdoor wants your ID faxed to them when you complain. Many government agencies use Nextdoor to alert citizens to road closures and emergencies. Now I don't get these notices. Nextdoor will fit in well with the Trump regime, since they decide what is Fake News.
I was recently suspended from Nextdoor without any advance notice. Now they want a photo ID to reinstate my account. My lawyer said not to send them anything. The Lead on my neighborhood site said that some anonymous neighbors claimed that I don't exist, even though I have been on Nextdoor for over three years since they verified my account. Frankly, this is bullshit. Nextdoor members have engaged in racial profiling in the past, and now they are silencing the voices they don't want to hear.
Answer: The negative reviews are honest reactions to being duped into sharing too much personal information (that Nextdoor now owns and will NEVER delete and will continue to sell to advertisers until your dying day) to join a site that seems friendly on the surface, but which does NOTHING to protect users. I was bullied by a convicted murderer, who is a Lead in my neighborhood--and I was banned from the site for complaining. Leads are nothing more than early adopters of the site who have been assigned power over other users so that Nextdoor does not have to police it's own site. In short: No. The negative reviews are not wrong. Heed them! I wish I had known before it was too late!
Answer: Forget about nextdoor and leads. Get a life, a real one. Don't waste your time with toxic online communities that tend to get the worst out of people. My advise is run away while you still have some dignity left.
Answer: Kay is right. That is their policy. However, don't expect them to hold to it. We have leads unfairly removing only some people's comments and Nextdoor does nothing about it. Best bet, dump nextdoor.
Answer: Neighborhood. Rocks is in development. Another 6 months.
Answer: Truth is like oil and water. As long as the scam artist have enough venture capital (other people's money) they will continue to shake the bottle leaving it a murky view obscuring the truth. Run out of cash, they'll be exposed for the incompetent boobs they are and the top dogs will clear out their bank accounts and move on to the next scam. One look at their "leading edge tech" pulled right out of the 1980's is proof enough they will die in the tar pits just like the fellow dinosaurs. Want a state of the art app?

Answer: Dallas, SiteJabber rates it at 16%. It would surely rate lower if there weren't so many fake positive reviews. Folks review Nextdoor either 1 or 5. The fives read like ads about Nextdoor's features and potential. The ones are written by real people and give accounts of how awful their experiences were.
Answer: Several other reviewers on this site have had the same thing happen to them. We have been fully banned from nextdoor (beyond just "suspension"), but they keep our profiles, and sometimes our names still appear in the neighbor registry. They refuse to remove us fully, I suppose, in an attempt to misrepresent our endorsement and participation there. It's clearly unethical, but their TOS states that they can do this, as any nd apologist will point out.
Answer: Here's a tidy answer from corporate... Hi Colleen, Thanks for getting back to me. Our Community Guidelines prohibit posting about Lead activity on the main newsfeed. If your Leads are inactivate and youre concerned about moderation in your neighborhood, you should reach out directly to Nextdoor Support. If you have any specific concerns I can help you with at this time, please let me know. Best, Amanda Nextdoor However, the minute you alert corporate to issues with leads in your community you'll find your account terminated. They are very protective of the information surrounding who really is controlling the activities on the boards. Most people in my community are under the misguided impression that corporate is in control. They don't even consider it is their neighbor who sits in judgement.
Answer: Nextdoor wants your full legal name, house number and address and your email address that they link all together. As an added bonus... They have a little map that you can click on. That way if, OMG, you offend someone the little map leads them straight to your house. Run, do not walk, away from this site. No good comes from Nextdoor.
Answer: Your name and address will be known to everyone who uses the NextDoor application and website. I don't suggest using it. I recently discovered that low income apartments in ghetto areas might be able to use the application to do crime. Car theft, asaaults, kidnapping and just about everything else under the sun.
