Nextdoor

I've used this site for several years and it's been a great help to me, allowing me to share items I'm getting rid of, ask to borrow some folding chairs, announce fun events, etc. I was surprised to see it getting negative reviews, and when I read them I learned that they were almost all because people in their neighborhood were behaving badly in the group-- something you run into pretty much anywhere on these kinds of lists. Good "list etiquette" is always going to be necessary, but that's a people issue, not a site issue. This site does a great job of creating better community, fostering sharing, and helping neighbors to support each other in many ways. Be nice, leave your controversial politics at home, and you'll get great value from this.

Left wing politics at NextDoor
Suppress free speech. Takes family feud to the next level. I see little value from angry mobs of activists
Putting forth their opinions and gossip instead of
Insight based on facts and research.

I was locked out because I posted things that were true & backed up by med reports & law enforcement. Someone took offense. They have become the thought & speech police since becoming part of FB. True statements are not allowed if it goes against liberal talking points.

While Nextdoor is a useful platform in theory, its system for reporting allegedly "inappropriate" comments is laughably biased toward the far left. Anything other than wholehearted support for the BLM "movement" gets you kicked off the site, while viciously anti-police and anti-white commentary is left untouched. Entirely factual posts regarding national and local crime statistics are also pushed down the memory hole when they conflict with the desired narrative of saintly minority victims and brutal, oppressive law enforcement.

I signed up, thinking a great way to know what's going on in the neighborhood. Mainly for Problems like B&E's, Vandalism, Jockey Boxing, car theft, etc. It's nothing like that! Overwhelmed by ignorant people, airing all kinds of pointless info.( ie "My neighbors plays his music too loud). If you want to join an online "Sewing Circle" with a bunch of Karen and Todd's griping about F-All. Do yourself a favor and avoid it, you'll hate people even more!

Nextdoor is a stupid app for idiots to complain about petty issues. If you bring up any important topics such as the mismanagement of your HOA, you will be blocked! They also won't give any information on how you supposedly violated their community standards!

You can post something that in no way violates Nextdoor rules and get blocked. I posted factual public information after another user accused me of unethical conduct at my job and I got blocked for merely replying with facts to clear up the issue. I think all the complaints must be sent to somebody's three year old child. And there's no oversight of the Leads, so don't expect any help from them. We should all find a better app for sharing with our neighbors.

I used a pen name because this site is really nothing more than neighbors complaining about each other.

Account disabled for not using "real name"

Sorry, stupid site. If I have to live next door to some of these jerks you don't get my real name.

Useless group of Kyle and Karen constantly complaining and hypocritical by their own statements. If you call them out on it or their misinformation and lies they get butt hurt & report you so your account gets disabled. Really shows how terrible many neighbors are.

Signed on after finding an invite in my mail box. Wished I done some research first! Posted a comment, not critical but just adding to a conversation. The next day it was gone! Keep getting emails asking if I know someone and can approve them, but I can't because this is a rural area and many neighbors are the "wave as we drive by" kind. So I tried to contact them, no info on their sites about email or phone numbers. Googled and found both number and email. Tried to call (their recommendation) and got response "can't connect me right now". Tried twice, in case I had a number wrong. So I sent an email, and guess what? It was returned,"*******@nextdoor" could not be found. What a joke. Hope I can remove myself, before the abuse starts!
