I made a mistake by confirming my name and address to your little gang. Please do not try to access any of my personal information. I'm no youngster.

I loved their site before I placed my first ad to market my business. My ad got flagged because I had not registered. They told me to register. So I did. After that they suggested that I seek reviews from my clients to build my reputation. At that point I could no longer navigate their website. Every link lead back to my reputation page. I could not even read stories or look at ads from other neighbors. I contacted them on Facebook to let them know that I wanted to spend advertising dollars on their website. They never got back to me. They do NOT have a way to contact admin. STAY AWAY! These people are incompetent.

The sign up process is a real pain, and whatever device or browser I used, the log in page just kept looping.
Wanted to use the site as I work in community engagement, and Streetlife which was very good, had amalgamated with Next Door. However, bit worried about my personal details being on there, and I figured most people wouldn't bother to go through the sign in process anyway so I gave up.
Facebook groups are infinitely better.

We moved to a new state I was invited to this app was all about getting help in our new area. Yes I knew the app checked my address but had no idea the neighborhood could see it even on private they see you road which ours isn't that long so easy to find you!

Well some lady took what I said about worrying about kids playing in the road the wrong way I was saying I was scared bc cars didn't slow down she seemed off her rocker away but thought I said I wanted to run over the kids. So stupid but anyway she looked me up on Facebook took my pic from there posted a crazy story with my pic, name and address saying she was going to kill me all over her Facebook. She gave all my private info from this app out! Someone seen in and warned me is how I found out she then had others sending me awful messages needless to say the police got involved. Beware folks just because they life in your area doesn't mean they are good people. This app shouldn't list you road and if you don't fix private settings they show your number either way it also gives a little map to your front Door! Facebook is much safer app. Please be careful

The nextdoor in my area is very heavily weighted with neo-con republican/freedom party members. "Make America Great Again" slogans fill many posts, and anyone who objects is reported and threatened with banning. People who tried to announce Town Hall meetings were threatened with banning and told that politics were forbidden. Obviously, that means "any politics that is not uber-conservative. Conservative politics are welcomed, rewarded, and applauded.

On top of that, the private message system is used in the most bullying fashion possible. I complained about our spotty electrical service and was lectured that power is a privilege, not a right (actually, it's a service for which we pay, neither a right nor a privilege... so odd). I had another person lecture me that linemen were risking their lives for me, how dare I complain, as if the electric company was a military service. I've heard of other members getting ethnic slurs and attacks in the private message system.

I have seen the most hideous personal and racial insults on there, right in the public forum. Anyone who is not white and republican is a criminal. It is often repeated that poor people deserve what they get because they're lazy. The cops are "too lax" about letting "the wrong sort" into certain neighborhoods.

It's a terrifying place. I'm assuming the company is run by neo-cons and white supremacists and they appoint their leads accordingly.

I received an invitation to join Nextdoor, which claimed to be from my wife.
When I asked her about it, she said she had indeed accepted an invitation that appeared to be from someone in our neighborhood, but that when the Nextdoor web site asked if she wanted to invite friends, she checked NO.
The email I got said Debbie was inviting me to join, and even had a section at the bottom labeled, "Debbie's personal note:"
This is a complete violation, to imply that part of that message was a personal note from my wife, when in fact, she had nothing to do with it.
This seems shady at best. Very poor business practice.

My experience with Nextdoor.com leads has been repeatedly a bad one, in the Ramona, CA area. Upon investigation I have discovered that Leads are not screened adequately. Anyone, including people with personal problems, could become a lead. Bullying, favoring some discussions over others, cutting off important discussions, unfair treatment, and profiting off being a Lead are just a few examples. Basically we are allowed to ask each other for help with finding a local business or with missing animals. Those are the safe topics. Anything off those is game for having one's wrist slapped. It is boring and like a dictatorship as a result.
