Multiple shadowy neighbors of mine "reported" me for a message I sent that was completely innocuous. I get a message that I had been "reported", and am "in violation". Still can't figure out what the problem was. But totally ruined my day.

Neighbors who know me, my name, where I live "reported" on me, and I was chastised. Their identity I know not -- they may be friends & acquaintances, haven't a clue. For what reason, i don't really understand.

It has created a totally uneasy feeling for me in this neighborhood now. Feels like a gestapo ghetto now.

They sent me an email stating someone in my neighborhood was inviting me to their network. This was completely false. It was misleading spam. Once I "signed up" I saw that there was no invite and the site proceeded to try to get me to set up the network for my neighborhood. I signed out halfway through the setup process and they still sent me a postcard with an activation code and continuously emailed me trying to get me to finish the network setup. I have now unsubscribed from their emails twice and deactivated my account. Let's see if they actually leave me alone.

Explain the difference between SCIENTOLOGY and NEXTDOOR.
Thats what I thought. Its a CULT APP!
You have a cult leader with rules and laws that are straight out of nazi gemany and that leader controls the group and if you do not wish to be part of that "group" or "click" you are shunned like a 15 yr old pregnant Mennonite. Nextdoor claims to do good for the neighborhood but does nothing but cause conflict just like scientology saying they help people and cause nothing but conflict. But hey as long as someone is making that almighty dollar who gives a $#*!.

... inadvertently walking into one of those weird cults where everybody smiles all the time. I posted my concerns about privacy and the fact I was encouraged to nag my neighbours to hand over all their details so we could reach some magic number of participants in 10 days or... heaven knows what might happen. And the ONLY responses I got were 'that's fine isn't it?' 'Just a normal message'. No dissenters AT ALL. No opinions - just the warm embrace of the 'converted'. I got out double quick!

I wish there was a minus star rating.
Streetlife covered all of Sutton Coldfield and 3,135 people were members.
We had great debates, shared knowledge etc.
Nextdoor - Tiny adjacent areas - I have 410 contacts. Hopeless.
Repeated requests via email to please broaden areas have fallen on deaf ears.

Can't leave nextdoor quick enough. Dictatorial. Big on control of your personal info. Also wants to control what you post. I dont mean abusiveness just real everyday stuff. Try posting somthing about crime or antisocial behaviour.No way. Let's all be positive and unrealstic. Streetlife was really useful, promoted neighbourliness was friendly and fun. Not nextdoor. Too big, too rigid, too boring but very big on wasting my time. Best advice I have. Leave now.

I loved Streetlife and only wish I had discovered it earlier - I have found it sooo useful. I started to move to Nextdoor and got asked so many questions about my location and immediate neighbours that I gave up... am now very grateful that i did and hope that the limited information that they DID get from me is limited enough that I am NOT a member - if so then will have to manage to extract myself. It all sounds a totally illegal setup. Beware!

I joined Nextdoor when Streetlife was bought by them in Feb 2017. I have just deactivated my account after repeated attempts via the support email to get them to remove my street name from my profile. Nextdoor simply have no respect for people's privacy wishes. For the short time I was on the site it was apparent that other people were equally horrified that they had no control over the information displayed about them. Many people changed to false names (on Streetlife the convention was first name and initial of surname) to avoid their full first name and surname being displayed. Simply not good enough. Avoid.

I am still in shock how a company can completely takeover and then impose it's draconian rules and stipulations for nothing more than profit. Not only does this remove any form of individual control over data but flies in the face of neighbourliness and community.

Currently trying Kahuti.com, who are keen to hear what users actually want.

For anyone who hasn't seen it there is a petition against the https://www.change.org/p/uk-parliament-close-the-uk-door-on-nextdoor-and-remove-the-welcome-mat?recruiter=*******&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

The site post everybody;s address! is that even legal??
I joined and was immediately attacked for posting the truth and facts of a crime!
then the lead guy telling me to back off! really? why because people cant handle the truth? they want every thing to be on the positive side! but you cant have one without the other! my neighborhood is full of thugs, animal/child abusers/drunks/druggy's domestics, traffic violations, and zoning and bulding code violations!
so how are you going to clean up the neighbor hood if you cant post negative things about the neighbor's!
what a joke! I only lasted two days and closed my account! not going to deal with these clowns!
next I noticed that if you are signed in and you close out the browser, when you come back you wil still be signed in! huh? that aint right! and posting addresses, not good! just a matter of time before the thugs latch on to this program and use it to attack elderly people at their homes! or worse!
the idea is good, but you have to have the good with the bad and they dont want anything to do with negative so nothing will ever improve!
Beware!
