Nextdoor

It has the potential to be a useful resource for keeping posted on neighborhood events and happenings but unfortunately attracts too many dysfunctional busybodies who have way too much time on their hands.
Endless rants and complaining from bitter hateful people about the most trivial things with nasty and mean spirited insults back and forth. It discourages participation or involvement in even the most benign topics of discussion like "if you're not picking up your dogs poo after it goes in the grass you are a vile^%*#^*^& horrible person not worthy of the air you breath." It's scary to read some of the comments of people who "want to pass laws" to persecute those who don't agree with them. (God forbid you bring up anything remotely related to politics or religion!) So, it ends up being a magnet for opinionated self appointed "geniuses" who bully the dissenters right off the platform.

Normal, balanced people with a life will have little time for this soap box.

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!

I love this app. Not only is current news available, many lost dogs and cats have been found by the community. This app is also wonderful to ask for help or volunteer to help someone else. Neighbors are so helpful in recommending business services.

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 find Nextdoor to be a very good method to stay in contact with neighbors. In our neighborhood we had an entrance sign that was unreadable, and not a good start to any entering the neighborhood. I posted a question regarding this, and it generated several responses. I saw that people were interested in doing something about it, and we held a meeting to discuss it. One thing led to another and the result was that we started a project to improve the sign, including raising funds for it. After several months we had a first class attractive sign that enhanced the neighborhood. Before and after pictures are posted below. This is just one example of communication. More and more have joined the online site. We use it to post notices of yard sales, warnings of criminal activity, etc. The one thing I dislike is that commercial entities post on it. Aside from this, it has proven to be very useful to us.

I really enjoy this neighborhood social media site and look at it daily. I enjoy hearing about neighborhood events that I might have otherwise missed, people's business recommendations, critical situations, items for sale or even free, and I even got a side job about 2 weeks ago from it. However, there are a few very contentious individuals who seem to just want tp profess their knowledge of ALL things and start a huge disagreement. I do not appreciate their comments, but I realize we take the bad with the good in our lives, and I try to just ignore the rude and hurtful comments.

Overall I like the website, but the speech control is out of control!. Also, the ADs are super annoying. I rarely go on Nextdoor anymore.

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.

1. There is this one guy, that JUMPS on everyones comments and basically tells them how stupid they are
2. I am not sure because of there vague misleading rules but possibly i said what a RIP OFF Angi's list was ( which is true) and they put me in the penalty box
3. Then out of no where i was permanently barred from because when i put my name in their app i left off the last 3 letters ( because the spy on our comments and sell our personal demographics/info to ANGI's list and many others Spoke to an employee and he was as useless as their app

Censoring, liberal, woke ideology is promoted. You almost forget you are in america...but if trump wins...we can sue the medias that do that...

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.

Horribly racist & useless.
I Haven't sold a thing on its marketplace, which has a free section that people post items with price sheets in the pictures, with a listing price of free, violating terms. I have been advertising on their platform for over a year as an operations manager, and as an individual, and got zero business leads.
It's discrimination, and your account will be suspended to argue that there is no white privilege, only american privilege. I'm told white privilege is a thing, and many people on the app openly embrace that anti-american ideology, but you can't post your opinion, at least not if youre white. It is somehow discrimination to inform your neighbors that there are illegal aliens living in the woods, with a link to the news article explaining that 3 have already murdered one citizen, while another was just found dead hiking, and let's not forget the woman found dead on the ma/pa trail! Or any of the children raped, murdered, some even in human sacrificial executions, in this country, usa, by illegal aliens the democrats have allowed into our country.
They actively censor speech that they don't like, so unless you lost a pet, this app is worthless!
