If you state your opinion and it isn't socialist libtard demorat you will be kicked off. You aren't supposed to post politics, but if it is socialist libtard or Trump Derangement Syndrome it's okay. If you try to rebutt it they will ban you. Not a site that is true to it's description.
Had a liberal arguing with me and telling me how stupid I was and how much smarter she was because of her college degree! They deleted my account but left the Liberal problem maker on!
Nextdoor, refuses to allow you to choose to be unlisted in their directory. In addition, they try to force you to reveal your full legal name, disregarding that you have been a victim of identity theft and stalking. They are completely violating any right to privacy and in doing so promote nefarious activity by the bullies on the site. I have only posted 2 things in 5 years, which was a man trespassing through my backyard, and someone allowing their dog to take a larger than normal poop on my yard without even attempting to clean it up. Nextdoor's response was to deactivate my account for using an aliases and remove the posting of the video of the man walking through my backyard. (Note I have dense woods in my backyard and a creek and there are two paths 3 houses down in either direction he could've/should've used.
I asked for a list of the community monitors and the list showed a juvenile boy across the street from me with 2 community monitor accounts. This boy has flown drowns over my backyard several times, tares up my grass with his go-cart, goes in the woods behind my house and stares at me with his little friend. It is highly likely that the man walking through my backyard was his little friends older brother and they did that to intimidate me as I am a single female living alone. And likely why he was so quick to have my video removed. Nextdoor is a platform for bullies to not only harass you but to become community monitors and silence/censor you when you call them on their game. Best to turn the other cheek and stay off of Nextdoor b/c it allows them a way in.
I used to think I was surrounded by a wonderful community—before nextdoor.com, that is. Now I'm afraid to go outside. Just kidding! This site seems to be chock full of angry, entitled people—the type that cliches are made of. You know, the curmudgeon that raises his fists at his neighbors, and the officious grandstander, and the Karens that clutch their pearls in indignance.
If you are like me, and would rather live your life with your face in the sun, oblivious to the dark energy that lurks in the shadows of your community, don't bother with this site. What will you find if you do sign up? Nextdoor offers a heaping helping of "I never!" posts and officious finger-wagging—and in between, an inordinate number of desperately-seeking-housing posts, people asking total strangers for handouts, and blatant self-promotion that somehow gets by the moderators.
I joined for a few months, but then found myself getting sucked in and wasting my time reading nonsense. It's an unhealthy environment that often left me shaking my head. I originally joined to do some paid digital marketing. Unfortunately, Nextdoor.com can't even get that right. Their system had many glitches, and after initially apologizing for the technical difficulties on their end, their tech support simply dropped the ball. Oh well. I'll spend my marketing $$ elsewhere.
Next door use to be a Great Service, but as of lately other groups have seem to taken over and it is no longer a group to be respected. They are a local Twitter or Facebook and is getting worse... Just by asking the question "WHY" when it comes asking why someone is not happy about something, I get banned. I said and did nothing wrong. When nextdoor started, they were great, they were the best... Now they are the worst. They have been taken over by people who want to state their views as fact and dismiss eveyone elses view, and nextdoor allows that. You ask someone why and you get suspended.
Good Bye Next Door.
This site is loaded with scams very few legitimate topics like lost pets other then that people are just looking for $$$
This site appeals to the people with Gladys Kravitz Syndrome. Paranoid screaming Karens.
The say not to discuss political issues, however if it's someone praising President Biden for his recent visit, they turn the blind eye. God forbid you engage in the post with even a mild mannered criticism of a Democrat. At that point it becomes political, they leave up the original post (which is against their community guidelines to begin with) and remove the negative comments that go against the Führer. Then they suspended my account. Liberating best describes my feelings toward the suspension.
Another San Francisco tech based company. Go figure.
I regret ever submitting my information to join Nextdoor. Not only do they actively monitor and control comments on their site, but they also strictly utilize their so-called "community standards" to enforce their liberal point of view. Step out of line with their ideology (much if it left to the discretion of some loony snowflake) and BOOM, your account is suspended for however long they choose. They are as bad as twitter only worse since with Nextdoor, you also find out just how ignorant and foolish some of your neighbors are.
Nextdoor needs to hire new website designers. The lagging, jumping all over the place while freezing up, and the constant reloading that occurs after the entire page freezes makes use of the website almost impossible. The further down the feed you go, the more chances of lagging. Plus, as you scroll down the site, it freezes while you are reading, then loads an ad which pushes the post down the page and off the screen, between every single post! So frustrating to try to use as intended! It is to the point that I get so annoyed with the freezing problem, that I end up closing the browser window and I reopen it again, just to have to scroll forever to get back where I was, and everything is out of order again.
The privacy concerns are questionable as well. On a site where people are constantly recording and reporting crimes occurring in their area, forcing users to use their real legal name forces users to decide between helping their neighbors (putting themselves at risk for retaliation from the criminals they are openly reporting about) or not saying anything. I personally experienced a guy showing up at my apartments looking for the guy that recorded him stealing a car. He threatened to kill everyone in the complex, and our pets, and he did end up putting nails under all our tires. We only knew it was him because he bragged to nearby neighbors about it. The police know to not disclose witness information to offenders until after charges are pressed. Nextdoor needs to learn how to follow suit and protect their users.
But sadly there is no point in tackling the privacy issue until they hire a website designer to allow users proper access to their site.
Fix these obvious problems, and I will change my review.
Cesspool of every horrible person you could imagine.
The company fanes Comunity but what actually happens is packs of male and female Karens come spreading misinformation and hate. If you mentions this to a moderator (the same ilk) you have your account put in time out. There is no appeal process. No way to contact the company.
Nextdoor spreading hate, racism, bigotry and misinformation with a passion!
While this site has its redeeming qualities unfortunately they bad outweighs the good. Anyone posting anything conservative gets mocked, criticized and reported to Moderators that then suspend your account for questionable reasons, then suspend your account indefinitely. It is San Francisco based imposing its selective enforcement of its own ambiguous policies, it's deliberate censorship. Hope Elon buys them too.
They banned me because I shared simple facts. This seems to be the norm now with big tech companies if users don't share the same mindset and politics. Too bad this company will go to hell.
Another great tax perp session with Madan Arora. I highly recommend him! Be sure to see him this tax season.
Causes more division among neighbors than unity. They are more dedicated to promoting political positions than in being unbiased and giving neighbors a safe platform to stay informed.
I'm a member of a HOA in Florida. I have attached just 1 example of how a lead has responded to my post. It is very hurtful to tell me to move, say I must feel shifty, and call me Karen. My name is not Karen. I've heard from a very good source that our board is doing some pretty shady things. If they are true, it would be totally illegal and possible jail time. I never said anything was true because I don't know but I do believe it is or I wouldn't have posted. I'm very concerned about our community. I'm afraid of retaliation from Nextdoor and the leads. Although I shouldn't care since the reviews I'm reading are all bad and I see their credit rating on better business bureau is not good. However I would like to have my freedom of free speech without slandering anyone. I have never spoke to anyone like that on Nextdoor, never called names, and a lot of my posts were taken down even if I didn't violate any of their rules. I also see that you aren't able to tell the truth speak negatively of the vaccine even if you know in fact it caused an injury or death.
This app is fine with you if you are wealthy and white. If you are neurodiverse, a senior citizen, a person of color or disabled they will likely take down many of your posts and restrict your account. The people who run this app have decided that anyone who cares about anyone else and wants to do something to help vulnerable populations is "political". I am sick of anyone who believes that caring for others is political. It's not. Even animals know they are stronger together. Are they political because they help one other? How ridiculous these people are. These stupid rich people who think they can define what is political and what isn't? They removed a post about seniors protecting themselves against their medicare being privatized without their consent. REMOVED IT. What BS.
This app is not managed well enough to keep users safe. I thought there were admins keeping things respectful until I was bullied and the "leads" did nothing about it, thus encouraging it to continue.
NextDoor allows posting of employment by members that violates EOC laws despite my complaint to them.
While i am grateful to have made real friends, no one seems to be in charge and suspensions occur abruptly and without cited reasons. The Guidelines are randomly enforced - or not at all - so you get nasty, mean-spirited name calling, lies, and false accusations. This social platform sounds inviting, but it's not good for your mental health. There are so many others to choose from. This should not be one of them.
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.
When neighbors start talking, good things happen.
