Nextdoor King blocked me because I posted an individual, Trevor MacDonald, was "Dangerous and Mental" Well, he is.
Trevor MacDonald is a Homeless (thought Nextdoor was supposed to check addresses) individual who has set several fires in Portland, who believes he is God, who is Anti-Government, parrots other people's experiences and then argues, etc. BUT YOUR Administrators blocked ME?
I will never use Nextdoor again and I intend to post more than 1 review, as YOUR Administrators were notified accordingly. The VERY minimum, I would like a SINCERE apology. The most Important is that NextDoor does NOT respect the Safety of their neighborhoods, and should probably be discontinued or have FCC oversight.

Nextdoor uses volunteer "Leads" to moderate content on Nextdoor. These Leads could be pedophiles, rapist or extremist with an agenda. Nextdoor provides NO vetting or training of Leads!
What a pathetic business plan. Use unqualified, unpaid volunteers! And ND still can't make a profit.
My local Police Department advised that it would be a good idea to describe the content of a video from my security system to make neighbors aware of 2 males casing vehicles and building in darkness at 1:30AM.
Since I rarely review Nextdoor due to the overwhelming gossip and little to no information, this was the first time I had attempted to post anything in several months. When attempting to post, I learned, that after several years and having been "verified", my account was suspended for "violating community standards". It seems, setting my profile to use my initials when posting and not my full name, which is readily available on my profile, is unacceptable. In addition, it appears I had the audacity to post Internationally available information, published by other countries about Covid, that did not agree with the party line from Dr. Fauci and the CDC.
So just, FYI, if it isn't woke, it makes no difference how important the information is, you will never see it.
A bully posted comments and my responses were deleted without anyone reaching out to me. My comments were respectful and did one contain any obscenities while allowing my bully to say whatever she wanted. This site is worse than Twitter
I tried three times with different photos to go with my post, but none worked. The problem is it didn't even tell you what's required (or not), and you didn't know anything is wrong till seeing your post with a broken photo sign. Un-install is the only way to handle this junk.
Don't get me wrong the idea and the user interface of this platform is great however the community is just horrific.
And the issue was next door support is that it allows hypocrisy.
I don't even know what I've been banned for but I did not bully or call anybody names quite the opposite I was speaking out the truth and making people take responsibility for their actions instead of listening to them whine and complain about gas prices by an administration and all of the other economic changes. Apparently somebody did not like that and reported me I don't know why next door would allow the report to come through and I find that very hypocritical.
The bad guys aren't the ones who are encouraging people to stand up for the truth and to take responsibility for their own life. The bad guys are the ones who are coming on the platform $#*!ing whining and crying about politicians politics and overall life circumstances and all the things they have to pay for or they believe they have to pay for when they actually do not.
I came into this platform as a neutralizer offering practical Creative solutions for the community. Along with logical reasonable intuitive and futuristic approach to solve problems. As a result I was bullied slandered misunderstood and projected onto.
And when I expressed myself in self-defense they banned my account for 3 days.( See the pictures I posted with my responses to these people that apparently looked like violations to them) I was being direct not rude not aggressive but honest and to the point. I cut through bull$#*! and I do not sugar coat or walk on eggshells before people. I value myself and I love myself enough to project that into the world anywhere I go. And you should do the same if somebody violates your sense of stability. The responses you seen photos were to name calling comments such as "stupid, cry baby etc" basically two bullies who came on my intellectual comments and started trolling them...
An agent named Ashley was not helpful at all, and just kept repeating that it is a violation even though I had explained myself three $#*!ing times when I shouldn't have. That it was a response to bullying. And I'm not going to keep my mouth shut. Something tells me this is a very biased platform that just likes to keep people silent, and collect all of the trash in one place.
That is not right and it is not something I would ever want to be involved in again. Enjoy your toxic pool of community on your own. I will take my intelligence elsewhere where it is not just valued and appreciated but also compensated.
This app is worthless. People piss and moan over every little bull $#*! and totally lie about their neighbors. Only thing I can see it good for is finding a lost or found animals. Better off not having period. I have deleted this crap app.
Nextdoor is nothing more than Facebook 2.0. Facebook now has some kind of business partnership with Nextdoor. The regularity to which Nextdoor's biased and Left leaning leads censor, silence, oppress, harass, and ban/suspend their conservative participants is beyond measure! I was just suspended for 15 days for merely saying that some of their unnamed biased leads were constantly deleting the entire posts, and/or comments of the Right. According to them, we are not allowed to disclose what is being done to us. How dare we criticize them for violating our First Amendment rights (LOL). In other words, we have no due process. Quite shocking indeed! Someone pinch me, I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. Nextdoor has deployed the nefarious tactic of letting their unhinged Left participants troll in our private conservative groups, start a fight, and then run to their biased leads to get us deleted, and/or banned. Are we living in America still? Nextdoor obviously does not believe in the Free Speech of their Right participants. Shame on them!
It could be good, but ultimately 3 people Leads/Reviewers control the the convo in the area. When you question why they have shut down a conversation, the get you kicked out for "discussing moderation".
It is like Animal Farm on the Isle of Lilliput. If that is your idea of community, then Nextdoor is just the place for you. They may promote you to Neighbourhood Czar. But if you enjoy good banter amongst neighbours discussing local issues, then be prepared to be booted from Nextdoor.
Someone posted a very Un-American view on one of the post. I responded to the post. I am the one that got kicked off. This is a very very liberal site and if you have any other views that are not and lying with theirs or are not liberal enough they will kick you off. Really crappy admin. But if you are a liberal, this is the site for you! They love to hear anything on American on here. I would not be surprised if this company is not based out of china.
When you need help with dealing with an abusive landlord, you will be met with nothing but hostility intent on driving you out of your neighborhood by the likes of California's hivemind. When you call out the abuse by the membership, YOU get moderated and suspended.
I had requested help on escaping the landlord when I desperately needed it and was, before the request was of course being deleted, instead met with accusations of being DRUNK. Sorry, Richmond, CA region, but I don't drink alcohol and I have reason to not want to. You, however, want to be drunk and have my parents' house, already a mess caused by pluming that wasn't my parents' fault before the red tape complicates things, being the symbol of your sins to show for it.
It just amazes me how these people think that everybody living in this God awful disconnect already full of territorial paranoia could make a good society. NextDoor definitely enables this mess to continue via the same toxic hivemind.
Was banned the first time for commenting about homeless people leaving trash at their camps. Was warned in an email by a company employee that I should not have allowed a post referring to "illegal aliens". (I am a community moderator). "Illegal alien" is literally the legal definition according to our own country. I was banned again for linking to a Sonoma County official website to Covid data and asking about the difference between California cases and Florida cases. Apparently, even with official data and proof, they do not want any dissent on their misinformation campaign about Covid. I am done. Account deleted.
Nextdoor is euphemism for something dark. Run by leader system. More like a fasc ist system. Waste of time. Stay with Facebook and Twitter. Nextdoor is poking into your local life and undermines it. Bad.
If you report a lead for abuse, they tell the lead you reported them, which sets you up for more abuse.
Our Leads are HOA board members who are being questioned about various issues such as $50k missing, hundreds of thousands of dollars in no-bid contracts being awarded, etc. Several of us who have referenced the issues and asked questions have been singled out for retaliation, slander, etc. leads/HOA board members have — without explanation or saying a word — arbitrarily and capriciously deleted users' posts to dishonestly manipulate a narrative. Several community members have been suspended without having violated Nextdoor TOS, when in fact it is the Nextdoor Leads and community reviewers (former board members and relatives) who are violating TOS. RUN, do not walk, from this toxic site
I've been on and off NextDoor a few times over the years. The site seems to only exist for two reasons:
1. To allow people to vent, attack, scream at, etc. their neighbors. It's just like when reality tv shows cast people for conflict: NextDoor wants people arguing with each other so they get traffic to the site.
2. Why do they want traffic to the site? For their paid advertisers, of course. On NextDoor, you are swamped with generic ads that have little (if anything) to do with your neighborhood.
Interestingly, if someone in the neighborhood advertises a service, it gets deleted quickly because it's "advertising." Well... at least it's advertising that isn't paying big bucks to NextDoor. So literally, the kids who are selling lemonade to raise money for a friend with cancer: their mom's post gets deleted. But if I want 4% off Jiffy Lube, NextDoor has a coupon code for me.
NextDoor promotes the toxic behavior among neighbors because they know people will eat it up. The give all kinds of woke, upper-East-coast sap about how it's all about "community," and their "standards." What it's really all about is you making money.
If you like arguing with your neighbors.
If you want to become enemies with the nice old lady down the block.
Then you want to go to NextDoor.
Otherwise, just go talk to your neighbors.
I was banned TWICE for using a fake name. I cancelled my personal and business accounts and withdrew a $20,000 advertising campaign. Any other user can call you a fake or say you are an anti semite if they don't like your opinion and you are gone. I told them to piss off.
I was a member of Nextdoor for about three years, until being banned for one year due to the comment I made below. Yet, when a Lead sent me a Private Message (below), he was banned for about four months, came back and is STILL a Lead.
At the very least, I would have thought ND would have stripped his "Lead" status after saying what he did to me. But no, that despicable person's "punishment" was a slap on the wrist in my opinion, compared to mine.
Some crazy person posted about clocking the speed, because doesn't everyone have their own damn radar gun, of a lady and then posted pictures of her. This is insane. Mind your business people. BTW - the driver was only going 43 mph in a 30, for the love.
Multiple posts were removed with no notice or reason. None actually violated community guidelines or user agreement (my lawyer checked). Claims to be a platform, but curates content. I see a lawsuit in their near future. For the record, removed posts were asking for pointers to prevent or treat a rash my son got from chewing/suckinf on masks (he's 6) and direct quotes of CDC website (with source links)
I live in the Upper North Shore NSW Australia. Recently Nextdoor informed me they had received a complaint from a neighbor that I was not whom I claimed. Yet, at initial registration with Nextdoor I had provided my full name and full address. Nextdoor have asked me to provide ID such as a passport or a driver's license. As both these documents have my photograph I will not provide them, but rather a fee notice from Sydney Water or a rate notice from the local council, minus account ID. In my opinion the provision of ID with photograph is contrary to the Australian Privacy Principles. The complaint was received shortly after I posted a description of seeing a small boy run across a street comprised of heavy traffic, including school buses between two well-known private schools. If Nextdoor complain about the ID they give me no choice but to immediately file complaint against the company to the Australian Privacy Commissioner and if necessary take the company to the Australian Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). Clearly, as I gave the correct information upon registration the complaint is malicious. I have also provided relevant intelligence to NSW Police. It is extremely concerning that a US social networking company de-activates an account on the basis of a complaint without evidence and then demands personal ID CONTRARY, in my opinion to the Australian Privacy Principles. The executive of Nextdoor need to engage in a review of their guidelines before they find themselves fined and ordered to engage in such a review.
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.
