Nextdoor

If your politics don't agree with those of the ‘leads' or moderators and someone reports you for a minor issue (sarcasm, for example) the leads will silence you for a length of time (three days, in my case). You cannot be ‘uncivil' or even ‘unkind' - and the leads make that judgement. If they don't like you, or your politics, you're done. No explanation given.

To give power of censorship and deleting comments to just anyone is useless. Leads, whom we dont ever know, have the ability to navigate their own ways with their own agenda, deleting peoples posts and comments. USELESS! You cant express a concern you have with neighbors and if you do, you get deleted. Nothing ever gets resolved on these sites when it comes to issues because the so called leads get their feelings hurt and delete posts and comments instead of letting people work out the issues. And who picks these leads? No one knows! I hate Facebook but I hate this site more. One star is too good of a review.

Even if you like to civilly debate your neighbors on national politics, you cannot present any balanced political ant-Trump postings, without getting banned. This site is a cess-pool of rightwing maniacs here in Huntington Beach, CA.

It appears that there are 'members' employed or affiliated by NextDoor in some manner, who police. These members are special. They have power to flag and ban over anything THEY might 'think' is a violation of ND terms. I've had this happen 2 times now, and both times had NO idea why I was being restricted! Lol,

IMO, NextDoor will kill itself with these ridiculous Kindergarten level tactics. We are adults. When you allow bored, haggard old cat ladies to administer your Social media site, ridiculous things are going to happen. This appears to be the case for NextDoor.

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.

Nextdoor is the place to be if you want to keep current on what is happening in your area. You can find great recommendations from your neighbors on things like home repairs, lawn care, day care, restaurants, etc. Local law enforcement and government agencies also post on the site which is helpful in keeping current on important developments. Love my Nextdoor community!

Their real estate advertising is terrible. Nobody uses it and they removed the function to stop advertising. You will be paying for months of zero leads! Their youtube video on how to unsubscribe from paid advertising is wrong, following the directions does not work. They keep on charging me month by month with no phone number to call and talk to. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

This app promotes bullying and racist views. If you post honest information that other uses report as a violation, you will be banned, while users who promote false information remain unmitigated. I posted a picture of a man on my own private property in the early morning hours, trespassing, and did not note anything about his race and I was attacked by other users assuming his race and I got banned. I attempted to appeal my ban and I was ignored and permanently banned. This is not a community app, it is a biased and racist app. I had dozens of supporters and still got banned

I was stating facts about a dog and trying to understand this behavior that just all of a sudden appeared after days of being on the app. I was told i was mental, they then stated a slight comment about my parents, and the lead was a part of it. Nextdoor blocked me and did nothing about the bullies.
I even made a general post before being deleted about how nextdoor was allowing bullies.
There is no physical phone number to call just the email that they don't read but will reply with their guidelines WHICH not even they follow.
Screw nextdoor. Ill speak to whomever wants to hear it i have screenshots. If you ate a bully nd is for you, if you're not STAY AWAY.
ZERO STARS

Nextdoor was being used very successfully in our rural neighborhood until one lead, a neighbor with a history of problematic behavior, deleted a number of appropriate and civil posts while writing highly inflammatory posts herself and blocking others from commenting on them.

Three neighbors began correspondence with Nextdoor support asking that the lead in question be relieved of her duties. We provided clear examples of the leads transgressions and our correspondences were clear and polite.

We were told the lead was warned but shall remain as a lead. Nextdoor is not actively being used in our community anymore. Very, very unfortunate.

Nextdoor.com seemed like a good idea for people in the community to share events, concerns and fellowship. In the last few months, the site has become a political forum. Discussion will eventually become disagreements, which will result in a hostile community. I am discontinuing my membership before cliques and factions start to develop in my neighborhood.

Never needed it in the past, don't need it now. What ever happened to taking a walk in your community, to get to know your neighbors.
