Accused of engaging in "public shaming and personal disputes". I named a person who filed a lawsuit against our school district and made comments in public meetings covered by news media. I did not place this person into the public eyeshe did it herself through those actions.
I merely pointed out the FACTS of public actions and statements already in the public eye naming that person. That person has no right to be "upset" by me doing so, any more than I have a right to be upset about someone pointing out my voluntary statements posted on this or any other website. We should have a right to discuss actual actions and events affecting our community.
Hypothetically, if I had written "this fat old cow" filed suit against our school district... they might have had a point. Didn't happen. Their support review personnel are unskilled in understanding censorship and practice varying application of their rules.
We have a "lead" who has a history of harassing members of our non-profit organization (past and present) and some of our volunteers. He has actively campaigned against issues (a rule violation or leads) and called members at home to harass them about their votes on his push-poll designed to harass our non-profit organization. Of course, there's not much Nextdoor can do because his harassment is mostly out of the Nextdoor forum.
It's now at a point that people are discussing restraining orders due to the non-stop emails, phone calls, maximum length voicemails (several a day) and accosting people in the neighborhood.
There should be term limits on Nextdoor leads. Ours is clearly abusing his authority and treating Nextdoor like his own personal fiefdom.
A toilet of a site that is roughshod by unpaid Gestapo "moderators" imposing their social and political views on others. It is technically illegal as it acts as an agent for local governments and police posting their news and alerts. This puts them into a class that demands reasonable free speech. This is never achieved with the untrained volunteer moderators who then become a groupthink gang not allowing any other moderators outside their clique. They seem to duck out of lawsuits. They are clearly in the wrong.
"To protect your privacy" as they say, they ask for your name and address and publish it in full on their website... to protect your privacy? - what?
Madness... don't go there. You can adjust the settings, i. E. not show your house number - ha! - big deal. Streetlife was wonderful. Nextdoor is frightful.
Recently rejoined a month ago, the jabber on nextdoor is jovial, if you attempt sincere critisizm you will be kick off for days or weeks. There is no logic to the moderator method other than "I am always right" and "if people insult my intelligence or argue my idiotic point, I kick them off the platform!". As others on here have said, they suffer the delusion they are gods. They could not take valid criticism constructively, probably because NextDoor itself is on the precipice of extinction and has no future.
I'm a licensed General Contractor and I joined nextdoor to advertise my business.
I had a nasty client that happened to be on their.
She wrote numerous crazy nasty reviews about me which were all lies.
The lead Nancy Gilberg of 15 aurora ln Salem Massachusetts started attacking me and my business. She harassed me every time I posted something.
She tortured me and horrified me. She was worse than having a tick burrowed into your body.
She got me disabled for life, my girlfriend disabled and her ex-husband and anyone else who mentioned my name.
Nextdoor isn't a friendly family site.
It's a communist gathering of psychos.
The government should shut it down.
Not safe or secure. Very poor design just like Facebook!
Now using US Mail to promote scam. Leads you on to believe you are in one small neighborhood and working with small local company. If you believe your data will be held safe before all advertizers, think again.
Run from this crap!
Kicked off again (2nd time in 6 years). I have no idea why. It seems to me that it's a bogus suspension of my account (4 days) and Nextdoor only points to their community guidelines for reference which is a very broad bible of behavior expectations. They claim I "spammed" which is absolute hogwash. I engage in posts like everyone else on the site. I think their mods need mods!
If enough of your haters complain, Next-door removes you for posting. They side with the complaints allowing these bulls to knock you out of the app... This app has potential but only wants happy go lucky comments and no content that can contribute to help communities.
Extreme censorship shouldn't be a guideline! Investors and homeowners say away from this app
Crap App. Disabled due to strong opinions of what's being posted. Truly an online high-school mentalied app in which your opinions and postings are subject to the very beliefs of the‘volunteers/Leads' managing this site. What a comedy show and if they think that disabling my account will drive a message, then they are wrong. Sharing their tactics with every Social Media site I can find and spreading the word in regards to their censorship. We'll see how long they last. Deleted.
Mighty Max Handyman, owned and operated by Moises Colunga, is top notch! I can not say enough about how smart and good and reliable he is. He took on a tough job that other pros didn't want to do at my home in La Jolla, Ca. He solved the problem and everything is just perfect!
Nextdoor is full of pit nutters showing pictures of their maulers and fishing for compliments. Constant posts of photos of ugly, gaping mouthed creatures "Blu has been in the shelter two years! Won't you take this sweet boy home? Must be only dog, no kids, no cats, no noise, no sudden movements" The Humane Society posts ads pushing dogs bred for killing other dogs as family pets. If you counter any of this harmful propaganda with statistics of the hundreds of children and others being mauled, mutilated and killed, you will be banned permanently.
Nextdoor is a great way to connect with neighbors and others in the area where we live in many different ways, comparing notes (so to speak), offering experiences and recommendations for local merchants and services, sharing information on lost, found, and/or adoptable pets and more, all without the stigma and annoyances of typical social media.
I liked the idea of this site, but immediately upon joining it, I found that the only things neighbors talked about are how they hate the idea that there is occasional a homeless guy at a park in the neighborhood, or to spread gossip about another neighbor.
That might not be nextdoor.com's fault directly, but the spam and badly designed site certainly are. The advertise that they "partner with over 500 police agencies", which apparently means you aren't allowed to ever question the police's use of force or anything else. The site has bad policies all around and I'll be happy when they go under.
Ive posted or commented on everything from dog sitters to plumbers and even local crime and once I posted my opinion on an original post, that was political in nature on how congress might affect our state, I stated my thoughts on our states burdensome taxes and someone reported me and just like that, My comment was in violation of being on a soapbox forget the 20 comments prior to mine what kind of neighbors cant hear an opinion? Not any neighbors I care to converse with so good riddance to them, and Nextdoor
Good: Notices of upcoming events, recommendations for reliable contractors, items for sale.
Bad: "Soap box" on-line behavior in response to something as simple as "my car was broken into last night..." flavored with references to "scum" or "dirt bags" or other people as "POS" combined with not-so-subtle references to the "criminal element" which is now part of our neighborhood population but was once not present (read: people of color). I find all that distasteful and unnecessary, but remain a part of NextDoor due to the "good" still out-weighing the "bad," at least for now.
Incredible. This site is a nest of false crime reports on innocent neighbors. Anyone can get on the site. (False names are common). Then with the benefit of hallucinations, fantasy, and over-the-top paranoia, they can report you (innocent) as a criminal to the whole community and the world through the internet. This site is ruining peoples lives.
Well, here's an idea: a website where anyone can report anyone else as a criminal. No censorship. (The so-called leads are worthless).
Most leads are agitators rather than moderators! Be warned, if someone does like a proposal, word or sentence when you post something, you get scolded, berated or your post(s) gets removed... This is worst than the famous Condo Commando syndrome. You try to post something about your neighborhood to help or warn your neighbors and "BANG", all the goody two shoes and nervous politically misinformed come out of the woodwork to attack you. Sorry but my understanding of this site was neighbors helping neighbors and not a platform for personal views. AGAIN another game of humans acting like humans at their best!
Great tool! The perfect opportunity to get to know the neighbors without being a nosy one. You can ask advice, sell an item, report a lost pet (really important) and even hook up with other neighborhoods for extended networking. A must have!
Just got kicked off for stating that "calling the police on someone walking down the street when bars close is wrong" apparently that breaks the Be Kind rule... Aparrently if a Moderator disagrees with you. You get the boot and your opinion labeled as not nice. What a joke. The whole thing is filled with people trying to keep 50 stray cats and people complaining their unlocked car in a high crime area shouldn't get broken into. Now I somewhat think its common sense not to leave things in your car and to lock it. So I will look elsewhere.
Then on top of it people get to stay on after calling whites and asian slurs... apparently thats not racist!
I included a photo of a conversation the "moderators" left up. After someone went on a rant and was confronted.
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.
