Nextdoor

If one posts, or contributes to another's post, You run the risk of being trolled and harassed on Nextdoor.com. I would consider Nextdoor.com the most unfriendly, unsafe site online right now. The trump cult has taken this site over. Their intention is to create distention, which they definitely do. There are few if any leads/monitors on Nextdoor, so don't expect anyone stopping the viral attacks. On Nextdoor.com anyone can get away with anything pretty much. I would stay far from this site. Nextdoor.com is NOT safe!

I am the owner of a local business. I tried Nextdoor's advertisement. Even after confirming that I do have a legit company, I do not have access to see clients post or have interaction with them at all. It says that my ads have hits but have not had any hits on my website from Nextdoor which is strange considering my website is all over my ads. This makes me believe that I am getting inaccurate reports of how many people are actually seeing my ads. Nextdoor is not user friendly. You will not be able to reach any support.

Our Point Venture, Texas neighborhood lead Janice Cox has been a nazi about anyone promoting anything in our community website yet she gets to promote her website, members have complained to Nextdoor.com many times about her conflict of interest and abuse of her position but they don't care, luckily most of the neighbors think Nextdoor is a joke and dont take anything they see posted on ND seriously but come on! You can see pictures of her promotion at www.pointventure.co (not dot com) Gotta love small town news!

I posted a response to someone who felt that calling the coronavirus "Chinese" was racist. I said I did not believe it anymore than I would believe calling German Measles was anti-German or Avian Flu meant one was against birds. I also pointed out that all the media had reported the virus as being Wuhan, Chinese, etc., and then had backtracked when they were accused of racism. She said they realized they made a mistake. I said no, they did not make a "mistake", but knuckled under to political correctness. She reported me and next-door removed my post along with a link to their community guidelines. This is the epitome of nonsense. I left the site altogether.

I tried to stay on Nexdoor but after about 4 months I had to let it go. Some of the leads in our neighborhood think they are Gods or something and try to control valid and legitimate conversations. Sometimes my posts would get deleted for no reason due to one leads constant trolling of my posts, none of which violated any stupid community standard - whatever that is. I'll stick to talking to my neighbors in person. Don't use this app. It is worthless.

Biased "neighbor reviews". Not easy to use. Info can be planted by friends and family of businesses. Really controlled with military rigidity by a bunch of CA computer geeks. Not really a friendly and neighborly website. Website control encourages users to spy on and secretly report other "neighbors" for trivial violations of the california nerd policies. They claimed that my ID was false, supposedly reported by a "neighbor". They would not believe me, but believed the false report of a secret unknown "spy". Too many problems with website management and control by web. Not the real neighborhood. Next door is not good at all. There are lots of other better ways to meet and connect with real neighbors. Terrible!

At first, it was nice. I used Nextdoor to report found animals and try to find owners. We have a new neighbor who is a bully (points guns at people for parking on the street), lets his dog cry all hours of the night, and his yard is filthy.

He and his wife have used Nextdoor to literally harass people out of the area. I had one neighbor evicted by the city after this couple literally found people to harass them on Nextdoor. Apparently, now it's my turn. I'm being told to move. After 20 years in my house and many years as a community activist, it is NOT going to happen.

I'll stop posting on this site and hope it dies a nice quiet death. As for the neighbor, I'm going to stop deleting the crap I catch him doing on video so I have it for the police.

Anyone who doesn't agree with you can flag your comment and get you banned. Anyone who wants to harass you can do so by looking up your name and neighborhood (ask me how I know). If you use a made up last name, NextDoor just disables your account without any way of reinstating it. No help, no customer service, no explanation of any kind. Horrible.

I have been on this listserve for several years and am mostly happy with the content. I've learned so much from my neighbors who generously share their experiences, concerns and referrals. The referrals alone are worth the time to be involved. And I love how everyone goes above and beyond to help the many lost and found animals. Every once in a while someone gets hostile, but usually the group responses will help tone things down. I applaud the listserve organizers for helping to make this such a helpful and easy way to stay connected.

This experience is not only personal to me but is a composite f many others who have been "cancelled" by Next Door. When a post that does not meet their approval is removed a non-descript (Something Happened) statement comes up).No Reason given or expected. Often entire threads are removed especially when the conversation is about The Homeless Issue, Price gouging by PGE, The ineptitude of the current administration.
This censorship has become more and more pervasive and oppressive. Next Door is a corporation for profit as often threads are interrupted with ads...it is insensitive to community concerns and seems to have an agenda which does not allow for discourse between Neighbors.Censorship is its Main Concern.

Even with all the available tools at one's disposal, it's amazing how cumbersome an application & its related website performs. Even questions submitted on search engines don't help. Trying to simply identify new potential neighborhoods from the application is a dead end. On top of that, attempting to log in through a browser, my PW fails & resetting the application locks me out of my smart device application. Get it together, folks. It appears this is becoming another captive marketing site. No wonder I use it less & less, due to frustrating tools & capabilities.

My account in Crestview Fl was permanently disabled. I merely suggested that all the numerous Bible quoters-walk their talk not just talk it and I got permanently terminated. They are affiliated with FaceBook you're being watched and data stored about you.

I received an invitation to join nextdoor.com by letter, thinking it was a local community offer (it's gloabal)
I wish I had done research on it before joining, the T&C are a security risk for anyone's identity.
I'd love to know why and how they lettered me and where they got the information from.
You need to supply, real name, address, telephone number, email address. D. O. B and all has to be verified by the site.

I posted something about warning about others to be careful about an incident that occurred. People are against it. Support on not being safe on the street. My post got removed. I feel like a lot of people that are on that website live in a fantasy one way world and not the reality!

You can't post on what you want to post because of others disagreements or bothered can report you. It's pretty much you vs people at nextdoor.com. Pointless. Not recommending to anyone. Stick to other social media or websites!

At first I found it useful but then I moved into another area of town and it seemed like a different place. The parole officer mentality over my postings that are respectful, sympathetic, somehow set some people off with too much time on their hands. And they snitch on you! It's a mean, petty, snotty place to be. You had to be part of the clique to have a response recognized. I never felt welcomed. I am sick of the lost dogs day after day which is all it exists for. Other than that I have found a few reliable contractors. I plan to ditch it and stick with Home Advisor. It has served its purpose in making some SF app gurus wealthy so it has served its purpose.
