Nextdoor just suspended my account because of some racially heated threads that were not even started by me. It has become a utter cesspool of leftist, socialist ideologies, butthurt feelings of white progressives wallowing in their own white guilt whilst kneeling at the altar at the church of the blm. I speak my mind, always will! I would just recommend if you want a good place to find out the going's on in your neighborhood, just talk to your neighbors instead. Avoid the Nextdoor website like the plague!
The Hiawatha neighborhood of Minneapolis (and nearby neighborhoods) has a lead that does not act on racist posts, and will censor liberal points of view (in a very liberal city... so that's probably most of the neighborhood). He's tried to get elected to various local offices (city council, for example) but never gets more than about 5% of the vote because... our neighborhood knows what a jerk he is. However, he apparently works out well for Nextdoor- entirely due the fact that he has about 1,000 invites to his name. Invites are their metric... actually being a positive benefit to the neighborhood is not part of this company's efforts.
Want to get banned from the app (as I did), post about a real crime/criminal. When my neighbor's bicycle was stolen, I had a clear photo and posted, and my neighbor verified it was his bike. Next thing you know, I'm banned. It's a badge of honor, though--don't want to be like their ubiquitous "Oh, there are squirrels on my patio, eek!" frantic posts.
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.
I've thoroughly enjoyed using Nextdoor. I've bought stuff, given away free stuff, stayed informed about town events, and exchanged ideas with neighbors. Unfortunately, after moving from the Pottersville section to the Americana Terrace section, my husband updated his address and now he can't get updates from other parts of our community- just Americana Terrace. We can't figure out how to fix this! Please help.
Or kind. Intrusive, petty, flagger monkey's and EGO driven 'leads' ruin the site.
NEXTDOOR does not respect your right to privacy even though you are a verified member of the community. Nextdoor demands you must use your full legal name leaving anyone vulnerable fodder to be exploited. I cannot recommend, especially to single women or the elderly.
When I joined Nextdoor it was mainly letting you know who your neighbors were and if you needed help with something you could post it on Nextdoor asking your neighbors if they could help and you would get several responses from others willing to help without expecting anything. Now your post for help would get buried by all they garage sale or for sale postings. Some people don't know how to add multiple photos to a sales listing, so they create 5 listings for 5 different items. I used to feel safe with Nextdoor but not anymore.
My account was disabled without warning. I received no email notifying me of any violation reported nor given a chance to reply or dispute. I mainly post about lost dogs in the neighborhood with the occasional reply to someones request for contractor information.
There is no way to contact anyone about the situation other than a generic inquiry through a form with no relevance to being disabled. I have to wait 48+ hours for a reply. I would not expect one of my customers to do business with me after being treated like this. I will fight to get my account reinstated so I can post my story and then deactivate the account. Sitejabber should give us an option for "0" stars. One star is too generous in my opinion.
Childlsh behavior of name calling and threatening emails allowed unless the in agreement with the leads. When another point of view is presented the post is removed. It has become a political site that has divided our community. I cannot recommend this site... develop your own to maintain objectivity.
I was horrified when, within two days of signing up, I received an email containing a photo and a notice inquiring if I knew whether the person in question was or was not an actual "Neighbor." WTF? Checking to make sure those invited into this useless network are worthy?
Next Door is a great concept to share information to neighbors that is important in every aspect. Sadly, this company cuts corners on pay and allows neighbors to be in charge of other neighbors. It's just a bitter HOA with a keyword.
If you have half of a brain and know how to type, you can be a reviewer, lead or moderator on Next Door. It's a way for bitter neighbors to emerse the only bit of power they will have in their pathetic lives to oust people off just to do it. And don't even try to use facts, logic or any sort of intelligence, because these people cannot handle any sort of objectivity - it's their opinion or the highway. I cannot believe Next Door allows random people to handle their neighbors - they have made what can be a great tool and resource an online playground for uneducated bullies to run.
This website is a great way for neighbors to stay informed and know whats happening in your area and surrounding neighborhoods. I know our local police department uses this website also to provide information. This website is helpful to those people reaching out to their neighbors if they need help with something like finding a lost pet or looking for a good electrician or plumber or any type of service. I do know that some of the ads on Nextdoor, particularly the general Real Estate blasts can be misleading information about your neighborhood real estate values so take those with "a grain of salt".
After fighting with the site for a while it let me enter my address and then said I can't join and to go to a customer service link. This link sent me back to the page to join that will not let me join. Did this 3 times and decided to bash them on a review. They suck and must be run by total idiots. If these people ran the world we'd all be dead! They must smell very bad as I doubt they can wipe their butts.
Neighbors can verbally attack you privately and you can't block them. You can mute their conversation but if you disagree with an issue watch out!
Politically motivated subject matter should be removed or told to open a group in Yahoi.
It's run by a bunch of arbitrary idiots. They will remove people for comments that are completely benign. But Nextdoor people are so ignorant that they don't even understand thenWnflsh language being used. It's almost like they're just a robot and if your comment has a word n their verboten list they will eject you. I guess it's a power trip by idiots. They can't do anything well. They make hardly any money from Nextdoor. Let's hope it goes out of business like all inferior businesses.should do.
I absolutely love Nextdoor.com. This is a great idea for neighbors that live in the same vicinity to get to know each other. It's frustrating to read so many negative complaints on here about Nextdoor. People need to understand that Nextdoor is a private company and has a set of guidelines that we all agree to when we join. It's really very simple to follow their guidelines and treat each other with kindness. I have been a member and Lead for 6 years and started 3 neighborhoods and have never been suspended or disciplined for anything because I treat all members with respect. I, like many others, spend lots of time on the site and find it very enjoyable.
Thanks to postings on Nextdoor, I've learned where break-ins have occurred in the area, who's having a charity lemonade stand, whose pet is missing so I can help watch out for them, and gained important information about events affecting the neighborhood such as the potential loss of Ty's Automotive and the latest construction delays on College Ave. I've gotten recommendations on people providing services, and warnings about those to avoid. It's a valuable resource that I check every day.
Unlike others, I don't object to freedom of speech be it local or national politics and would rather see less censureship than more. I think a forum like Nextdoor is very usual for getting information to the public. And members should feel free to disagree and express that in a reasonable manner.
On a practical level, there should be more categories in the "for sale" listings, like holiday etc. there's too much to browse when you are looking for something specific or trying to sell something specific.
Bias and one-sided censorship. If you talk pro Marxism or pro democrat values and ideas then you are all good to say whatever you want even if it goes against their guidelines.
If your views are different then you are silenced or bullied by other users. If you decide to report their actions nothing happens but if you say a fraction of what the opposing person says and they report you then you're suspended.
Worst site - app that I ever had.
I have shared my bad city library experience after tax-paid library fee yet being prevented from using it in the past 3-4 years; library robbery?
My past 3 posting of shared community commerce experience has vanished in hours; now my Nextdoor.com account has "inaccessible" for penalize my "shared experience" as " personal dispute". Public library service deprivation - violation of Civil Rights is "personal dispute"? Are you kidding me? Who is silencing us, yet took our precious personal domcile information in the name of "neighborhood"? Corporate adversary censoring?
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.
