Nextdoor

Many moderators are part of a clique of usually retired or unemployed domestic homemakers that are busy judging people they consider socially below them. They accuse people if digital panhandling. They purge people's posts about needing assistance. They are allowed and encourage to join in on public shaming. It promotes some of the nastiest attitudes of the wanna be elite.

Using this to help lift our neighborhood to a better more organized collective power for change in our city. Started a group to organize desired changes into an agenda to present to City Council Meetings. Looking into organizing a neighborhood challenge for aesthetics, like most improved property, like landscaping, flours, upgrades, etc. Also a local outreach group is on the drawing board to help those locally who may not be able to do alot for themselves, like the elderly, handicapped, etc... to lend them a community helping hand. :) Very useful tool!

Our long standing neighborhood was hijacked by Nextdoor. Efforts to resolve this result in slick, canned responses from their 'support' desk. Their privacy policy has holes in it and I would caution neighbors to stay away from this vendor. Do your homework. This company in San Francisco cannot possibly be the solution for neighborhoods across the country. Many of our neighborhood leaders joined Nextdoor initially to test the site and all of us have since de-activated. We have our own neighborhood centric network and trying to rid ourselves of this company.

I would post questions like... Who is watching the Super bowl or Who is watching the State of the Union and most of my post were censored for not being respectful? A few days ago, i decided not to deal with any social media platform that Censors me. So, I'm off, Facebook, Youtube, and Nextdoor. We can not support censorship in any way. I'm only on Twitter which allows Free Speech and Open Knowledge.

In, Canada, they are seriously criminalizing Free Speech. If you use hate speech or misinformation online... you can get life in prison? Yesterday, Walmart in Lou, Ky is Cashless. NO CASH! Now, poor people go to Walmart... they don't have credit cards or bank accounts? The great global purge is here.

Nextdoor has introduced me to a whole new way to stay connected and informed in my local community. Before I started using Nextdoor, I only knew one of my neighbors. Now with a click of a button, I can ask a question and get help from over 500 of my neighbors in seconds.

The best part of the website is that it is private to me and other confirmed neighbors. That privacy makes me feel comfortable sharing information with neighbors on Nextdoor. And I love getting timely updates about events, local issues, and how to stay safe.

I'm grateful to have this new way to stay informed and safe. Give Nextdoor a try in your neighborhood!

The local sites are run by leads with no oversite from the corporate level. 2 of the leads on our local site are anti growth and anti Water & Sewer Authority. They constantly violate community guidelines and bully anyone who disagrees with them by posting long rambling tirades without any facts to back up their claims. They also blatantly promote and direct traffic to a website they own. By becoming leads and helping their friends become leads they have taken over the site and there is no way to post anything without them jumping in and taking control of the conversation.

As a lead for many years, I am a regular user of ND, although my posts are limited. I have had an overall positive experience with my neighbors (and Steve Wymer lives in my neighborhood and I have worked with him exploring law enforcement liaison opportunities). I have used ND at least twice to solve thefts in our neighborhood, and worked closely with staff on package, thefts last year, connecting The San Jose PD to victims of theft, for placement of dummy packages. We successfully interrupted one serial theft series.

I've topped 700 invites and regularly try to engage more people to join.

I get tired of the negativity, as we all do, that seem to creep into threads but believe the flagging/review process is effective (and frankly takes it off our/leads' backs)

They are a scam. They paint themselves as a local resource of information for consumers, but in reality they sweep all and any information from a members computer(s) and then sell it to companies so they can market their stuff to your "members". Their 'members' are inundated with scams and marketing trash. They steal all of the data possible from their customers computers and do not fully explain this to them.

It's a total fraud

I was told that I needed a normal name by one of the members who felt the need to try to bully me, I told them to please be polite. I do not have an American name. I was discriminated upon and harassed for my name. Many years after my account was verified, name and physical address I was harassed by having my account permanently suspended for not using my real name?! The name and address were verified by NextDoor. This is my real name! The harassment and violation of my civil rights as an American citizen is unacceptable. I will be following up with legal action to ensure my rights are not violated.

Go ahead and enter your full name, home address, and profile photo! What's the worse that can happen? It's not like you'll get bullied by HOA members and uptight losers with no lives that have nothing better to do than report you! Sign right up for a great way to build "community" with your neighbors! Invasion of your privacy and personal life? Ammunition used by your hoa against you? Naahhhh! That'll never happen! Come on! Just give us your home address, a photo of what you look like, and your full name! It'll be great! ;)

Posts and Notifications to Other Users is Totally Disorganized.
Apparently the designers/developers of NextDoor have not idea what they are doing.
Also Nextdoor Suspends so, so many accounts for someone just speaking their beliefs.
This is another Facebook in disguise and one cannot engage in civil discourse because one
Becomes suspended over the most ridiculous reasons.

This site is terrible - the mods allow bullying and harassing of all types. It is very toxic. I only look on there once in a blue moon to see what is going on in the neighborhood, but almost never post. There is mostly fighting, complaining, and advertising on here.

The nextdoor app needs to be monitored for content. Although, they do give you a false sense of security by listing "Leads" that apparently are responsible for monitoring the content, it seems to be only a smoke screen. They do nothing to stop cyber bullying and when I complained, I was simply ignored. The promote people calling others a "Piece of $#*!" and ignore my request for asking people to be more kind. I was called a horrible names because I politely asked for people to display kindness and stop the bullying. Go figure...
