NextdoorReviews 3,043

Nextdoor is censuring posts now. Any reference to rioting in your location is now deleted. The last I saw was an article from the local newspaper the reviewjournal giving readers information time, date and location of a potential hotspot.

Nextdoor has labeled itself as a neighborhood website. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is a warning that if you are looking for a site where you can freely share information with neighbors without fear or censorship, NextDoor is something you should run away from.

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!

This anti-American San Francisco based social media tool is the absolute WORST when it comes to selectively censoring any comment no matter how polite that does not agree with all things liberal militancy. It is now dominated by Gestapo brown shirts that hate-bate, race-bate, bully, and then hypocritically gang up and label you as ignorant, hateful and even dangerous.

We are living in an era where freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom to politely express your opinions on social media are under assault by social media platforms which are all based out of California. Nextdoor is the absolute worst!

After using Facebook for years, going to Nextdoor is like another world. Anyone can report your comment, and you'll find yourself with a Disabled Account. I posted an article about health and safety regarding COVID, for those in my community to read, titled, "NIH director says wearing masks is not 'optional' to curb pandemic's spread". I was told this was not allowed. Uh, why? People post about fireworks scaring their pet, but updates on staying safe, is crossing a line? I created a group, and an individual was repeatedly removed for posting harassing comments and conspiracy theory, and 3 messages to the ONLY Lead, asking if this person could be blocked from the group, offered NO response. I posted in mid-July about my ex having a party of roughly 100 people for his birthday, none wore masks, and my young adult children were there. I got useful information from neighbors, on who to contact about testing. I never gave a name, or home address just my ND area where this happened, so no one there knew who my ex was. My comments to those being helpful were respectful and I ignored those that were hateful, and were they hateful. My account was Disabled for 3 days, and these were the reasons I was given for why. In the last month, my account was disabled twice because they said someone reported that I moved, when I had not. They give 24 hrs to respond. The first time I missed that deadline and it was a hassle to get it reinstated. Then I got an email saying I wasn't using my real name. I have only ever used my real name. I sent a copy of my license as proof.
I will say, it is a good place to get a quick response if you need to hire a handyman for a home repair. I therefore give it 2 stars as it is not only a retake on Angie's List, but meant to be a community service tool. But ONLY if they agree with you.

Nextdoor for the Oak Park area of San Luis Obispo County is a cesspool of misinformation on such topics as COVID and damaging libel against moderate and left-leaning politicians. Facts are not tolerated if they challenge the false narrative and propaganda beloved by the moderates. People A popular reason for banning people is "not using their real names" when the directions clearly direct people to use the name the neighbors know them by. Given that presenting the science on the benefit of wearing masks, for example, will get a person a timeout for weeks or even a banishment with no recourse, Nextdoor is actually a public health hazard and has contributed to the exponential increase in COVID cases, hospitalizations, patients in ICU, and deaths in the county. Nextdoor corporate doesn't appear to give a darn.

I'm retired and donate much of my time volunteering in the aesthetic preservation of my city. I also use various social media to expose those who violate city and state ordinances! And unsurprisingly, I'm often wrongly accused by those who violate said ordinances, via their reciprocal posts! Unfortunately, its been my experience for "NextDoor" to react in haste, and without investigation or confirmation of others reciprocal claims. They also frequently rush to judgement and accuse members like myself of violating "NextDoor" policies without themselves having an understanding of the scope of these requirements! Thus, their ineptitude and illiteracy is of similar competence to that of the police who arrested George Floyd! Though we can at least be thankful NextDoor moderators are not provided handcuff's, tasers and firearms!

More of a site where the burglars and thieves get to learn about and know about innocent victims, as I have personally noticed this. Nextdoor does not manage their policy violations, and when you complain to Nextdoor about this, they attack you. Site is not managed well at all. People do ask for illegal things and the site just does not care. Really not a neighborhood site. And they sell your personal information, because I used a phone number that no one has, but now all the scammers call that number, all day long. Admins on Nextdoor are sleeping and really don't care.

Many years ago, NextDoor informed me that I'd been made an "admin" and started sending me other neighbors' comments to moderate. While a few of the site's guidelines make sense (don't threaten people or advocate breaking the law), most (be kind, don't soapbox, etc.) are virtually uninterpretable.

I've been able to see how my neighbors and fellow admins navigate this. Sadly, it's only led in one direction--the unclear guidelines are abused to simply censor political views that don't align with the majority view. Worse, neighbors who flagrantly violate harassment rules are given a free pass if they're working on the right "side." As a result, the variety of discourse has suffered, and NextDoor has become a fairly uniform political propaganda platform. When my neighbors need to borrow a lawn mower these days, they're more likely to simply send out an e-mail, and I don't blame them.

You cannot EVER voice a conservative or patriotic opinion without getting slammed by a swarm of liberals, and I mean slammed on your face. It's always the same toxic mob who resorts to vulgar name-calling, and threatens anyone trying to defend themselves with "I know where you live".
One woman make the fatal mistake of describing some boys, who covered the limestone in our botanical gardens with graffiti, as black. Oh the horror! You would think she had just founded the KKK. Thankfully, our police chief, who is black, intervened on her behalf, and reminded everyone that race is given on a police report. It's just not worth the drama to be on Nextdoor. It sucks the joy out of life.

Nextdoor has a good idea, but terribly implemented. Site is full of nasty political battles, misinformation and bullying is rampant. The "Leads" do nothing to make sure people follow Nextdoor policy and even participate in the bullying. Example. Selling animals is not allowed, yet the same people get away with breeding and selling animals over and over no matter how many times they are reported to Leads. They need to overhaul the system of reporting and shutting down nasty threads and abusive users. Certain threads that always lead to fighting and abuse just need to not be allowed. Could be good, but not right now and its getting worse.

The Nextdoor montra is that they they are for local people and local businesses. However, every aspect of their direction is related national contracts stomping out the voice of local connectivity.

I had a open-house for my office which I posted so that we can start a meet and greet function. Basically a harmless event post. They immediately shut down my service. And at the time, unless I purchased a national package I could not gain any whisper of advertisement. A useless social media platform. It has no sense of neighborly edicate.

Hence is why I use Alignable, FB and other platforms to communicate. Nextdoor is a great concept. However, a huge fail.

It takes a real intellectually dishonest scumbag to color other people's children as inherently RACIST based upon the skin tone they were born into. Then to use your Nextdoor Neighbor platform to promote this slanderous racist divisive and inflammatory rhetorical deep within our communities and censor and silence any dissenting contrarian voices is criminal behavior in the eyes of many. If you they don't cease and desist then I hope they get swiftly sued for every penny they own for promoting and turning a blind eye towards RACISM on your social media platform
