It is very sad when someone reports somebody who posted something hateful to the point of wishing them dead, but the one who reported it gets punished. This site has become cliquish and intolerant, seemingly ousting people whose opinions do not align with their preconceived notions. The moderators are self-absorbed and/or not approachable. They had a real chance of helping communication between members, instead, they are nothing more than a self-serving liberal cesspool, supporting bullies.
I have sent and resent the same $#*!ing email for them to VERIFY my email address and EVERY TIME I get the reply it says;
'For your security, this link is expired.
But don't worry, we can send you a new one right away!'
When I get the NEW ONE as mentioned above, I get the SAME $#*!ING response!
$#*! NEXT DOOR!
Nextdoor should come change their name to whiteguiltpropaganda.com cuz thats what its become here in the Bay Area. Site is filled with liberals that will verbally attack and bully you and label you a racist if you express an opinion that they dont agree with. Mods are liberal so they will censor you if they dont agree with your viewpoint. Definately not a place for free speech. I'm okay if they dont want political talk but some political post get removed right away and others do not. You can usually tell which side of the argument the moderator is on right away
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.
Several years ago I, and my wife were permanently banned from San Tan Heights Nextdoor by Bernabe Torres(lead). Since then, a busy-body named Candice Steelman makes posts that advise residents not to vote for board of director candidates. Me! Since I cannot get on Nextdoor, I am unable to defend myself. That is the same as election rigging. She has done the same on various LDS women's Facebook pages that I have no access to. Election rigging!
Nextdoor allows emotionally unstable fascists to have power over other people.
It's where people group from your specific neighborhood. This... is why I'm suspicious of neighborhood meetings, neighborhood groups and events. Because it's susceptible to group think and loss of individuality.
Group mentality is dangerous. Being part of a group can destroy people's inhibitions, making them do things they'd never otherwise do. They lose their individual values and principles and adopt the group's principles, good or bad. Groupthink occurs when a crowd of people (usually with good intentions) conform in such a way that leads to dysfunctional or irrational behavior. Their viewpoints may be so strong that critical thinking becomes impaired and ration takes a back seat to the intensity of emotion rising from the group. Because of the need to conform, individualism is not prioritized. Arguing, defending an opposite belief, and raising controversial issues to the group, may become dangerous. With no opposition to the group view, members are more likely to feel absolute in their position, furthering a black and white mentality where there are only two choices: right or wrong. This perpetuates authoritarian ruling by usually one member of the group: the leader, or administrator in Nextdoor App's case. Those who struggle from poverty, depression, isolation, loneliness, feeling of not belonging, frustrated, and trauma, may be more susceptible to groups.
This site is a communist site! They support crybabies and losers! People start conversations or discussions then if you add facts or opinions they don't agree with, they "report" you! Then the site "suspends" your account or whatever! I and many other veterans fought to have the freedom of speech but this site apparently doesn't support the military, our veterans, or our right of freedom of speech! So, basically, if you use this site, you better keep your mouth shut, lol! No matter what ignorant thing others say. You aren't allowed to speak your mind!
There are about 10 people that I know that have sent repetitive complaints to Nextdoor corporate about a lead that is abusing his power as well as creepy old guys that stalk the women. No action taken on the lead but the only response they give you for the creepy old guys is to call the police if you feel you are in danger. Muting them doesn't stop them from PM'ng you. Many complained a couple of years ago about a lead and they didn't remove him until he was arrested by the police for child pornography. This platform is horrible. Neighbors beware.
Awful service hardest site to resolve problems I ever dealt with got logged off somehow never able to get back in despite numerous attempt and repeated texts over months time with CS
This service allowed a lead person to disable my account after I reported her for spreading lies about me on nextdoor. Instead of removing her as lead, they continued to allow her to keep doing it. It's not a good app, it's a bunch of people making idiotic comments and a way to get others to turn on 1 person if they aren't trailer park trash like them.
We had Paco's Painting for a new paint in our Home. We couldn't have been happier with their service. He answered all our question, He is Professional and did a wounderful Job. L would highly recommend this company for all yours project's you need. Great job! Paco's painting.
I recently moved and had to do change of address on all my accounts.
I changed address on three bank accounts on-line
I changed my Auto and medical insurance on the phone.
I changed all my on-line accounts on-line.
Nextdoor has three levels to get to the address change, then these Bozos' say they can't do anything until I send them a postcard back.
Guess what Nextdoor, you are not needed.
Good bye!
Sad site pretty much just allows bullying and disrespect of neighbors. A lot of clueless and ignorance and obviously no one is monitoring and your address is pretty much available to anyone. No privacy features. Procede with caution. Looks like a lot of minors are taking over
There is a lot of blaming and lying on Nextdoor.com.
Leeds have way too much power... especially if they don't like you. They can smear you and get away with it!
Bogus website!
Enter at your own risk!
We had a delicious Italian dinner from Giannin's. It's located in San Ramon
It's just past the used car lot. My only complaint was I wish they didn't package their food in styrofoam. It isn't biodegradable. Sturdy plastic wouldn't leak and you could microwave. Carole
We had Ken's Kooling replace our old A/C & Heating System. We couldn't have been happier with their service.
They answered all of our questions, were professional and did a great job.
I would recommend this company without hesitation. Keep up the good work!
They are supressing freedom of speech and whatever viewpoint the "Leads" dont like its scary and Orwellian.
Im talking about civil, descent speech... descent discussions. They are trying to shut down ideas that they dont agree with. This platform will Not last
**I would strongly recommend avoiding this social media site and app at all costs.**This site has tremendous potential, but operates based on volunteer leads. Additionally, NextDoor does not communicate with leads on the standards effectively which is the cause of many of the problems encountered. Those that are chalking it up to being too right wing and racist are not seeing that is just poor management on the management team, as they definitely not right wing. It might be easy to confuse the two, but rest assured it is poor management. I have encountered problems, especially as a lead and on the leads forum holding the company to task. I am a libertarian leaning conservative and been banned from the leads forum without warning due to taking the processes or lack of processes and leadership to task. The company does overall lack the professionalism and ability to provide for a safer environment that it promises for neighbors to communicate. Their business practices are questionable, especially through COVID-19. Telling leads to remove any posts for selling masks or sanitizer, then pumping ads into the feeds for such things. Additionally pumping in ads for questionable gimmick products that are known to fleece the elderly and others for products that do not work as promised. They are a business, they are social media, and it is free, so they have to get their revenue somewhere, just keep that in mind and everything on a "free" site still has price.
Unless you are a right wing racist who believes that no one ethnic group should have any rights, all "bully" breeds should be exterminated wholesale, covid is a hoax, and cats should not be subject to leash laws so they can pee & poop all over others yards while scratching up you cars, pets, and children and ruining your outdoor furniture: this is NOT the place for you!
Admin belong in Hell: not running a site meant to "foster good relationships with neighbors"
Who in their right mind "bans" people for refusing to agree that feral animals everywhere is not personally ideal?
Who bans people for 30 days for saying "excuse me but can you stop with the racist attacks?"
I imagine the CEO must be the grand dragon of the KKK to consider Nextdoor a "Friendly community" with the terrible and blatant racism that is encouraging and literally thrives...
Do not join
It's much more uncomfortable to live in your neighborhood when you realize how many psychopaths are that close by...
There are no neutral moderators on the site, and one person can get rid of everyone who doesn't agree with them, even if there's no content to oppose them on the site, itself, if they know you from the neighborhood, creating a closed bubble of neighbors who can mutiny the entire neighborhood using this platform. I'd call it downright dangerous.

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.
