Nextdoor

Nextdoor is a stupid app for idiots to complain about petty issues. If you bring up any important topics such as the mismanagement of your HOA, you will be blocked! They also won't give any information on how you supposedly violated their community standards!

Please think twice before initiating Nextdoor for your community or joining your community page. I have witnessed over the last 6 months our community being torn apart. It inspires rude, curt, harsh, insulting, hostile and defamatory statements to be made. You see a side of your neighbors you gave never seen before. Fights are started and long time friendships ruined. Leads have an enormous amount of power and use it to support their own agendas. They will allow horrid conversations to continue if it supports how they feel on an issue and stop and/or delete those conversation that don't support their views while allowing controversy to grow. Nextdoor is very one sided in supporting Lead's action and disregard the multitude of complaints they receive from neighbors. Much of the damage is unable to be recovered from.

The app and website seem like a good idea at first. Then you get to know your neighbors. NextDoor has its share of garage sale items, and swim team meet details, but there's an ugly side. Every person "who looks out of place" walking on the sidewalk gets called out on the app. God help you if you're black and knocking on doors in our neighborhood.

The app sends "push notifications" for urgent alerts tagged as "Crime & Safety". This means that every bored, stupid Desperate Housewife who gins up a fantasy of danger now has the ability to push her stupid blather straight to your cell phone.

Case in point: This Tuesday, after a Memorial Day party at the clubhouse. The remnants of a water balloon fight were spotted by an especially stupid, fearful neighbor who posted about our "SCARY" "black tar heroine[sic]" problem.

If you think you hate your neighbors, but want to be totally sure about it, get this app or visit the website. You will never doubt how much you hate them again.

I signed up, thinking a great way to know what's going on in the neighborhood. Mainly for Problems like B&E's, Vandalism, Jockey Boxing, car theft, etc. It's nothing like that! Overwhelmed by ignorant people, airing all kinds of pointless info.( ie "My neighbors plays his music too loud). If you want to join an online "Sewing Circle" with a bunch of Karen and Todd's griping about F-All. Do yourself a favor and avoid it, you'll hate people even more!

Found Adriana as a super referral for home cleaning services. Adriana is a dynamic deep cleaning pro to put our condo up for sale. Looks good enough to stay. Fast, reliable, competitive pricing, good communicator. A true five stars out of five *****. Forget the rest, even on Groupon, and you won't regret. Tom Flynn 35 years a real estate broker, appraiser, FHA Compliance Inspector, Bank Inspector and 100% EBay rated buyer/seller so no B. S. here. Choose Adrianna! Did way more than expected. Did like her own home and family coming for Christmas clean!

I used to love nextdoor, but now all people want to argue about is politics. You have one side making the most heinous claims, yet rarely do their accounts face suspensions or bans. However, anything considered to be 'conservative' is muted in a blink of an eye.

Criteria for Leads (area leaders) is insufficient. The supervision or management between the Leads and the corporate office does not exist. Try to establish protection plans for neighborhood safety and you will be stepped on and your message deleted. Nextdoor is only for small talk from simple minded people where bad people feel safe in attacking clever ideas. The number of emails you get per day is overwhelming. Out of about 100 emails you might get 2 or 3 messages of value. If you see a black cat walking down the street, this is the place to report it and discuss it. Nextdoor is a for-profit company that profits from advertising. They simply threw a program out there and let it regulate itself at ground level. If you are smart enough to read then you can find better places to communicate with your neighbors. Look for Meetup.com groups.

3 weeks trying to get my business verified. Sent in back statements with the company name listed. Still wont verify because they cant understand that in small coastal towns of the pacific NW you have a street address where you DONT get mail and another address where you do. Thats ok From what Ive read now online glad I havent spent any money advertising here.

The crime & safety part of Nextdoor is useful. It's good to know what's going on in your area. I wish someone provided this info separately.

Nextdoor attracts opinionated people who have to be right. After some time there, you realize how much better life was before you knew anything about your neighbors. Everyone was nice because they didn't cross boundaries, and get into cliques and gossip. The old saying is true: fences make good neighbors. Nextdoor cultivates the opposite of that. It brings out ugliness, competitiveness, hubris. I'll never go back.
