Diabolical!
August 6, 2016

This site has become the most damaging and dangerous communications tool I have ever experienced as an Association Manager. A few residents who are angry at just about everything have taken over the site and rant endlessly about the board of directors, the manager, and what happens in the association. They have completely torn apart a wonderful community and have taken control of the site.
The Nextdoor Supervisors do not actively enforce their own code of "neighborly" conduct which allows the leads to get away with turning a blind eye to the hostile, negative posts.

Abusive website
January 23, 2021

This is an abusive web site. The moderator of it is far below par! It's the neighborhood but they allow you to be attacked. Especially if you report a business for not wearing a mask! This is actually bad for the community! Very sad!

Great Information
July 29, 2019

Very helpful neighbors, no negative remarks. I love being able to get on here and see what is going on in the neighborhood. I can't get out as much as I used to so this is a good way to keep up with things.

Review of Nextdoor
November 3, 2019

To give a reply to a letter, comment, etc., you have to go through a whole new sign-in sequence, which I think is overkill. I had to do the same just to get installed onto Nextdoor, or how would I get the email with all the info? Having to sign in again seems superfluous to me.

My review
July 18, 2019

What i find useful
Neighborhood news: stores opening, closing, development updates, scams, behavior to be alert to
What I don't find useful:
Endless trails of comments on an issue, e.g. the bernal hill neighbors and their fence, where people don't read the entire thread; snarky comments are shot back and forth: lots of heat and very little light

I response to an ongoing plethora of thefts of packages from porches and Christmas decorations, I used the word "scum" to describe the people doing it. Nextdoor suspended me for 30 days stating that I was being unneighborly. Nextdoor considers a THIEF a neighbor deserving our respect!

If you are willing to tow the line with the progressive d-bags, then you are welcome on this site. Post any opposing views, then you are the wrath of the sites leads (admins), who are primarily hormonal, post-menopausal, left-leaning, annoying, "you don't care enough" white women. Too many posts accepted from the OMG! OMG! Crowd. The site sells your email to anyone who comes along, so beware of signing up.

Nextdoor is euphemism for something dark. Run by leader system. More like a fasc ist system. Waste of time. Stay with Facebook and Twitter. Nextdoor is poking into your local life and undermines it. Bad.

I have enjoyed the connectivity and real-time flow of information which Nextdoor enables. It is both of functional use (traffic, crime, power outages, etc.) as well as entertaining/touching (lost and found pets, animal rescues, etc.

A invitation was sent out announcing a garage sale with my name on it. I know nothing about this and am upset that this was done without my authorization. This is a unethical use of security.

Leads abusing power.
Nextdoor doesn't care.
Privacy issues - convicted felons allowed to join your neighborhood, YET, the moment you hide your real name and try to protect your privacy nextdoor suspends your account for not using your real name.
No, thank you. My name, my address, and a bunch of criminals allowed to see it - sure! Think twice! I am not falling for it.
Neighbors reporting neighbors.
Everybody flagging everybody and leads removing messages.
Drama! Too much drama!
Leads using the site for their personal agendas.
I can go on... and on...

There is NOTHING friendly and helpful about this place! Instead of yapping about your neighbor and hiding behind the "flag" button - just go out there and knock on your neighbor's door.

RUN away while you still can! The place is a wasp's nest!

NextDoor Leisure World of Maryland is a joke - the "lead" is a failed lawyer who sucks up to those whom he thinks are empowered to make decisions on the illegally seated BOD and its management subsidiary. Any posts about their fiduciary abuse and management corruption are deleted by him and the author banned.

NextDoor administration is to blame for allowing censorship on local sites

Gossipy and damaging site
February 20, 2017

Hey Nextdoor looks like I am not the only person that finds your quality of social networking harmful. Not only do you have no respect for privacy, you have no respect for harmful, damaging comments made about others. I find there is racism, gossip and mistruths on this "community" site. Nextdoor will not remove damaging conversations posted by a lot of gossipy people.

Good start, but there's work to be done
June 27, 2019

NextDoor has been a great help for our neighborhood, but you have been slow to fix some problems. For example, I'm still getting a LOT of unwanted email from senders outside my neighborhood. I have unchecked all other neighborhoods and have no "interest" boxes checked. I'd also like to have a central location to post documents intended for continuing use by our neighborhood.

My Experience on Next Door
July 18, 2019

I really enjoy reading most of the things that are posted on next door. Some excellent information has been posted. I don't like it when people make negative comments on things other people post. Other than that-it's great

I witness one lady get censored for using the word God. She posted a wonderful nature picture and talked about God's beauty. The post was removed. But after a lot feedback the post was restored.

I was personally censored today. After posting scientific studies supported by NIH and listed on pubmed the moderator deleted my post because they didn't agree with the findings.

I've had nothing but trouble accessing my account because of their security which is excessive in my opinion. They insist on sending a verification code to the email address I provided without doing any verification of the email in advance. I put in an incorrect email address by mistake and didn't realize it until I wasn't able to get their code. As a result I missed a chance at selling an item I posted because I wasn't able to reply to an inquiry on it. When I contacted their "support" team, my complaint was ignored and I was instead told why passwords are important, as if I'd never seen a computer before in my life.

Now I've moved and can't change my address because their extreme security. Even after replying with the security code that was sent to my cell phone, they refuse to allow me to change my address.

Not safe
August 1, 2018

I was kicked by a woman and the lead for not supporting their political views. All i posted was a helpful idea about carpooling to a nearby rally for the children to avoid traffic and parking in 100 degree weather. I was previously using my mothers name because there was a man bothering me and i felt threatened by him. There is zero safety on this site and the leads are friends of the troublemakers so there is no resolutions.

Continuous issues with admin's who delete threads based on their own interpretation of the posted guidelines. FBI posted a awareness alert which I made a thread bringing up awareness within my community. The admins deleted the threads and froze the account. No independent process to dispute the admins actions.
