Good Place to Share
June 15, 2019

For the most part, a great place to share neighborhood information, get helpful hints, and stay in touch with neighbors. You get a grouchy comment every now and then, but for the most part good old fashioned neighborly chat.

Many post's on who to call for all manner of wildlife to be eradicated, Constant post's about bullying the homeless from city property. Law enforcement are worshiped on this site, police are sacrosanct hero's where you will be attacked and reported if you comment on civil rights violations or lack of response in Uvalde. I was kicked off the site for pointing out the failures of Uvalde. Lot's of blatant racism lots of ring videos posted of "stranger" in neighborhood invariably they are black and actually live in the neighborhood. Lots of conspiracy theories and misinformation that some of the mods agree with it so they dont apply the rules. The place is kind of like taking a step back into mindset of the 1960's

Streetlife RIP
February 8, 2017

I have also opted out of all mail now as it was weekly, my choice, on streetlife and now it is daily or nothing. No point in staying on as streetlife had a wider local area and that meant I was able to help and be helped by a wider group of people. Too much emphasis is on getting local business to target ads and I have more than enough spam I don't what or need any more. Having read these reviews, done a considerable amount of research, 4 hours today solely on this item that has made me decide I will leave, pity streetlife (streetbook limited) has gone and I will delete all my details from there as well if I can, so they aren't passed on again.

Worst Site ever!
March 1, 2020

Who runs this site? If you are a conservative you cant even have an opinion on the weather! If it doesnt jive with the other left wing nuts you; re account gets spanked for 33 days! You disagree they report you as a bully or a narcissist. Can you imagine being labeled a bully for an opinion? If someone doesn't like you're name they report it as Fake. In the mean time there are names and addresses on there that are non existent! I have lost my account so many times its unreal. Id love to see this site just crash. Its dangerous and whats more dangerous is some people cannot make an account with out their actual address showing! While others have fictitious addresses and are allowed to skate! In today's crazy world these wackos should not be able to see where you live other then the community you're in, which is way more then enough!

Not worth the effort
December 24, 2021

In our area, Nextdoor has been hijacked by the crazies, including anti-vaxxers, out of the mainstream political types, and chronic complainers. Very little useful information of discussion occurs. The moderators do not seem to be able to handle (or do not want to) the covid misinformation being posted. Very poor.

I moved and had to verify I had moved via phone number. I verified two different phone numbers and both were successful, but they still wouldn't consider my account to be verified. They have no way to contact them except through a form that makes you include a picture attachment before you can contact them! Why? I went through the hassle of all of that, and then it sent me some answers that had nothing to do with my issue. It asked if they helped, I said no, and then it said they would email me. A day or two later I get an email saying my question was closed and they "hoped I got the answer I was looking for." What answer? They never even contacted me or did anything to help. It ensured me though, I could always ask a new question. Cool, I can ask the same question, attach another image, get the same stock responses that resolve nothing, then an email telling me how great they are for helping me and telling me to basically f*** off. Why bother? I proceeded to delete my account.

I could accept the censorship if every one was censored the same, that is definitely NOT the case! One of my leads was/is a cop with a beef with our board of directors and him and his group complain and complain and complain about the unfair treatment of our new board. I pointed out some issues I had with our cop lead and his failure to follow the same rules as a lead as well as a police officer. I emailed the information and I discussed it briefly in a post. I was kicked off and informed that the site was not designed for that type of format. The cop's favored "groupies" remain and continue making unproven accusations about our board members. So it is not the concept of the guidelines or the censorship I have a problem with, It is reading the posts that are similar in content that remain. DON'T BOTHER!

A mixed bag
May 31, 2019

I have enjoyed wonderful successes with Next Door-meeting people, buying items, giving and receiving advise, referrals. But theres always a down side to everything and the down side is the intolerance by our neighbors to differing opinions followed by the incredible rudeness as the issue is hashed out.

I agree with all the concerns about Next Door especially the privacy ones. I deactivated that account as soon as I realised what was happening. From this forum and another one I discovered: https://www.kahuti.com/ which looks very similar to Streetlife and only asks for your area to locate you in the right place. Nothing else displayed and you can choose how wide your neighbourhood is. Already found locals and Streelife refugees on there. Looks like the place to be!

I have been on this site for 3 years and posted maybe 3 times! I made a very valid post about terrible dog owners walking their out of control dogs, I was attacked by 3 people ruthlessly and I defended myself keeping my cool. I might add, I have 25 people like my post. I was called a Bigiot, Bully, said I slandered people and, was told to move. My post was up for two days and somehow they closed my account and refuse to open it back up. I regret ever signing up for this terrible platform. Thanks for nothing

Great experience but looking for improvement
November 3, 2019

I like using nextdoor app very much because it makes me feel a strong sense of community. I like to read what is happening in the neighborhood and use the used item market to buy and sell. Two things I think nextdoor can do better are:
1. Customizable news notification so I can choose what type of news and which neighborhood news I can receive. I feel I am receiving too many emailnotification from my neighbourhood on nextdoor about everything but meanwhile I can't access certain news happening in nearby neighborhoods.
2. The market needs serious improvement. The pictures uploading is a main issue. I wish I can choose the order of pictures being shown and especially care which one to be shown as the front listing picture. However, the system seems to arrange them randomly. And recently, if you ever need to edit your item, after the editing is done, all the pictures are gone. That may explain why so many listings are missing pictures.

I absolutely detest this website and the people who run it.

I was able to get a promotional discount for my neighborhood from Ring.com - $25 off.

Every time I posted they would take it down as spam.

I contacted the corporate office and explained that I was not in business and receiving no $ or product. I was trying to get more people to be able to afford a great security item that can be used to file a police report.

Instead of "looking into it" I was sent an e-mail telling me it was a very "spammy" sounding post and they did not want people to feel they were being spammed - BY 1 POST? Come on folks.

Worthless website filled with sniveling people with very small minds.

The worst part about Next Door is they play the role of a therapist in these groups whether they admit it or not. They monitor every word written and act on them as a therapist would act in a therapy group, the problem is there are not trained people working at Next Door. Even their CEO and founder has ZERO credentials. As far as I'm concerned that are as unethical a group a people as I've ever witnessed.

DO NOT TRUST!
June 13, 2022

I was on nextdoor and learned that Nextdoor is owned by an Indian. It's also India that is the source of many highly sophisticated hacks! The hacks often come through as an alert from your bank, something that involves one of your accounts, that has an unusually large charge. "If this isn't your charge please contact us immediately". They want you to contact them, slowly divulge your information, close your account and deposit it in Bitcoin or another account. They look soooooo real! DELETE THEM! Stay off of Nextdoor because it's easy to get details about you. When I tried to warn people in my neighborhood Nextdoor IMMEDIATELY banned me! If it wasn't true they would have argued the accusation.

Next Door Anti Racist Page has a very racist policy. Blue lives matter support allowed only if there is no perceived derogatory coments against BLM. No "white lives matter" support alowed to be expressed under any surcumstance. Complete support for BLM. Wow. That's the most racist anti-racist policy I've seen. George Soros making $$ contributions to "NextDoor" too?

Don't sign up. They sent a sh*t load of spams everyday. You can't unsubscribe from a single click. You have to sign in, and disable every single type of to notifications and there are more than 30 types of notifications. Worst website ever in terms of spam emails.

Censored!
February 27, 2017

I tried to have an open discussion dialogue with my "neighbors" and myself and my husbsnd were continually called namesand our character attacked. When I responded I was reported and nlocked from posting but they did me the favor of allowing me to still view posts... When I replied to Nextdoor to let them know that they should read the entire posts where we were attacked, cursed, etc. I received a message advising they would review but would not share the results with me.

These people are still posting and I am still blocked... This site is a joke. They pick and choose who they remove. Its funny that it appears to be based off of race. When black people defend themselves we are "angry" and need to be blocked. Meanwhile the white people that called us "$#*!ty human beings" and talking badly about our kids arr not... apparently thats ok... DO NOT USE NEXTDOOR!

Nextdoor is discriminatory, censorious and authoritarian against any views or opinions other than socialist, leftist, woke or pro-Democratic Party views or opinions.

Neighbors who post views or comments which reflect socialist, leftist, extreme or pro-Democratic Party views are allowed to do so, and are allowed to be shockingly rude, disrespectful and obnoxious to people posting opposing or dissenting viewpoints. People who post views or comments of a conservative, libertarian, capitalist, Republican or even of a moderate, traditional liberal nature, in a polite and respectful manner, often are suspended, without notice or explanation, by unnamed "local moderators."

There is no appeal process; there is no way to challenge a suspension or a ban; there is no way to understand specifically the reason for which one is suspended or banned.

Nextdoor is an Orwellian technology platform. The operation and management of Nextdoor is right out of the totalitarian playbook.

During a discussion of missing cats, someone from a nearby neighborhood stated that maybe these cats were the ones who had gone through her yard. I questioned her on what she meant and she said that "people sometimes trap and poison cats because they don't like them pooping in their yard". I did make multiple posts trying to get her to state what she knew about people killing cats, ad this is illegal in Indiana, and needed to be turned over to law enforcement. She then stated she felt I was "bullying" her and reported me to Nextdoor, who banned me for "overposting" and not being "neighborly". Now I am not able to contact anyone through Nextdoor to tell them that people in this neighborhood are talking about people killing and poisoning pets. Yes, I have screenshots.

Public Shaming
October 14, 2018

I guess I was suspended for public shaming by asking dog walkers to pick up their dogs feces from my yard. I did not use any names. I wouldn't know I was suspended since I was never informed of it. I just couldn't sign in and no one in my family could open an account using our address. BUT it is ok for people to tear down a local grocer (by name), a town official (by name) and to post pictures of supposed stalkers on foot and in cars. All those posts remained up.
