As my title indicates... A lot of useful information runs through... Sometimes good and sometimes bad... but... always very interesting!
Way too many old posts recycled as new posts in Nextdoor Digest. Some things stay on for weeks, even past the date of an event.
I would like it to be easier for people who are not tech savvy. I find it hard to get more of the info i want and less of the information I am not interested in. And how to get to a spot on the site that will show me where to go to find out what to do to solve this
Hello. Placing a review here so perhaps I could get a response from a person who works at NextDoor. I have 2 homes and tried to set up 2 Nextdoors. The app really makes it difficult to set up more than 1 home location therefore I used my first name twice. Evidently this program verifies your legal name against your address and because they do not like my name I am removed from using the application. Is this discrimination? Next door please clean this up!
I like asking for referrals and appreciate the feed back on questions about out area. It's a public forum for discussion
I like it. It helps us stay connected. Even if I can' read it every day, I enjoy the updates and appreciate the photos, alerts, etc. from my neighbors.
When we choose NextDoor we did not want advertising. Now they are allowing real estate agents to post on our neighborhood feeds. Time to find another platform.
I love Nextdoor Neighbor. We are able to look up and obtain feedback on businesses, recommendations on different services. We
Can review all the pro & con's on the services you are needing. I feel word of mouth references by people who have actually had that particular service is the best type of recommendation.
Thank you for giving us this great site.

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 enjoy checking in with Nextdoor for all different kinds of neighborhood information offered on the site including safety issues, for sale/free items, and events of all kinds.
I use Nextdoor for all kinds of information and recommendations. I'm so glad we have this kind of platform to share amongst our community.
I appreciate the "neighborhood" feel of this resource. Generally speaking, people use it as it was intended. While on occasion, comments can get very "high school", for the most part it is a valuable resource that makes the World, just little smaller, more connected and friendly.
The one thing that bothers me is that people should know/realize that if someone is looking for a handyman today and then someone else needs one tomorrow, they don't need to post the same question.
Very informative and very good neighbors that care about their neighborhoods we need more of us to get involve watch out for one another.
I like Nextdoor as it keeps me in the loop as to what's going on in my neighborhood and surrounding areas. From break-ins to yard sales, I feel more connected to my neighborhood.
Good: Notices of upcoming events, recommendations for reliable contractors, items for sale.
Bad: "Soap box" on-line behavior in response to something as simple as "my car was broken into last night..." flavored with references to "scum" or "dirt bags" or other people as "POS" combined with not-so-subtle references to the "criminal element" which is now part of our neighborhood population but was once not present (read: people of color). I find all that distasteful and unnecessary, but remain a part of NextDoor due to the "good" still out-weighing the "bad," at least for now.
Nextdoor is very helpful to me in many ways. Some examples are 1) referrals for home services, restaurants, auto repair and barbers. 2) Neighborhood issues like crime, insects and stray cats. While most contributors are helpful, others have strange or hostile inputs. Sometimes the site administrator will improperly take sides with the perpetrator of an argument simply because that person submitted a complaint. I understand that it needs to be kept constructive but that can be quite tricky sometimes. I don't like improper advice to be disseminated so I try to diplomatically state the correct point of view.
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.
