I enjoy having Nextdoor as a resource for businesses, recommendations, items for sale, events, and alerts. It was also wonderful to read the writings of our neighborhood poet. I hope he was not prevented from posting as his writings were like a breath of fresh air. I think politics should be kept out of the posting unless they are closely monitored.
I love having a place to go for recommendations and again I love love that people find neighbors fur babies and keep them, post pictures and try to find their owner!
Great place to see what's happening, give away items and sell items. My only complaint is sometimes people use it to complain about neighborhood issues.
I appreciate all of the informative postings. Information about the proposed zoning changes as well as neighborhood security. I would like to see a portion of this site dedicated to selling merchandise. My daughter lives in Meridian Kessler and she buys and sells children's toys clothes strollers etc and has purchased like new Pottery Barn bookcases cribs and child table and chairs at 1/4 original price!
I very much like having this for our area in order to be aware of all that is going on, such as crime, things to watch out for and community events. Thank you for providing this outlet for our area.
Next door provides the easiest manner in which neighbors can communicate quickly with each other. Whether an emergency or simply a notification, I find it to be a terrific place to connect with my neighbors.
I like the connection with Peachtree Corners. Like knowledge of companies, restaurants openings. Would like less bashing.
I appreciate hearing from my neighbors. Someone even posted about my cat that was lost & I went over & picked it up. Concerns & awareness, I believe, keep us informed & social. Since times are not like they used to be, this works for keeping in touch with those people nearby. I was able to donate some computer equipment I didn't need any more to several people (one was a student learning to work on computers, another was someone who fixed them up for a learning center for their church). You can get advice, referrals, & warnings for your immediate area. I like it, even though sometimes people get testy with their opinions.
I would appreciate a telephone call from you. *******864 I would prefer to speak to you rather than do a written description.
I like the referrals for restaurants and other needs. Also, warnings about thieves, etc.
Nothing else to say
Nextdoor has helped us retrieve stolen items found by a neighbor, it's allowed us to let a family know their babysitter was being abusive, through it we've found great deals on kids items and we've sold or given away a lot of our things utilizing this site. One of my only wishes for ND would be the capability to copy and paste a link in a thread or say, if one person is missing a cat, and another person posts about finding a cat, that you could connect those people by being able to share a link to their thread in the comments of their post, instead of having to waste your time explaining that someone else on the site posted about their cat, etc. So yeah- being able to share a link from a Nextdoor post on another Nextdoor post would be awesome. Thanks for asking we love your service!
NextDoor is a great site/app that provides lots of terrific and timely neighborhood information. We find it helpful in many ways; crime alerts, neighborhood events, items for sale/free, lost pets, and recommendations.
Very little useful info for me. More gossip than anything else. I would like to have an emergency notice section.
Helpful - most of the time. Sometimes the "experts" get a little out of hand but, you can't control that.
I most appreciate the lost pet information. I think lots of pets have found their way home due to the site.
Overall I appreciate the service provided.
I like when police activity, crimes that happened in my neighborhood and other events are reported in real time. Much more targeted then local news.
Our neighborhood is 55+ which means we are old... or at least older! Nextdoor is a hard sell to some of our neighbors due to age, infirmity, attitude or suspicion. Surprisingly, we have achieved about 50% penetration, but the second' 50% will be impossible.
I like the ease of finding out the goings on of my neighborhood. Whether it's yard sales, new people moving in or out, or just wishing everyone a Happy Easter, or Merry Christmas. It's also a way to meet your neighbors.
I don't know that there is a better way to do this, but I saw a Nextdoor as a grown-up, community version of Facebook. It has evolved into a childish, juvenile version of my space to some people. The good news is that no one is anonymous, but the bad news is that nobody wants to play by the rules, and inevitably we get to get messages about some perceived crisis or offering of services
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.
When neighbors start talking, good things happen.
