Nextdoor

NextDoor is run by Liberals, not Conservatives. There is no moderation at all. Cyber bullies lurk and viciously attack those whose speech they want to silence. If you post anything critical about anything or anyone and don't say "the sun is shining and the birds are singing" in the liberal pc utopia, you will be attacked, and your comments or entire thread will be deleted. Plus you will get a totally canned response from NextDoor. All of their responses always have the same wording. It's like robots send out the responses. I would not recommend this site to anyone. My advice to all is to stay away from NextDoor. It divides neighbors and pits them against each other. The NextDoor support staff is totally immature and irresponsible and incompetent, and they don't care.

While i am grateful to have made real friends, no one seems to be in charge and suspensions occur abruptly and without cited reasons. The Guidelines are randomly enforced - or not at all - so you get nasty, mean-spirited name calling, lies, and false accusations. This social platform sounds inviting, but it's not good for your mental health. There are so many others to choose from. This should not be one of them.

The app if used for its intended purpose would be great. I agree with many other reviews on here that if you have a different view than the majority you will be ripped apart. A neighbor started a post about my family and when I asked the lead politely and respectfully to remove it due to all the stress it was causing, he flat out said no. The next door moderators refused as well. Stay away from this vile nasty app... You'll save yourself a lot of misery from dealing with nasty mean people.

I'm met many of my neighbors and learned about a lot of community events on Nextdoor. Much more aware of petty crime in the Neighborhood, as these types of crimes don't often show up in crime stats. Because you can't rely on facial expressions or tone of voice when online, it is sometimes hard to evaluate where others are coming from. But once I met my neighbors in person, I realized that they just sound more strident online then in person. Site works really well for finding lost pets. If people follow the guidelines, the site is great.

So yeah, basically the creators of this "service" knew what they were doing. Bunch of NOSY neighbors trying to create the conditions for MOB RULE mentality.

They tried to disguise it as some "neighborhood focused" social media thing. It's so sad it's almost funny. Until they go and inspire the next lynching or witch hunt. Make no mistake this site is the regurgitated bile of society's worst smelling excrement: the People of the Green Lawns and lily white aprons. So let's see how far this goes before people get hurt beyond repair.

The biased handling of content by the "Leads" is of concern, who tend to be a small group of (mostly white) men, who seem to resent women who have opinions on anything other than casserole recipes. My account got suspended after a minor disagreement of opinion with a neighbor, there was no discussion, no example, nor explanation, just a canned message stating "violated terms not being helpful" despite having four years of membership. If it's truly a "neighborhood" forum, one would expect there would be dialogue to clear up any misunderstandings.

Nextdoor wants to be the neighbor everyone wants to adore. But it really just wants to collect data.

Nextdoor changes perimeters of maps without any real notification so you really don't know how far away someone really resides. There appears to be no one questioning the verification processes. In fact, I am not sure they even use a verification process.

It also blocks a lot of comments for questionable reasons. Leads are power tripping, and back stabbing in some cases.

Not sure it will fit much of anyone's needs other than list lost pets and did you lose your electric.

NextDoor or ND is an ad marketing firm that feasts off of the communities they prey on through their community member-owners. In-turn, some of the resident owners get to carry out political agendas and avenge their disagreements with local neighbors by banning or restricting their comments or even suspending a resident all together. This is done under the guise of limiting offensive or objectionable comments. Worthy statements for sure. But in actuality the "ND Leads" side with their abusive friends to determine whose comments should be penalized. Ultimately, this assures ND's continued demised.
