Helps ln many ways, home security, sales and postings of lost and found and most of all safety issues!
Great format for connecting neighbors and other neighborhoods.It has been very helpful conveying important information and finding lost pets. :)
While I enjoy the ability to converse with my neighbors, I believe the moderators allow their biases to decide who's posts remain and who's get deleted. Very frustrating.
I stopped receiving notifications a week ago. Not sure how to start receiving them again. I don't k ow why they stopped. I am not computer savvy lol!
It's good to get and give recommendations for local businesses (roofers, plumbers, landscaping, etc.). It's also just good to connect with people in the neighborhood.
Does anyone use nextdoor.com I thought it was a site for interacting with the people in your neighborhood. In my neighborhood the only posts allowed are from irresponsible people who keep losing their pets, bigots who badger the less fortunate or call the police if a pigmented person walks by their house on the way to the light rail, and persistent, ignorant, paranoid alarmists who rejoice in spreading false information far and wide. The site leads have no clue what their responsibilities are so that's all they allow. Try to offer an informed opinion (about drinking water, no less) and your posts will be deleted. Just the blind leading the blind. The country is devolving at an alarming pace. I'll pass.
While ND has good intention and operates on promoting local advertising, its guideline and lack of support leaves a huge room for community to turn against one another. For example, I've seen personal information posted online with one-sided stories, false claims, verbal attacks, intentional or unintentional to cause harms to others. ND will only interfere when the bullies complains without proper review to make sure the complain is valid and with merit. If you lived under "socialist-communist" society previously, you'll recognize that how ND operates: bully and the strong prevails, the weak, the kind and the considerate will be weeded out.
I'm on our HOA board and the information that is distributed is basically for our subdivision. Therefore most of the info is restricted to just our subdivision. However on a wider scale the neighborhoods have been successful in overcoming some zoning requests that would adversely affect our area.
Wish there was a way that those that have moved out of our subdivision could be removed from our group.
It seems that there is a group that uses Calistoga Next door as their organizing tool against the city government. They are extremely negative and seem to find safety in numbers since there are only a few who will post an opposing view. Also, one of their leaders has also has some supervisory role in monitoring Calistoga Next door. I know that many who originally recommended Nextdoor are not using it because of this situation.
Nextdoor has been a tremendous help in keeping up with local issues. I can hear about local police activity, find stuff that I need, and get advice about the area.
I have always had a rather good experience using Nextdoor and learning
New things. If I have a problem or don't know what procedure should be applied, I ask and I get a very nice rep helping me to handle problems a certain way. I always get the right answer which makes every one happy.
I read it every day and find out what's going on the surrounding areas.
Ie problems, residents looking for recommendations on various problems or just giving information. I find NextDoor is quite informative.
I find it useful for the most part, especially since members are verified, so I can confidently post job openings, sell items, and ask for help with anything. However, I have noticed the typical bias against conservatives--they get kicked off for benign reasons, while liberals get away with a lot more. I don't ever get political on it, just my observation, which bothers me.
Overall I find Nextdoor informative and helpful. I wish it was a little more intuitive to find older posts, but perhaps that's me. I like being kept informed of neighborhood activities, concerns, alerts, lost and found, etc.
Thanks to postings on Nextdoor, I've learned where break-ins have occurred in the area, who's having a charity lemonade stand, whose pet is missing so I can help watch out for them, and gained important information about events affecting the neighborhood such as the potential loss of Ty's Automotive and the latest construction delays on College Ave. I've gotten recommendations on people providing services, and warnings about those to avoid. It's a valuable resource that I check every day.
I have been trying to resolve the same issue with the Nextdoor app since about February. I have sent email after email after email asking why nothing is being done to resolve the issue with basic and canned responses in return.
All I get told is that they are sending the information over to tech support who will be in touch. Yet, not once has anyone from tech contacted me.
As well, the same person, Rea, that answers my emails... albeit days and sometimes a week later... asks me for the same information repeatedly as though they never received it, or they simply dropped the ball and disregard it to begin with.
I have sent screenshots from my laptop as well as my phone.
I am completely unable to sign into the app at all. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, changed my password, and have tried to access it from both my personal email as well as from my business email all to no avail.
So, from this point forward I am of the opinion that they simply do not care about the entrepreneurs of this country.
Nextdoor simply sucks.
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.
