Next door is very restrictive in the conduct and comments allowed. Relative to visiting an HOA and learning to exit stage right. Statements and comments are misinterpreted to their way of thinking.
Next Door users take advantage of comments they choose to be offensive when they're not.
It appears Nextdoor is run by Right-Wing conspiracy theorists. Many of ND guidelines are violated by their own Moderators and Team Leads. They post right-wing articles and attack anyone who disagrees with their views. Neighbors, who have reported them, usually end up being suspended. Yet, a neighbor who posted pictures of flowers and their dog had all of their posts removed LOL. Team leads often have duplicate accounts and, even tho those accounts are reported, ND allows them continue.
ND censors speech they or their monitors don't like, such as conservative factual speech. Choose another platform! For example there is Conservative Club group that I am a member of and all too often good, honest interaction is censored by monitors claiming that the monitor did not pull the post.
Horribly racist & useless.
I Haven't sold a thing on its marketplace, which has a free section that people post items with price sheets in the pictures, with a listing price of free, violating terms. I have been advertising on their platform for over a year as an operations manager, and as an individual, and got zero business leads.
It's discrimination, and your account will be suspended to argue that there is no white privilege, only american privilege. I'm told white privilege is a thing, and many people on the app openly embrace that anti-american ideology, but you can't post your opinion, at least not if youre white. It is somehow discrimination to inform your neighbors that there are illegal aliens living in the woods, with a link to the news article explaining that 3 have already murdered one citizen, while another was just found dead hiking, and let's not forget the woman found dead on the ma/pa trail! Or any of the children raped, murdered, some even in human sacrificial executions, in this country, usa, by illegal aliens the democrats have allowed into our country.
They actively censor speech that they don't like, so unless you lost a pet, this app is worthless!
When consumers give value information about corrupt businesses such as Annabelle's Pet Care-Nextdoor will permanently kick off the whistle blower and protect snd promote the illegal business. It's as if they take kickbacks from illegal businesses to hide their corruption.
I have heard about Karen's on this site. Yep! This Karen objected to me adding a laughing emoji to her inaccurate over emotional rant. She messaged me and continued the rant. I responded and then blocked her. Note-I never threatened her. I challenged her lack of facts. Of course, she whined and I was the one suspended. I read through the guidelines. No, I did not nothing wrong. I appealed and they still insisted in suspending me. I can't wait until the suspension is up. The Karen is going down!
If there was a zero star review….
Do not trust the Nextdoor app as they do not monitor for scammers, animal trafficking from illegal backyard breeders and act on false reports that lock out legitimate users. Their staffing is terrible and customer service incompetent. My account was locked from someone making a false report. Be careful what you post as there are people using this app to get into your personal information. Ring is a far superior place for finding out important neighborhood posts regarding criminal activity and lost pets. Nextdoor is a ridiculous excuse of an attempt at social media.
Nextdoor fails to take into account that not all neighbors are friendly and safe. I question what the true endgame of Nextdoor is, as they refuse to allow you to only use first names. Recently, I was stalked and harassed by neighbors who think it is okay to racially profile and put up questionable, second hand stories about an incident involving another person from another site and the "supposed" men of a certain ethnicity that did not do anything to her, she just "felt" suspicious. It wasn't until I filed a formal complaint to Nextdoor that they took the post down. The point being that they do not monitor the content that is put up and leave the site open for people to post whatever they want. The creators of this app seem oblivious to the fact that we don't live in some utopian society where every single neighbor is as wholesome as The Andy Griffith Show and that we don't want to reveal our full identities to a possible crazed neighbor. There was a mob mentality forming on the particular post and the damage has already been done. They just open themselves up to lawsuits.
Most contacts that comes across if consecutive, will be taken down. Their moderation does little good. I have seen six to one to keep a comment or post up and nextdoor still take it down. One good way of getting kick off, just support Trump. In fact the name national politics from the main feed just because of it. It is ok to mention BLM but don't mention any white groups. If you do, plan on getting banned fo thirty days.
This platform is a good idea, but the way it's run stinks. I was kicked off because a rogue Lead & his buds shuts down political opposition by making mass email complaints. ND's robotic response is to kick out anyone complained about.
It has the potential to be a useful resource for keeping posted on neighborhood events and happenings but unfortunately attracts too many dysfunctional busybodies who have way too much time on their hands.
Endless rants and complaining from bitter hateful people about the most trivial things with nasty and mean spirited insults back and forth. It discourages participation or involvement in even the most benign topics of discussion like "if you're not picking up your dogs poo after it goes in the grass you are a vile^%*#^*^& horrible person not worthy of the air you breath." It's scary to read some of the comments of people who "want to pass laws" to persecute those who don't agree with them. (God forbid you bring up anything remotely related to politics or religion!) So, it ends up being a magnet for opinionated self appointed "geniuses" who bully the dissenters right off the platform.
Normal, balanced people with a life will have little time for this soap box.
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.
