I check on this website at least once a day. So far it has helped several members find their lost pets and share their stories with us. I always know when prowlers are lurking and anything weird or dangerous is happening in our neighborhood as well as local events taking place.
I love the Nextdoor app. Fortunately, ive never seen any negative posts. It's all been very helpful. I'm not concerned about having to divulge my address because anyone who is on it has also divulged their address.
Love Nextdoor for service referrals, and general info on what's happening around me. Being older, single, with no kids - I don't have the usual ways to connect with neighbors. I have also acquired, for free or low cost, some needed items from their postings. Invaluable to this self-employed Dance Teacher, who works odd hours, but has been here for decades;~)
Nextdoor is an excellent source of neighborhood news, information on nearby medical professionals, repair services, dining, just about anything. You can ask for help, sell stuff, help solve others' problems, and get help with your own.
3 weeks trying to get my business verified. Sent in back statements with the company name listed. Still wont verify because they cant understand that in small coastal towns of the pacific NW you have a street address where you DONT get mail and another address where you do. Thats ok From what Ive read now online glad I havent spent any money advertising here.
Big Scam! First red flag is return address - no actual street number and not even mailed from my state. The person listed as the sender does not own property in our county. Find a better use of your time.
I have found this company Nextdoor very intrusive with Ads and unreliable for oversight in content. It's too bad Nextdoor has been bought by corporations that pay advertisements rather than focus on small businesses and actual neighborhood run services.
The crime & safety part of Nextdoor is useful. It's good to know what's going on in your area. I wish someone provided this info separately.
Nextdoor attracts opinionated people who have to be right. After some time there, you realize how much better life was before you knew anything about your neighbors. Everyone was nice because they didn't cross boundaries, and get into cliques and gossip. The old saying is true: fences make good neighbors. Nextdoor cultivates the opposite of that. It brings out ugliness, competitiveness, hubris. I'll never go back.
I finally deleted my account as there are way too many who obviously have nothing better to do. Tried to make some money by walking/boarding dogs and the minute I posted regarding services, they slapped my hand. Funny how when others kids post about mowing grass, etc., they stay on the site for months! Donna B - you are so right!
I like feeling connected with people in our small town through Nextdoor. I've met some lovely neighbors, found outlets for my fruit, learned from others experiences, gotten some good recommendations. Even the negative posts can give you insight into who to avoid. I love that we are an animal loving group and care passionately about our town.
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.
