I stopped to the grocery store long enough to purchase 1 item. It was 8:30 in the morning, 68 degrees outside and far cooler inside my car has the AC had been turned to max for the sake of my dog. I didn't feel it was necessary to put out my sign because it was so cool. Still when I returned I was met with a raging woman accusing me of animal cruelty. She proceeded to post a hateful post on Nextdoor that went of course viral for 5 days with all these crazy's who don't car about the facts of the matter spewing there hate at me. Unfortunately it has also impacted my business. It's not a matter of loving and protecting dogs. I love dags. It's a matter of people getting a hit from abusing another and done safely because it's under the cover of their just cause.
Our community is in the process of a recall of two trustees. ND admins are interfering with the process because they are friends with the people being recalled. They take down pro recall posts that have not broken any rules, suspended pro recall accounts and promoted misinformation. It's been reported to ND and they have done absolutley nothing.
Do not use this site. Nextdoor has closed more company's then it has helped. Please do not use them. They will distroy your business and future
NextDoor is a terrible app with terrible moderators. There is constant bullying. One member even took the time to write down my last name, and continue using it, even though I asked him not to. I had asked him several times to not use my full name (I had changed it to the setting first name last initial).
In addition, the new "neighbor" accounts who pose now as businesses are quite shady, poor grammar, poor videos, and unprofessional with how repetitive they are. NextDoor is losing a lot of money by allowing those ads to post freely.
There is a lot of bullying, drama, and nonsense in NextDoor,
Please do Not download this app.
They just decide, blocked, and removed postings at the whims and fancies! Their own interpretation however they like. See this post below! What so disrespectful about my comments?
Gatling Tree Service did some extensive work for me. They were knowledgeable and very responsive. The price was fair and reasonable. I highly recommend them!
NextDoor engages in discriminatory practices and unequal application of its own policies and guidelines to censor conservative leaning views.
It's turned into a place for panhandling, scamming, spreading conspiracy theories, and selling yourself as a professional when people want honest recommendations for real professionals. The two worst issues for me are 1. The "why can't we just get along" remarks where people are too busy monitoring others to monitor their own behavior, and 2. The Gofundme begging because next door has a lot of easy marks and people who don't know you.
I believe this site and undisclosed administrators make up their own community guidelines. It's very subjective. They will remove and disable your account purely due to stating facts about vandalism. If you try to voice your opinion about the site or your frustration with administration, forget it. Terrible site overall in regards to ease of use. One of their posting categories is about safety, but when you post details about safety they'll remove the post and disable your account.
I have screen shot of people threatening to shoot black children(reviewer), another reviewer calls the president a pedofile(this person is both on welcome and review team) and those are just two I can think of right off but I have it all documented. Oh one reviewer was telling everyone on the main wall someone was around because they got banned. These people never lose thier titles though and keep right on doing the same things. You go to the Facebook page and then it clicks because they're let the real them come. I mean more than they do here. You can write to support and hose people "may" get a day or 4 maybe but then right back at it. They ride and gang up on people they don't like.You are much better off to stay on Facebook. I am not MAGA either they think they're the only ones targeted but they are not. Not only do they ban at the drop of hat they bans go by the person not the violation. I got a 1 day ban in January now July it goes right THIRTY. So I asked to see the violations, and I responded with ROFL that equals a THIRTY day ban? Heck next time I will actually do something to warrant a THIRTY day ban.
Ive done so much on there helped so many people got help but the moderation team operates on power trips. I bought 25% of my neighborhood to nextdoor by sending invites.
Folks please the reviews and go to their Facebook page and read all the negative post. Only people who like this site I think are the moderators and there is a LOT.
The site is filled with mostly leftist which will get you banned in a second. If you post a verse out of the Bible you're banned. Raise the wrong question about COVID you're banned. Raise a question about climate change, banned. Question solar power, banned. It's full of service handyman ripoffs. I could go on but will end with the leftist don't get banned.
Not worth the time to visit. Serves no useful purpose. Busybodies that obsess over trivial matters and spend time virtue signaling.
You can't post the truth or exercise freedom of speech on Nextdoor, or they will ban or delete you. There is a group here in Lawton, Oklahoma called "extreme leftist" that openly calls white people racist and devil advocates and claims that most white people are, in fact, devout racists and believe they are superior to black folks. However, if you refute the hate speech they are spewing and report them, not only is no action taken against them, but you, the person being called a racist, are given a warning stating that disagreeing and being offended by being called a racist is in fact, a form of racism, or denial and that groups supporting "equity" have pretty much free reign to call whoever they want a racist, and anyone not aligning with the radical views must indeed not help minorities and is a klan member. The members of this group outright insult and offend the community, but nothing is done about it.
As a founder and ex lead I saw first hand the inconsistent decisions by moderators. Obvious disrespect towards a person was left up and it seems for bias. Another reason to remove a post is the context sets off moderators because somehow they feel the comment is harmful. They are determined to remove it so they have a broad rule. No local topic outside of a group. I have had a rule changed just by having them look at it closer. I plan on suggesting they stop censoring unless it breaks the rules set out in the guidelines directly. Maybe moderators need moderators.
ND is OK for local activities, restaurant recs.--had it 2 yrs.
If s/o goes political, I've replied sometimes, never w/insults, snark, etc.
But my account was suspended 3 days for "bullying"--which I never do online or in-person. I replied to ND, got no reply; I deleted App!
1/4 is jackwads complaining about anything and everything, 1/4 is lost pets and what is the animal insect of the day, 1/4 is thefts in the area and 1/4 might be slightly helpful and/or interesting... Junk overall... Unless you want to weed through the junk.
In my neighborhood the local mods flag and ban pride posts, I have been threatened, had my address posted, and seen so much bigotry and homophobia.
I do not recommend nextdoor unless you want to hear people constantly complain about stupid $#*!. I thought this was a app to connect with neighborsfor odd jobs and things like that.
Ms. Handi did an outstanding job handing our round mirror. I highly recommend her for your mounting task.
It's a bunch of argumentative cry babies and the people that run it are super liberal so if you're part of that group then disregard my advice and you'll fit in just great!
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.
