I've learned so much about my city and the people that live here. NextDoor keeps me updated on events around the area. I am definitely in the loop on how people feel about local politics. I've picked up several items from neighbors - fresh produce, bulbs, cast off clothing, furniture, pet supplies, etc. Most importantly, I've met some nice people.
Multiple posts were removed with no notice or reason. None actually violated community guidelines or user agreement (my lawyer checked). Claims to be a platform, but curates content. I see a lawsuit in their near future. For the record, removed posts were asking for pointers to prevent or treat a rash my son got from chewing/suckinf on masks (he's 6) and direct quotes of CDC website (with source links)
Not sure how "Leads" are selected but we have one that is out of control. Deletes people's post when she doesn't agree with them. Locks her own posts so no one can response to her. And if she doesn't like you she can have your account locked. Such a horrible process. NextDoor needs to put their own moderators in place, because all it takes is one person like this lady to run everyone off of the NextDoor site for our neighborhood.
If you subscribe they will then send letters to neighbours purporting to come from you with your name and address on the envelopes as sender. A clear breach of data protection laws and possible identity fraud. It is then impossible to get them to reply or unsubscribe. They are clearly harvesting personal details for dubious purposes. Stay well clear!
Nextdoor is basically a data mining website, it appears they are only interested in selling you. Today I asked to have my account permanently deleted. I was suspended a second time after defending myself against a troll who was spreading misinformation about covid. I wonder if Nextdoor is a getting paid by the Trump campaign or Republican Party because the site is full of right wing trolls, racist trolls, and trolls spreading misinformation about Covid-19. I made a mistake by going back, I just wanted to purchase somethings for sale but never again.
There was a heated comment thread on blacks lives matter and the police. The person who posted the comment claimed his blue thin line flag was vandalized without showing pictures. There was no proof of who committed the vandalism. The ensuing comments were racist, I reported the person who posted the original comment and racists comments. I then had my account disabled and still not reinstated a day later. I believe my neighbors retaliated against and reported my account as a fake profile. I am now afraid of which neighbors made hateful comments. Nextdoor is scary, they do not address people who are there to just stir up anger and division.
Stay away from this site. Nextdoor does not devote any effort or resources to checking comments that are reported. Trolls learn all they have to do is report a comment and Nextdoor will suspend an account without even glancing at the comment to see if it actually violated any guidelines. And, they suspend accounts without any warning. This means people can be silenced simply because someone else disagrees with what they have had to say. This social media site is a mess and I deleted my account because of their practices. And, they do nothing about actual bullying. Nextdoor sucks folks, don't go there.
Some crazy person posted about clocking the speed, because doesn't everyone have their own damn radar gun, of a lady and then posted pictures of her. This is insane. Mind your business people. BTW - the driver was only going 43 mph in a 30, for the love.
The service doesn't have paid moderators and they don't police the ones they have. They allowed one lady to make threatening comments for two weeks about a neighbor she never met who she thinks "stole" her feral cat. The cat turned up later but not after some unsuspecting guy got trash thrown on his yard.
I agree, NextDoor makes Russian and Chinese Governmental censors look positively inexperienced and lacking in ambition. Nextdoor recommends neighbors to report illegal activity and watch out for their neighbor. Yet, when an illegal activity is photographed and posted, the account holder's account is Removed. Nextdoor should be active in solving crime and assist in holding the law breakers accountable. NO, Nextdoor does not like anything negative posted on NextDoor. They are more concerned with posting lost cats and dogs. Posting pictures of trespassers caught in the act would be helpful for other neighbors, Stay away, NextDoor.com is a terrible platform, FaceBook is much better.
Just like other social media sites, they only flag something as "political" if you disagree with their side (obviously left wingers). Some comments are deleted while others can remain. I deleted my account as I don't want to associate with such corruption.
We started Next Door soon after we organized Neighborhood Watch-- as a way to easily keep in touch. It's very good for returning stray dogs to their owners or finding competent service people to hire. We were annoyed that we could not get access for our sheriff's dept liaison so that he would be aware of anything we observed amiss. He's not a resident here, but even when we tried using one of our addresses he was excluded.
So happy with this site. Constant news and updates about accidents, help finding lost animals, post items for sale, recommendations for doctors or restaurants... ask a question, get an answer. Love that the neighbors are there for each other, through this site.
Site for pearl-clutching hall monitors intent on quashing one's First Amendment rights. You'll be banned if you don't kiss $#*! with the moderators, who will be one of your retired neighbors with lots of time on their hands and few active synapses.
I appreciate all of the informative postings. Information about the proposed zoning changes as well as neighborhood security. I would like to see a portion of this site dedicated to selling merchandise. My daughter lives in Meridian Kessler and she buys and sells children's toys clothes strollers etc and has purchased like new Pottery Barn bookcases cribs and child table and chairs at 1/4 original price!
I like Next Door, even though I don't use other social media. I especially value finding out about crimes in the surrounding area, about lost and found pets, and recommendations from others for handymen, plumbers, electricians, pool service, new restaurants and businesses, etc. It is very helpful.
This website is a CANCER for a neighborhood. It lets all the keyboard tough guys make false accusations, spread rumors, and stir up trouble, all because they didn't get their way at a board meeting. Instead of people coming together and acting like adults and discussing their problems, Nextdoor gives them a forum to bully, troll, and harass. If you want to ruin your community, join away. You will quickly see the nut jobs... I mean "leads" take over and ruin the way your community functions.
I have enjoyed using Nextdoor immensely since I heard about it back in 2013. It keeps getting better as groups are added that help to inform each neighborhood what is going on close by. It has helped bring neighbors together who may never have connected. It gives you a feeling of security as you can reach out to all your neighbors if you need help. I look forward to the future growth and where it will take us.
Nextdoor is great for communication in our area. The increase presence of ads is Annoying! I wish there was a way to reward the businesses when they receive positive fair reviews such that they would actively pursue that praise. Users could rely on ratings; businesses receive word of mouth recommends and ND s volume grows.
I would have not given any stars. It is worthless. Intolerant to the max. Can not discuss any HOA problems. Reason, might hurt other neighbors feelings. That is a lot of BS too me. I was blocked because I had a alias but my real name was in my account settings. I believe they sell your info because they are funded by some banks. The leads don't care and they like to use words like diversity and inclusion which makes me want to gag. I blame also a good percentage of our neighbors because they easily report you and cry foul. I stood up to next-door and quickly terminated my account. Found something better.
When women have abusers and stalkers or even live alone, they would rather not put their full or correct last name. Only recently a "neighbor" that has PM many women to harass them was called out on his behavior. All of a sudden after 2 yrs my last name is problem. Which means he was trying to research me. He has already shown up at 2 neighbors houses unannounced and has mailed a burnt card to someone else, all who have called him out on his behavior. I cannot follow what is going on and how they are handling the situation on the site because I refuse to put my real last name. I suppose after some people get hurt or worse will their rule on real last names change. Like they think all neighbors are good and just want to chat with you. This isn't Mayberry.
