Nextdoor

Well they keep at it, so do I. Surprised I'm still allowed on the site. It's always the same thing, I was offending others, bullying, or making racist comments. Oh, you mean anything like, " Black Lives Matter only caused nation wide kaos, even deaths as a result. Riots, looting and fires." Or, " George Floyd wasn't murdered by police, he died as a result of too much fentanyl in his system " The reason they were found guilty of murder, was due to extreme fear of what would happen if they were found innocent. You see, you can only be in support of the disgusting woke agenda. You can't say anything against it. Or you are a racist. If I say, I love BLM, thats allowed, If I say All lives matter, that isn't. Recently, I posted about the problem with all these Asylum Seekers flowing across the border non stop, and how its putting a strain on cities everywhere. And they need to shut it down, before there isn't much of an America left. I received an account suspension ( another one) Yes, some ultra sensitive weasel of a moderator, probably from Venezuela, decided they did not like what I said. If I say, " Yes, I'm so happy that they let anyone into the U.S. anymore, even if it's not sustainable " Then that's ok. This is what the site does, makes up its own rules as it goes along. People can call me names, but I can't call them anything in return. This is the most disgusting, woke site I have ever seen. If you are missing your cat, its good, if you found some ones housekey, or phone, its useful for that. This site cherry picks what can be said, by who. This site is bias and unfair to whites. Most of the people on Nextdoor live in some kind of comfort bubble, that is too easily damaged, they would not last one minute in the real world.

After using Facebook for years, going to Nextdoor is like another world. Anyone can report your comment, and you'll find yourself with a Disabled Account. I posted an article about health and safety regarding COVID, for those in my community to read, titled, "NIH director says wearing masks is not 'optional' to curb pandemic's spread". I was told this was not allowed. Uh, why? People post about fireworks scaring their pet, but updates on staying safe, is crossing a line? I created a group, and an individual was repeatedly removed for posting harassing comments and conspiracy theory, and 3 messages to the ONLY Lead, asking if this person could be blocked from the group, offered NO response. I posted in mid-July about my ex having a party of roughly 100 people for his birthday, none wore masks, and my young adult children were there. I got useful information from neighbors, on who to contact about testing. I never gave a name, or home address just my ND area where this happened, so no one there knew who my ex was. My comments to those being helpful were respectful and I ignored those that were hateful, and were they hateful. My account was Disabled for 3 days, and these were the reasons I was given for why. In the last month, my account was disabled twice because they said someone reported that I moved, when I had not. They give 24 hrs to respond. The first time I missed that deadline and it was a hassle to get it reinstated. Then I got an email saying I wasn't using my real name. I have only ever used my real name. I sent a copy of my license as proof.
I will say, it is a good place to get a quick response if you need to hire a handyman for a home repair. I therefore give it 2 stars as it is not only a retake on Angie's List, but meant to be a community service tool. But ONLY if they agree with you.

I joined Nextdoor in the hope of helping my apartment community and surrounding neighbors where I work as I am an employee and I also have lived in the building for 4 years. I had someone bring to Nextdoor's attention that I no longer LIVE in the building and therefore can no longer help the residents in the building EVEN THOUGH I work in the building full time and am always looking for help those I can. Nextdoor emailed me and said that because I no longer reside in the building that my account has to be deactivated. I explained that I grew up in the neighborhood and also work full time in the neighborhood so I still felt that I could be of value to those that need it. They emailed me back and said that it doesn't matter that I grew up in the neighborhood and work in it, it's not where I currently LIVE so I have to change my account or they have to delete it. I'm very disappointed with this. I'm sad that Nextdoor wasn't willing to allow me to help those in my work neighborhood. I work at an apartment complex so it would have been really nice to try and find people homes here that may have been looking or if they need anything else.

This is a terrible local social media hub that is working to control communications in the USA. They are allies with Black Lives Matter and ban people who disagree with BLM progressive democrat propaganda. I was a community lead for three years and posted a Guardian article about lead poisoning in black Americans that questioned the reason for low IQ and combativeness in this group as being from systemic racism by whites. Several other neighbors agreed with me. They labelled it hate speech and banned me from the site. This is from their website:

We stand in solidarity with Black neighbors
As a company, Nextdoor supports the Black Lives Matter movement. All Lives Matter and Blue LivesMatter content is explicitly prohibited when used to undermine racial equality or the Black LivesMatter movement. Support for White Lives Matter is prohibited on Nextdoor. Learn more about our
Commitment to support Black neighbors.

We use technology to fight bias
Since 2015, we have partnered with Dr. Jennifer L. Eberhardt, a social psychologist and the author of
Biased, to better understand how Nextdoor can mitigate implicit bias – i. E. unconscious forms of prejudice that influence our actions. We found that adding some friction to the posting process helpsslow people down and consider their own implicit bias. We also developed a new feature called the, which automatically flags offensive or hurtful comments and encourages theauthor to be more kind and thoughtful when they post. Ultimately, these tactics have led to a 75% decrease in racial profiling on the app.

We took this one step further with the launch of the anti-racism notification that detects language that could be specifically discriminatory to people of color. The notification detects potentially racist phrases such as "All Lives Matter" or "Blue Lives Matter," and prompts the author to consider editing."

This site has lost it's value and purpose with me. We got plugged in to it back when we had lost our dog, and thought that it was a very unique and helpful site to use. We have been users and contributors ever since (at least 3 years now). But lately was just on skimming through some topics and came across one, where an individual had mentioned his post was removed because it was a negative review of a business, and then noticed that there were practically NO negative reviews of ANY business on the site for users to go to.

Later, I saw an email with a response from the OP, indicating he had looked further into it to see if Nextdoor.com was a publicly traded company, but it was not, and then discovered that they had tried to go IPO before but had zero revenue to do so. Hence, now they are trying to create revenue using local businesses on the site, and well, you can't have users saying any negative things about businesses and expect businesses to jump up to join and add revenue at the same time. As always a site that once started to help neighbors connect and pass information along in the community, became a money grab with the founder/CEO searching for a way to make a quick buck.

Guess you can't blame them necessarily for wanting to monetize it, and cash in on a great idea and all the work that went into it, but the tactics used by the site now, and the modified terms of use for the site make it relatively useless if you are looking for an opinion from your actual neighbors. This is why I prefer Angie's List for something like that. Most things in life aren't free, and apparently that includes your neighbors opinions of a contractor's recent work they had done. Oh, and that post I had originally found... when I tried to click on a link in a later email to view/reply, the post had been removed, and so had the original poster himself! So too were others that had negative sentiments to share about the site 'monitors' censoring their posts. Shameful Nextdoor.com, shameful!

I was part of Nextdoor for maybe over 2 years and since then have noticed the amount of angst and harassment that it's neighbors have had on each other.

Nextdoor claims to promote a safe place for neighbors to discuss about current events, however it is nothing but a place for harassment and bullying that is done behind a computer.

I had stayed away from all of the discussions because people on here have become so hostile that the negativity far outweighs any benefit to actually stay on.

I have also seen neighbors who purposely instigated fights and then had their victim's accounts suspended. Nextdoor does not protect those being harassed, or the harasser because of their level of involvement and popularity on the app.

I was getting tired of all the hurtful and nasty discussions that were going on that I had to mute a lot of the discussions.

However, just recently, someone had complained that I wasn't using a supposed "real name" and so my account got suspended. I have seen so many users with aliases so it makes me wonder who the star "police" is on this.

But anyway... I am actually glad they suspended my account because I couldn't stand getting there unnecessary notices anyway. I advised them to delete my account altogether... be wary that with an app like this, there are always a few people on here with nothing better to do but to cause trouble where it is unnecessary.

Nextdoor doesn't even officially checked any legal documents when it comes to your real name anyway, which blows my mind why they would even believe that every so-called "real name" on their app is actually someone's real name.

What a JOKE!

Site contains too many complainers. It should be called NextDOG since it's like a show and tell for dogs.

I'm still on time out,after a year and a half.Lmao...This site is a JOKE!...I say BOYCOTT Nextdoor?.If i could leave a minus 5 Star"s,I would!

The Leads and Moderators hide comments they personally disagree with calleng them disrespectful. The most TOXIC social media platform in existence.

Yes like most of the Review are full of thugs and well asshats.
I Deactivated my account about 30 minutes ago.
Hear is the deal I have made it clear that I am dyslexic and suffer from asbergers so my spelling will be bad and so will my gramer. (now mind you in Utah they have the highest levels of autistic people in the US. (No I am not from this state but do live there now)

There leads tend to ridicule people with disabilitys wall sitting on there high on there lead throne.

What got me to disable my account not only was that treatment I got but the people who use it think they are better then the rest of us. I posted about a homeless shelter going in We are in the county seat and there is none in the county (For that mater there is no battered person (I cant stand it that there are so few for men too or funds to put them in a hotell room (there numbers are small but still)) and all the people did was $#*! about my spelling and the homless need to be sent some where other then hear (now we are talking about only 400 beds and it was for primly families.
So keep this in mind some areas might be good but most will not be and there is no way to deal with the locale leads if there is a problem with them.

I feel it is next-doors plan to jest make problems and power struggles.

IF you are thinking of it for knowing about crime there are web sites and apps that will do that and take no information from you (Well GPS and or IP to locat the area you are in)

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
