Nextdoor

We tried to warn others about produce issues at our local supermarket. Some of the users on the app started attacking my wife for it. When we defended ourselves, they removed the post and we were reported for violating their standards. Yet, they did nothing and idly sat by while others chastised my wife. User beware, or better, user do not bother! Further they will try and gain access to your contacts and harass all of your friends and family to download their app. And finally there is very little effort on their behalf to prevent fraud, scams, or data protection.

Nextdoor is a great concept. It unifies neighboring communities. I have gotten great references (some not so great) on many workmen, etc. It's good to know what's going on in the neighborhood, sometimes on an hourly basis, when you're at work. Alerts us to suspicious persons in the neighborhood.
Sometimes some people get into little spats and can get rather nasty. I wish there was a way to curb that behavior. Also, I'm not crazy about the new format. I liked the old one better. It was easier to skim through.

I like keeping up with community events through Nextdoor. I aapreciate when folks review a new business or restaurant in the neighborhood. I also find it helpful when people post burglaries and pictures of suspicious people on their property or describe vehicles repeatedly driving by. Addresses are never posted which is good for security but people will say what neighborhood they're in and sometimes the street they're on.
When airplanes were flying over a lot during the summer, I was glad to know other people were bothered by it, too and it was helpful when someone posted information about why that was happening.

I really like next Door app. It's a great way to meet neighbors and get referrals for service people, contractors, plumbers, vets,
Book clubs, walking groups, You need to be careful because they allow anyone to join with lots of made up names and people looking for business. We have a mall near by and every employee at the mall can join as if they live in the neighborhood...
I wish they had a way to verify your residence in a community! Still love the platform...

I learned that all of my neighbors are racists, afraid of anybody that walks, rides a bike or skate boards through the neighborhood and have nothing better to do than peak out their windows or watch their security monitors. Neighbor have commented "Profiling works". I have reported people that profile only for it to fall on deaf ears. If you want to know which of your neighbors is ripe for klan recruitment, this app is a wealth of knowledge.

I've been harassed by leads. I offer Tupperware community services like free fundraising and warranty replacement. I understand about not promoting your business. The last straw, I simply posted items for sale and realized I was blocked after a crime watch alert was denied. Door to door carpet cleaners caught on video pushing for a sale and "no soliciting" sign on door! Checked my email for notice from nextdoor, but there was none. Poor leads in my area! *******

They never tell you what posting or statement you made that violates their so-called Community Guidelines. As a result, we are never given a proper opportunity to actually appeal their decision when they deny you access to your account either on a temporary basis or decide to shut your account down permanently. This site also allows bullying and hateful comments made to other neighbors, when the site even states that don't allow bullying, which is constantly happening to people that neighbors have never even met in person! Nextdoor also doesn't provide any phone support or an E-mail at anytime, so that you can talk to a live person.

Worse I have ever experienced.
I tried to advertise my business with next door,
They have charge me $142, a month for the past 5 or 6 months and I haven't seen an ad on their site yet. More significantly there there seems to be no way of contacting them, no phone number and they won't call you. See the rating they have. They will only try to take your money.

I have been using this site for about 2 years. The leads are lazy and do not keep up with the guidelines. Therefore, there is a lot that people just put up, which is very against the guidelines. The actual area perimeters were stretched too far south so that the founder, who set up the perimeters, could include his pals. Ridiculous. On and you can only be a "lead" if your child attended the elite private school in the area or if you are related to the founder. Such bulls%t!

This is absolutely the worst website, run by the worst people. A Nextdoor employee in my neighborhood repeatedly harassed neighbors, including a sweet elder lady who posted about her missing dog. This company clearly is funded by someone with an ulterior motive, to influence elections and whatnot, because the leads carefully filter any posts that have to do with local issues to only allow one type of voice on the site. I strongly urge NO ONE to be a part of this website or company in any way.

Nextdoor only allows open and free communication as long as you are only posting about kittens and puppies and rainbows. If you delve into difficult community issues such as a corrupt police department (like in Franklin Park Borough, PA), your posts will be taken down and you will be banned from the service. It only takes one complaint and your post will be removed. Even if the other neighbors appreciate the information and give positive reviews. Nextdoor is a typical weak social media site. They prefer to remove and harm the poster of the information, rather than the complainer. Welcome to social media censorship. It's not very social.
