Nextdoor

Next door is a great way to get to know your neighbors... especially if you are new to the area. Questions are answered in a timely manner and contain information that can be further checked. Neighbors are often encouraging one another or giving sound suggestions on how to handle an "iffy" matter in the neighborhood. Getting personal takes and references for doctors, dentists, restaurants... you name it... are invaluable! Thanks neighbors!

I have given this sorry excuse of a social app a try, to get my small business out there. It was a challenge promoting anything because of their overly strict policies about promoting. You're only allotted 2 posts per month followed by any "ads" you want to create for a ridiculous hefty fee. The chances of getting those ads or promo posts seen, is the same as somebody in Hell asking for ice water. Your posts gets over taken by obnoxious neighbors posting about useless crap and complaints, which I find easy to get over. On my business account I created a weekly ad and paid the atrocious fee. A couple of days later, I posted a pic on my personal account that was irrelevant to my business. However, Nextdoor took this pic post as soliciting and breaking their guidelines. Without any warning, Thet disabled my account and took the money. My weekly ad never ran it's course.

Excellent work! Carlos pressure washed my house and I have had some people in passing (Mount Dora Historic District everyone walks :) ask if I had my house painted. Constant communication on your appointment, prompt and his prices are very reasonable. I recommend him highly! Very satisfied!
This is just one of his many services, Check out his website :)

I submitted a post (that received 46 likes) with zero identifying information commenting on inappropriate behavior in my neighborhood. I was suspended. Others, however, have posted identifying information, including photos of cars with license plates clearly showing and those posts remain in place even when requests are submitted to have them removed (for the safety of the person identified in the post). When I disputed the decision... I just received platitudes... not sure they even bother to read the threads... or else their reading comprehension is very poor.

We were literally harassed by these people until one day we finally decided to see how it worked we were told that it would cost $93 per month for one FULL month! In less than a week our ad was suspended for non payment! What the heck! So when we called we were told a completely different story! Was not worth it anyways 1 customer came out of it and we are a restaurant that literally stay busy NEVER again! Once they get your money it's a wrap!

I was hoping this would be a useful tool to learn thing that are going on in my community. What I learned is Nextdoor, even after many complaints, allows their Leads to constantly bully and harass and publicly shame individuals with handicaps. Save yourself the frustration of even trying to report things that go against their community guidelines (what a joke), and stay away from the app altogether

I responded in a thread to a poster who was personally attacking another member and then pretended the other member threatened her and asked others to find him and "take care of the problem". My response said "If you have a problem with someone hash it out with them. Don't cry victim and "we need to ban this guy cause he thinks differently than me, and that's triggering". It makes you look weak and immature."

Somehow I was issued a 30 day suspension for this response, yet the far left poster personally attacking and inciting violence gets a warning. There was no process for appeal, and support acted high and mighty and responded to me like a child who ate a cookie without asking.

Well, we have a couple of awesome writers on our Nextdoor and I love reading their stories. They are real life happenings that are made so interesting that you want more.

At first it was all about lost dogs or stray dogs. That was not appealing to me, people keep your dogs up. We also have somebody that asks once a week for trash pickup recommendations & everybody and their stray dogs feel the need to tell about their's service provider. I tell them to check last weeks conversations.

However, there are a lot of good recommendations that we don't know about that is quite helpful!

All in all, it is an awesome site and you find out who you would enjoy knowing better and the whiners!

Nextdoor decided to deactivate my account. Now they are asking me to come back. This must be there way of acknowledging they were wrong. Too bad, I am not returning. Your quick and inaccurate decision hurts your bottom dollar. Not mine. I can help my neighborhood without you.

My account was suspended because the volume of my moving sale/estate sale, was flagged and some old ladies accused me of running a flea market from my studio! Basically banned for having lots of stuffs! This site is good to locate a dog $#*!, some homeless, lost tampax. Gossiping, trash on fire, OMG every body there is an helicopter above my neighborhood... it's run like a russian gov site... based on nothing your suspended and don't you dare voicing what you think of the members and how the site is run... sad little site!

Specious website due to the lack of people skills and communication skills by wanna-be moderators. They are immature; young and clearly, inexperienced in dealing with conflict nor do they exercise ANY circumspection in their own dealings. The worst part? Their failure to spot a problem immediately instead of sitting back and letting it escalate to danger and threats, which is what the did with me. I had to file a police report against a clearly disturbed neighbor in San Ramon. Worse site ever!

I regret ever submitting my information to join Nextdoor. Not only do they actively monitor and control comments on their site, but they also strictly utilize their so-called "community standards" to enforce their liberal point of view. Step out of line with their ideology (much if it left to the discretion of some loony snowflake) and BOOM, your account is suspended for however long they choose. They are as bad as twitter only worse since with Nextdoor, you also find out just how ignorant and foolish some of your neighbors are.
