Nextdoor Leads
March 21, 2022

Nextdoor uses volunteer "Leads" to moderate content on Nextdoor. These Leads could be pedophiles, rapist or extremist with an agenda. Nextdoor provides NO vetting or training of Leads!
What a pathetic business plan. Use unqualified, unpaid volunteers! And ND still can't make a profit.

I love Nextdoor for its ability to provide a simple, easy-to-use social platform that connects you with your neighbors and other communities around you. I live in a big city now and I find that it is harder to get that community feel in which neighbors communicate and help each other out. The Nextdoor platform makes it easy to build a community around you, and I have seen so many great things come out of it e.g. finding lost pets, returning lost keys and belongings, and warning others of crime activity. Thank you Nextdoor!

Nextdoor platform in Texas is strictly a race base, non thinking, non progressive brunch that says anyone that thinks outside the box should be band. This platform is supposed be what neighbors talk about, that is as long as it's what they want to hear. You can not have an intelligent conversation with this bunch, because they troll you gang up on you with their minions and then send a complaint in on you. I think I'm through this racist bunch. Sad no 1st amendment here, strictly 2nd amendment or you're out.

If you stick to things that no one on the left disagrees with you'll be fine. Your leads are in control of posts being removed. So if they don't like something you get thrown in ND jail. I posted actual info from frontline workers, but it doesn't align with the garbage MSM is spewing.The really sad part is they don't tell you what the exact post was, so you have no idea what someone didn't like. So restricted for 30 days, and the leads think they are something special! We have gotten to a point if your views don't align with someone else's, instead of continuing to scroll they choose to cry & snitch……bc they don't want anyone having a different view!

Terrible app.
July 18, 2023

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.

Great resource for neighbors
April 20, 2019

The site guides new neighbors as well as supporting current neighbors on anything from advise or recommendations in practically every topic. It also serves as a heads up on social events and strangers in a neighborhood to be aware of. Lost you pet or looking for a new one? This is where neighbors support neighbors!

I have always had a rather good experience using Nextdoor and learning
New things. If I have a problem or don't know what procedure should be applied, I ask and I get a very nice rep helping me to handle problems a certain way. I always get the right answer which makes every one happy.

Nextdoor neighbors
May 30, 2019

For the most part, quality information passed along. Every so often, a great debate starts and never ends... the beauty of forums and threads, you can easily just shut it down. But with quality and pertinent information on respective neighborhoods, I think Nextdoor is a much needed site and should be in each and every neighborhood, no matter how small. Thank you!

ND has morphed into a site that only serves to divide and alienate the neighbors it professes to serve. Currently, our site is being torn apart by two 'leads' who have taken censorship to a new level. Posts are being deleted without cause or explanation. Members are being 'suspended' or removed altogether. And this is being done with the full support of the ND 'headquarters'.

I wonder if the venture capitalists who are presently funding the site are aware that half the residents are turning their backs on the site? Movements are afoot to boycott any and all sponsors once they begin placing ads on the site.

Great neighborhood resource
June 27, 2019

Keeps me informed about all the goings on in our neighborhood and nearby surroundings. Helps keep me aware of crime activity and in the know about available resources, services and businesses that neighbors have used and recommend. Great for networking about local activities, rummage sales, items for sale, events, and city hall politics, resources, etc.

This is a potentially unsafe app because there are a number of trolls and bullies who enjoy harassing, discrediting and bullying their neighbors on the basis they don't share the same opinions. The leads allow these trolls and perhaps the leads and their friends ARE the bullies and trolls. I was permanently banned for sharing my new air cleaners which according to the manufacturer killed 99.9 % of viruses including COVID. I was permanently banned for spreading misinformation although I think it had more to do with reporting the violators who never get banned.
The leads have no oversight which explains why everyone is not treated equally. Higher level Next Door personnel don't seem to care
It's a shame because there is potential. Our HOA won't use this app and now I know why.

I agree with some reviewers that having a judicious and competent neighborhood lead seems to be key to the success of this site. The leads in our area seem to be doing an effective job of moderating content. There will always be some people with pet causes that they want to promote; maintaining a civil tone in items posted is the key.

Happy with Nextdoor
May 30, 2019

I love the Nextdoor app for various reasons. It would be nice if people would learn how to use it a little better. Remove items that are sold, one posting for multiple items and be kind to one another. It is a great tool to keep in touch and get advice as well as being able to get rid of some stuff!

Hello. Placing a review here so perhaps I could get a response from a person who works at NextDoor. I have 2 homes and tried to set up 2 Nextdoors. The app really makes it difficult to set up more than 1 home location therefore I used my first name twice. Evidently this program verifies your legal name against your address and because they do not like my name I am removed from using the application. Is this discrimination? Next door please clean this up!

Toxic
September 22, 2022

It's a site overrun with bullies and trolls separating neighbors by ideology and political factions. Neighbors trade insults under the guise of debate. Site monitors punish and censor the ones being bullied, not the bullies themselves. The lowest common denominator run the show because there are more of them, and/or their left wing politics align with those of the site "leads." Also, there is NO blocking so you can't get away from your tormenters. No stars would be more accurate.

OUTSTANDING

Bringing people together, watching after our children especially our four legged ones. Bringing a level of trust that makes the old neighborhood watch a thing of the past. So much more I would be here all night.

Origin of site is San Francisco All democrats & liberals say what ever they want opposing their narrative of lies and misinformation gets you kicked off. They are trolling for weak minded easy marks to turn with absolutely ridicules lies and misinformation. It's a total sham. Don't waste your time it's a joke full of anti American biden lovers. Your full name is required unless you're a democrat or liberal. Lars P is proof of that. Him and several other democrats/liberals don't have to have full name?! Liberals and democrats will love their like minded criteria. If you are a trump supporter they delete you immediately!

I think the app is great but their policy sucks. The site has a personal and a business side. The personal side does not allow you to talk about their business. They monitor you. You have to use the business side and pay for any messaging about your company. Their business advertising is very limited for the money you pay.

I was sharing work that I am doing in my house and getting opinions from my neighbors and Nextdoor blocked my account for three days as a punishment for violating their advertising policy.

Maybe someone will create another competing app and allow neighbors to collaborate without limitations or censorship

Expect to be censored, then banned, then removed if you take the unpopular side on any hot discussion. Or in my case, even ask questions that expose the flaws of the popular side. Is this even America?

Door not always open.
January 10, 2022

Was targeted by a group of women who seemed to have an influence on the app.
Was made to feel threatened and to be honest at the time almost suicidal.
When I asked one of the bullies to stop, the response was I was suspended by next door.
No chance to ask why, or why were they taking sides.
To be honest had been warned but maybe naively thought next door would be a fair platform.
