I've been reported consistently by the same Lead (who is also posting and bragging about all of the guns he owns on his own posts). I haventhe total support of my community when occasionally posting about found animals, pets in local shelters, anything helping our community animals and they are constantly reported by one particular Lead who appears to have control even over Nextdoor Support. Yet they allow the same people to post over and over again about useless things and are allowed to stay on and post. It's not run by biased people but control freaks! Horrible site!
Next door has become a pain as they insist on real names when half the people on thier site dont use real names... i have had problems with them twice and have decided to give up on them since its a waste of time, they are biased and racist.
I had my total access revoked without notice. I believe it was because I criticized their so called guidelines. My initial comment was writing about someone who was advocating for higher school property taxes. I stated that they were not property taxpayers since they lived in a low income subsidized rental complex. That post was removed by the lead, who just happened to be the renter! I then questioned the guidelines, and that is when I was totally cut off. That lead bragged that she had me kicked off Nextdoor.
Worthless! I have lived in my hometown my whole life and was invited, by US mail, to join nextdoor. I did, only to be insulted and censored by whatever morons run this $#*! show. They won't let me post anything in my own community, yet they keep emailing me.
Useless site
Useless, politically biased site that claims to not allow politics but openly supports socialist concepts and limits a range of opinions.
Mostly filled with cat sightings and neighbors looking to sell unwanted belongings.
A total waste of time.
They can basically constantly get you suspended from the site and you are never allowed to say anything to defend yourself or discuss any problems with them on the website. They claim in their rules that you can set up a Nextdoor policies group to discuss problems with a lead, but when I did so, I was suspended for critisizing a lead, even without naming them directly. Just saying "a lead." This is the most punitive and destructive website to its users. They treat you as if you should be grateful to be on there and as if the leads, the supervisors, are like managers at a job where you're being paid. Who wants to put up with punishment like that for no pay? RIdiculous! The relevant question is, who needs this stupid site? It's not even worth the aggravation of being suspended for displeasing some little twerp who sits at their computer and puts on airs because they got appointed as a lead.
I've relied on next door for a lot of our home needs be it selling garden items on marketplace, getting recommendations for home services like window washing to a lost pet. Hands down it has helped make our lives easier!
I do like to read the posts on here. It sorta keeps me up to date on what's going on in the area, garage sales, items for sale and news events. My child is grown and out on his own in a different town now, so I wouldn't know about as many things now if it were not for Nextdoor.
With that said, I do wish when people post garage sales and such that when they are over, they would take their posts down.
These people just want to control the conversations in the neighborhoods by way of censorship! I tried posting neighborhood concerns and they just keep hiding my posts and classify it with names that don't even fit the point of the article. They are worse, much worse than Facebook censorship!
This site is the worst. It could be a good thing. It could be a neighborhood thing. However they have decided to only allow mass national marketing and nothing locally present in the neighborhood. Even when you post a local event that a Non-Profit is having for local business people they shut you down quickly. They block you, your business page and do not give you any recourse. Any neighborhood content for local businesses is immediately slashed unless they are connected to the moderators. It is a biased based media network with no real guidance on policy.
Promotes hate and the site needs to be banned from the internet!. I was removed because, hideous women were stalking me and made threats that they would have me removed! I did nothing wrong and NOW Nextdoor is promoting hate/slander!
I enjoy Next Door because it enables me to connect with my community. I also enjoy the ability to post items for sale, and to see what others are selling or needing that I might have to donate. And I like reading others' thoughts on topics of neighborhood interest.
I'm very pleased with the results of my carpet cleaning. The tech David, did a great job. He was professional and friendly and worked hard and quickly. Highly recommend Air Force One Carpet Cleaning. I will be a repeat customer.
It seems that there is a group that uses Calistoga Next door as their organizing tool against the city government. They are extremely negative and seem to find safety in numbers since there are only a few who will post an opposing view. Also, one of their leaders has also has some supervisory role in monitoring Calistoga Next door. I know that many who originally recommended Nextdoor are not using it because of this situation.
Why are they censoring and removing posts. Who are the "leads" to decide for all of us what information we receive.
I try to alert neighbors to violent criminal activity on which the perpetrator was arrested. Our neighbors need this information for their safety, yet it was removed. Many neighbors say the post before they removed it and we're very upset. The leads don't care about our right to this information.
I hired a contractor to do concrete work on my driveway, by the name of MIke Thiel. You cannot trust anybody on that app. He did lousy work and wants to charge me again for re-cementing the small square he over charged me for.
I cannot take legal action because he is not listed anywhere and used a burner phone.
He wanted cash only and would not accept a check unless my husband went with him to the bank to cash it.
I would not recommend using the app for contractors, handymen, or anything else that requires payment.
I've found it enjoyable and useful to be able to keep up with what's going on with neighbors and the broader community at large, and to be able to ask for advice or recommendations. It has a built-in marketplace, so people also use it to buy and sell. The municipality also posts updates and goings-on, though I think they could be better at that (all towns are different I suppose). Overall, I think it's a good community-building tool and a great way to know about what's going on locally. Everyone should be on it.
I used Nextdoor for about a year or so. The pictures of people's pets were cute, but the site was woeful in terms of its terms of service and moderation. Any local issue of some political import was hijacked by activitists who reported people to Nextdoor they disagreed with. These people would then be suspended from the site without any recourse! I finally decided to get my local news elsewhere.
The previous reviewer claiming the site is "an arm of the left" is full of crap. He lives in a democratic area that will sound off on the issues whether or not you are red or blooded. There is no facts to back up the erroneous claims that the site has an agenda.

Joined up with my junkmail address. Nextdoor hijacked the account & changed its password. Fortunately I'm cleverer than them and got it back in minutes. Have now created a new junkmail password. The cheek of it is that it wants unencumbered access to your email account. NO WAY, I don't mind joining these sorts of groups especially if I have to prove who I am but Nextdoor is asking for to much.
My advice for anyone is to have a junkmail account with no address book associated. I've found it very handy in more ways than this.
Answer: The negative reviews are honest reactions to being duped into sharing too much personal information (that Nextdoor now owns and will NEVER delete and will continue to sell to advertisers until your dying day) to join a site that seems friendly on the surface, but which does NOTHING to protect users. I was bullied by a convicted murderer, who is a Lead in my neighborhood--and I was banned from the site for complaining. Leads are nothing more than early adopters of the site who have been assigned power over other users so that Nextdoor does not have to police it's own site. In short: No. The negative reviews are not wrong. Heed them! I wish I had known before it was too late!
Answer: Forget about nextdoor and leads. Get a life, a real one. Don't waste your time with toxic online communities that tend to get the worst out of people. My advise is run away while you still have some dignity left.
Answer: Kay is right. That is their policy. However, don't expect them to hold to it. We have leads unfairly removing only some people's comments and Nextdoor does nothing about it. Best bet, dump nextdoor.
Answer: Neighborhood. Rocks is in development. Another 6 months.
Answer: Truth is like oil and water. As long as the scam artist have enough venture capital (other people's money) they will continue to shake the bottle leaving it a murky view obscuring the truth. Run out of cash, they'll be exposed for the incompetent boobs they are and the top dogs will clear out their bank accounts and move on to the next scam. One look at their "leading edge tech" pulled right out of the 1980's is proof enough they will die in the tar pits just like the fellow dinosaurs. Want a state of the art app?

Answer: Dallas, SiteJabber rates it at 16%. It would surely rate lower if there weren't so many fake positive reviews. Folks review Nextdoor either 1 or 5. The fives read like ads about Nextdoor's features and potential. The ones are written by real people and give accounts of how awful their experiences were.
Answer: Several other reviewers on this site have had the same thing happen to them. We have been fully banned from nextdoor (beyond just "suspension"), but they keep our profiles, and sometimes our names still appear in the neighbor registry. They refuse to remove us fully, I suppose, in an attempt to misrepresent our endorsement and participation there. It's clearly unethical, but their TOS states that they can do this, as any nd apologist will point out.
Answer: Here's a tidy answer from corporate... Hi Colleen, Thanks for getting back to me. Our Community Guidelines prohibit posting about Lead activity on the main newsfeed. If your Leads are inactivate and youre concerned about moderation in your neighborhood, you should reach out directly to Nextdoor Support. If you have any specific concerns I can help you with at this time, please let me know. Best, Amanda Nextdoor However, the minute you alert corporate to issues with leads in your community you'll find your account terminated. They are very protective of the information surrounding who really is controlling the activities on the boards. Most people in my community are under the misguided impression that corporate is in control. They don't even consider it is their neighbor who sits in judgement.
Answer: Nextdoor wants your full legal name, house number and address and your email address that they link all together. As an added bonus... They have a little map that you can click on. That way if, OMG, you offend someone the little map leads them straight to your house. Run, do not walk, away from this site. No good comes from Nextdoor.
Answer: Your name and address will be known to everyone who uses the NextDoor application and website. I don't suggest using it. I recently discovered that low income apartments in ghetto areas might be able to use the application to do crime. Car theft, asaaults, kidnapping and just about everything else under the sun.
