Nextdoor

I thought about signing up for this service. But I refused, even after getting an invitation. The question becomes, "what's in it for THEM?!" They do a great job of telling you basically that ALL YOUR INFORMATION is theirs to do what they want. Well, what the hell is the incentive for me? Sounds like big brother rather than a neighborhood group. AND they want to target me for advertising. I have two words for this company and the first begins with an F. Leave me alone NextDoor.com!

My experience with Nextdoor has been with the LW Nextdoor site, for the over 55 community of Leisure World of Maryland. Originally intended as a discussion forum for the residents, its Lead has become a chief censor, blocking posts with which he does not agree and removing members whose posts he doesn't care for. He would not be able to do this without the cooperation of the Nextdoor Help staff, which apparently exercises no independent judgement, responding to this Lead's complaint with out any degree of due process. Of course, the main intent of ND is not community interaction, but making money thru ad posting. Why would they spend money on hiring enough competent, intelligent staff to make this a real community discussion site, when they can hire a few mindless incompetents that simply block posts or remove members as requested by Leads?

A Mommie, who encountered someone with schizophrenia was freaking out and threatening to call the police.The gentrification in my neighborhood is rampant. It is a city neighborhood but it seems there is little tolerance for diversity. I was kicked off for posting about a community that tolerates people, who are different. Kicked off by Nextdoor, based in what was once the most tolerant city in the US. Go figure. I won't be back. I am even tolerant of the people moving in; just wish they would try and fit into the community.

I've been suspended on Nextdoor for 'shaming'. I shared my personal encounter with a reckless driver along with the license plate and type of car... and warned people to be ware. Following notification of my suspension, I then returned to the site (via my husband's account) to review the previous relevant postings I had seen. All of the postings concerning this driver have been deleted. I wonder if those contributors were also suspended. Hummmm. Come to your own conclusions!

1 star rating is too good, There should be a 1/4 star selection!
Many of the reviews for Nextdoor are negative and there is a reason.
Because if you have a problem, you will spend hours, yes multiple sessions with emails back and forth along with being linked to a BOT where you think you have someone that can help you but keeps asking you questions that don't make sense until you are finally told they will transfer you to the Gethuman web site that wants you to pay $1 (not much bur really!) to get a live person to chat with. This takes a while but by the time you get to this point, your are so annoyed and have spent so much time that you realize that it's just not worth spending any more time and finally decide that the warning signs were right in front of you with all the negative ratings but you can pruge this from your life and hope you can help someone else from this colossal waste of time!.
Nextdoor should be renamed as "Trapdoor"

I was scammed and put up a warning about the scam so no one else got caught up in it. Nextdoor suspended my account because they said I might make the scammers uncomfortable and not feel welcome. Nextdoor would rather look after scammers then keep the public safe.

Most experiences have been good, but... On a couple of occasions I've been banned for inappropriate comments. Granted I may not be the best judge of my own comments but I do my best to make sure my posts are either helpful to all or in defense of someone who's being attacked by another. Even the defenses are more along the line of maybe the poster ought to rethink. Personal opinion is someone needs to read the thread before deciding a post is 'hurtful, not helpful.' By the way, the "I'm Not a Robot" thingy needs clearer photos unless the goal is to handicap us older folks.

I'm still not over the shock of the death of my brother due to the bullies on Nextdoor as well as the so-called support staff which allowed such actions to continue on the website. Along the false assumption that two or more brothers could never have the same initials (which he was bullied to no end over) as well as what I have mentioned about earlier of his learning disabilities to which he was bullied over to the several so called (lack of) support people with no last names (I can see why now) he never stood a chance of not having the ability to keep from killing himself. If they want proof, go to Fort Logan National Cemetery.
