I appreciate the site - a place where you can find out what is going on in the neighborhood. From missing a pet, stuff for sale, and reporting crimes. Also, I get to know who lives in my neighborhood.
Nextdoor has been a great tool for letting me know what is going on in the neighborhood. I have received help when I asked and found great helpers by answering "ads". I have recommended Nextdoor to several friends.
This app sucks and is so annoying. You don't need it. You gets tons of messages and emails. Most of which are not even in your neighborhood. The leads are self righteous pricks. Who needs more bull$&@ and bothersome emails in their lives? Plus there are privacy issues in my opinion.
Next-door exposes you to the dregs of society, while giving your information to any scam-artist who appears legitimate. Their "policing" of community content allows fraudulent representation of businesses and individuals, while censoring accurate information that offends quasi-criminal enterprises. This isn't an accurate source of information, it's a rip-off waiting to happen.
This can be an interesting and informative app. Neighbors can often tell us about things happening in the neighborhood and city. From time to n time there are disturbing arguments but they can usually be skipped or avoided.
I love Nextdoor. It helps u keep informed about what's going on in the neighborhood, recommendations for services of all kinds, questions you have about the area. Good for selling things and asking questions
We live in a gated community surrounded by and included in a nextdoor neighborhood. Wanted them to exclude us from the neighborhood since we have no contact with those residents, so we could make our own neighborhood. They would not do that. They were unhelpful.
Nothing going on here! Nobody seems prepared to have much of a discussion which I believe is down to the issue of privacy and people are very wary of what they say. The "Lead" situation is ridiculous as they can delete conversations if it doesn't suit. The customer service attitude is take it or leave it and here are the instructions how to delete your account. BIG mistake!
I have just been blocked by nextdoor after having been signed up from the time they began in 2011. They have decided that they require my full name instead of the initials i use in spite of their own policy:
"Notable exceptions:
We recognize that some people are primarily known by something other than their given first name:
It would be acceptable for the catcher of the San Francisco Giants to use the name "Buster Posey" rather than Gerald Posey, the name on his birth certificate.
It would be acceptable for the football player "J. J. Watt" to use his initials as his first name, since that is how he introduces himself."
I was trying to do an ad on Nextdoor and there is no way to speak with a person and they make it very difficult to contact them, and then it is only by email. When the representative got back to me she confirmed that some of the videos and articles in their "Help" section are out of date. So, the only direct help they offer is via their help articles and videos and these no longer apply. Very frustrating.
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.
