Nextdoor hast been taken over by Marxist mobs. They promote extremely authoritarian groupthink and conduct search and destroy missions against anyone who dares to disagree with their agenda. Stay away if you have any self-respect.
Do yourself a favor and don't even think about advertising with this company. They increased one of my zipcodes advertising rate from $30 to $336 per month without my approval. Plus, the open house posts NEVER worked.
Seems that some elitist members of the group shoot down anyone they dont personally like. So its not a good service to use. Id rather use something that doesnt expose my address either. Screw you elitists!
In theory, this should be a great app/website. In reality it's a place for everyone to complain about this or that. And somehow after signing up I immediately started getting spam/phishing emails. Literally within minutes. Not sure if that's just a coincidence. Also the site is VERY BUGGY.
It is very sad when someone reports somebody who posted something hateful to the point of wishing them dead, but the one who reported it gets punished. This site has become cliquish and intolerant, seemingly ousting people whose opinions do not align with their preconceived notions. The moderators are self-absorbed and/or not approachable. They had a real chance of helping communication between members, instead, they are nothing more than a self-serving liberal cesspool, supporting bullies.
I am happy with the information given by neighbors regarding our neighborhood. I'm kept up to date regarding lost pets, wild animal sitings (bears, deer) and road conditions. This was very useful after our recent blizzard. Plus if there are any suspicious people wandering the streets.
I've had multiple threads deleted. I was not warned, notified, or given a reason afterward. When i contacted 3 neighborhood leads they either ignored me, passed the buck, or gave evasive non-answers. Very passive-aggressive.
ND has a "misinformation policy" re" COV19, which basically translates to... uphold status quo as dictated by mainstream govt and news, or we will censor you. Absolutely disgusting.
And the posts in my neighborhood feed... OMG, it is the most banal and pointless crap all day long. When I try to inject anything different or challenge the prevailing COV19 social programming, many members start shrieking hysterically, throw insults, report my posts, etc. Lot of people who are emotionally fragile and easily triggered and want discussions sanitized for their benefit.
Nextdoor has no customer support. They remove posts that follow guidelines simply because someone else doesn't like it never listening or viewing both sides. It's suppose to be a place to share information but its more bullying and gossipers than anything else. Will not return - save your time.
This is an opportunity to communicate with neighbors on a wide range of subjects- trade recommendations for local handyman or housecleaning, exchange puzzles, find out about strange noises or lost pets. Very useful.
I have a background in marketing, web analytics, and technology and so on. My community recently moved to Nextdoor. It is perfect for nosy, stuck up, social media craving, power hungry busy bodies. There are constant SPAM like postings from other adjoining communities. Poor organization for community documents. Perfect medium for people who don't have any sense of how to use social media. The leads are the worst. When they made the switch the board said, "It manages itself!" And, "It's FREE!" Read the fine print nothing is free! Nextdoor is collecting a copious amount of information from member's browsers. Your demographics, shopping history, websites visited,… They are building a marketing machine.
Before you login clear your cache or open an anonymous browser session. Don't link your Facebook account to it. Only provide the bare minimum info to actually have an account.
My community's site just had its first libelous post and I am sure there will be more to come…Yeah!
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.
