Nextdoor

I joined Nextdoor when Streetlife was bought by them in Feb 2017. I have just deactivated my account after repeated attempts via the support email to get them to remove my street name from my profile. Nextdoor simply have no respect for people's privacy wishes. For the short time I was on the site it was apparent that other people were equally horrified that they had no control over the information displayed about them. Many people changed to false names (on Streetlife the convention was first name and initial of surname) to avoid their full first name and surname being displayed. Simply not good enough. Avoid.

Person on Nextdoor admitted that people were printing conversations and watching all neighbors posts. A complaint was filed with ND they then made this this person a lead. This app only makes it easy for people, HOAs, and cops to stalk and track neighbors. If you have people in your neighborhood with alterior motives this app is not for you. I came away completely disgusted. Other than that it's your neighbors selling their junk and complaining about drivers and dog poop. Worthless

Overall ND has provided useful, valid, and stellar information; it can also be crazy humorous. I have acquired unexpected treasures from neighbors, and exceptional, useful apps. And links. I have highly recommended countless people to ND. That is why I am also disappointed in the petty, vulgarness of some of the threads. (I hate to recommend tasteless trash to my friends and family.) Some of the negative interactions from neighbors can be down right shocking and nasty! Big time cussing, name calling, shaming and discriminatory targeting should be immediate account revocable offenses; even if under the mask of an auspicious cartoon or joke.

I was the victim of bullying and cyberstalking on Nextdoor. I decided to use only my initials instead of my full name to protect myself. Nextdoor never warned me, they just told me I had been reported (didn't say by who) for using my initials instead of my name. When I tried to tell them why, they ignored me. IMO Nextdoor is a dangerous site, filled with hateful mob mentality bullies.

It's mob rule on nextdoor.com. It's easy for several people to gang up and get folks they don't like banned. The nextdoor administrators aren't bright enough, or don't care enough, to prevent this from happening. So people tend to go on site for a little bit and then quit.

This app needs to be completely removed and banned. They not only allow individual harassment they allow theyre higher ups to do the same if not worse. These people are just a bunch of lonely cowards who hide behind a screen to feel some kind of validation. This app doesnt promote any sense of community in any way shape or form. People think they can overrun others and their opinions and posts. I'm sick of all the Karen's that have flocked to this app.

Wth is descriminatory content? Apparently saying anything is now a descriminatory content if you don't lick Bidens derrier and worship Marxist burn loot and murder brigade they practically want to stalk you and kill you! You must bow to all the bull coming out of the deranged leftists orifices daily or else they go after your employer! Just look at the ignorant trash threatening people!

The site will provide as much or as little information as you want. You can screen people who seem to abuse the system and get on either a political agenda or a rage of some kind. If you want to know something in the area of specialties, you can ask, and you can get recommendations, which seem to be very helpful. This site is for knowledge and information about our area and not for placing opinions, so if you set your parameters correctly the site can work for you.

Recently discovered that one of the Leads for our neighborhood was a convicted felon and career thief! This guy has felony convictions as well as a 20+ year history of theft, fraud, identity theft, arson, criminal trespass, and more. As if that isn't bad enough... he advertises his computer "cleaning" company on our ND. This guy is the LAST person that needs to be a Lead on ND, but it is also terrifying that, with his history, he is using ND as a means of getting "work" and accessing peoples computers!

We have made NextDoor Admin Shane Knoll aware of this and he insists that there is nothing wrong with this... WTH!?

Stay away from ND... stay FAR AWAY!

This website may have good intentions, but good intentions aren't enough. This sight is just a way to bully. If you have minor children and aren't fond of or agree with everyone in your neighborhood then stay away. If you do feel you are being bullied and get an invite; if you or your children's safety may be a concern; contact your children's school. They most likely have crisis intervention specialist who can connect with the police who have access to this website without giving up their real, full name and address and they can help protect you and your family. The support from the website in non existent so this is the safest route.

It's a total joke. So many people there use only their first name and last initial. I got my account suspended after only my second post to the site and I had been on it inactively for YEARS. Apparently I annoyed someone. I wish to keep the peace in my neighborhood and would hate to be doxxed or harassed should some busy body find my other social media accounts and disagree with me politically or otherwise. I LIVE here and I want it to remain peaceful for my family and everyone in the community. It's outrageous that I was singled out by someone who felt annoyed by a post and then banned for not having my entire last name on the site. I set my account up that way for a reason.
