Nextdoor

My account was disabled. I have no idea why. I didn't post anything controversial, political, racist, or anything that would offend anyone. Good riddance! Only 2 actually neighbors are on it. A whole lot of advertising!

While Nextdoor is a useful platform in theory, its system for reporting allegedly "inappropriate" comments is laughably biased toward the far left. Anything other than wholehearted support for the BLM "movement" gets you kicked off the site, while viciously anti-police and anti-white commentary is left untouched. Entirely factual posts regarding national and local crime statistics are also pushed down the memory hole when they conflict with the desired narrative of saintly minority victims and brutal, oppressive law enforcement.

I was a member of the review team and still got suspended for confronting someone politely about their racist comments. Way too many sensitive little snowflakes lurking about on this site. There are times it can be helpful but for the most part it's a lot of whiners and complainers with nothing worthwhile to contribute. The guidelines are also a joke as they try to control speech rather than allow for free and open debate. Restrictions on national topics are restricted to "groups" that members can start but the exposure is limited and a LOT of people complain if there are political topics even when the topic is local.
Another suggestion is if you need something done i.e. Yard work, house repairs etc. you'd be better off looking for a contractor yourself as too many recommendations are presented if you ask for any. Plus, you can't tell if the contractor will be as receptive as the person who recommended them said they are. Every experience is different.
Nextdoor? Don't waste your time.

You can post something that in no way violates Nextdoor rules and get blocked. I posted factual public information after another user accused me of unethical conduct at my job and I got blocked for merely replying with facts to clear up the issue. I think all the complaints must be sent to somebody's three year old child. And there's no oversight of the Leads, so don't expect any help from them. We should all find a better app for sharing with our neighbors.

I used a pen name because this site is really nothing more than neighbors complaining about each other.

Account disabled for not using "real name"

Sorry, stupid site. If I have to live next door to some of these jerks you don't get my real name.

Useless group of Kyle and Karen constantly complaining and hypocritical by their own statements. If you call them out on it or their misinformation and lies they get butt hurt & report you so your account gets disabled. Really shows how terrible many neighbors are.

Signed on after finding an invite in my mail box. Wished I done some research first! Posted a comment, not critical but just adding to a conversation. The next day it was gone! Keep getting emails asking if I know someone and can approve them, but I can't because this is a rural area and many neighbors are the "wave as we drive by" kind. So I tried to contact them, no info on their sites about email or phone numbers. Googled and found both number and email. Tried to call (their recommendation) and got response "can't connect me right now". Tried twice, in case I had a number wrong. So I sent an email, and guess what? It was returned,"*******@nextdoor" could not be found. What a joke. Hope I can remove myself, before the abuse starts!

Most likely the moderators are community members, when they see negative comments affecting their "image", your posts or comments are removed immediately without any real justification. If you thought Facebook or any other social media site has biased or silencing "fact-checkers", sign up for this one. You'll be really impressed.

Have you noticed how the formal invitation was sent to each individual home in each subdivision in every county in the United STates? Who would fund such a promotion for a free site? Come on people, wake up! The governments in all these areas are directly involved with censoring you. They have especially targeted certain areas of middle and lower class status to see and hear directly what complaints to pinpoint using key words such as those listed@ "www.forbes. Com/.../department-of-homeland-security-forced-to-release-list-of-keywords As well as common words associated with illicit activity, racism and hate crimes. Terrorism is real and Homeland Security takes action in every way possible to fight it. At the same time this is costing the public.
