NextDoor.com Reviews

They use Nextdoor users to volunteer to moderate the app. If a moderator decides they don’t like you or disagree with something you posted they deactivate your account.

I use the app to sell to people in my neighborhood and have spent hours upon hours listing hundreds of items. And for whatever reason they shut you down without notice. The first time they shut my account down without notice was because of a conversation I was having with another neighbor and I sent her a prayer as she was going through a hard time. I guess you’re not allowed to do that but they are not consistent because I’ve seen plenty of posts where people talk about their faith.

The second time the “volunteer” decided to shut my account down was because I commented on someone else’s post that was political. Apparently they didn’t approve my post but everyone else’s posts were just fine and I know because my spouse has an account and I checked and everyone was still active users. This is now the third time they closed my account because they require me to upload my drivers license to verify I am who I am. However my husband has never had to do that. This time around I did not engage in the feed all I used it for was to sell items. I have posted over 200 items which is time-consuming and I was in the middle of conversations with buyers about my items that I can’t reply to now and all that time and energy. These “volunteer” moderators are just everyday users of the app and don't get paid by Nextdoor and have the ability to close any account down they want. I have helped my neighbors out by selling quality items at a great price and never had a bad review or complaint from another user. Very unprofessional. I feel targeted and discriminated against. They have class action lawsuits against them for many things and I am going to sign up. The fact that they have no oversight paid next-door employees to approve or decline moderators that close users' accounts for whatever reason they want. I disputed the first time and was told the bottom line we Don't have to have a reason, its at the moderator's own discretion.

Nextdoor is the most Toxic controlled Local Website APP that you could ever never want to join! It has local moderators and reviewers that control all narratives especially concerning local elections!

I cancelled my subscription with them 2 months ago and they still keep trying to charge my card. You cant get any type of help without reactivating your account which im not doing

NextDoor is full of misinformation and misleading statements, which they seem to encourage. There are many posts of photos with someone just standing at someone's door knocking, or walking down a street, and because the user doesn't know them they have posted their photo as a potential criminal!! What sane person does that?! Yet if the fallacy in this is pointed out, they erase your comment as being "unfriendly!" From everything I see, NextDoor promotes paranoia and hysteria and resists any effort toward truth. Someone told me it is MAGA, and now its issues make sense.

The worst “neighborhood” site I have encountered. Two years ago I shortened my name on the site because I saw others do it. I felt better having shortened my first and last name. Instead of sending me an email and saying, hey, we don’t allow that, you have to show your whole name, they deactivated my account and banned me indefinitely. I believe it had more to do with the fact I responded to a liberal on the site against dementia Joe Biden, that crazy liberal reported me and then I was banned. Is this America anymore?? Hate hate hate Next Door. Liberal crazies running the site.

There is no way I can recommend this absolutely horrible app in good faith to my fellow man.

This site is so corrupt and biased, and ran so poorly. It's shameful and embarrassing for this corporation.

It's a shame, because the site could have a good premise. But unfortunately, the corporation, CEO, and minions Destroyed this site- for Possibly being a decent helpful neighborly site.

The moderators, leads,and customer support team are completely juvenile, and vindictive, Along with not following the company guidelines.

When you are active on the site, everybody tattles on everybody for trigger words and comments. It's Extremely childish.

The moderators and leads do not adhere to the company policy guidelines, but intern they pick and choose what they feel is incorrect lingo by their feelings; Not by the company guidelines!

When you write the company to report an issue, such as a poor moderators and a vindictive leads. You will either be ignored, Receive an incompetent representative, who Clearly does not read your complaint, nor cares, and just writes back with a bunch of misinformation, or they will deactivate your account for being difficult Because you wish to accuse a fellow team member. Hence the word, vindictive.

This company prides itself on being neighborly, kind, nondiscriminatory, non-bulling, and racist. But yet they are all the above.

Who wants to be on a site that behaves like teenagers? I sure don't.

Do yourself a favor before you join this app.

Do your own research.

Start with the Better Business Bureau. 99% one star reviews with the same complaint I am writing above. There are also other review sites that are exactly the same.

If that is not enough evidence for you not to join this toxic site, then I don't know what to tell you.

And to end; The site does nothing regarding assisting the fellow neighbor, other than the occasional lost dog or lost cat.

It really is a waste of time.

Since I established myself as a member the unidentifiable "neighborhood lead" has suspended me three times all because: I asked a crime follow-up question and ND says I had other intent in asking if the police were called to report the incident; and I also confirmed happenings that the city council approved that were negative for the taxpaying community; and commented on an OP wherein they used the term "homeless", in my comment I used "unhomed" and my comment removed wherein the OP's post was not removed; Once the neighborhood lead subjectively has you on their radar they continually censor and unfairly remove your comments then suspend your account. ND will not answer questions as to what in your comment was unacceptable and acts as a dictatorship. ND site is a true example of intimidation and discrimination. If you are thinking of joining, don't, this site will leave you feeling abused and not valuable to society.

I voice my opinions about the injustices done to people such as me, on that website/app, and those people keep hiding my comments like a bunch of Communists that they are!!!

Then they also have the nerve to suspend me like if I was some troublemaker which I'm not. They abuse their authority and treat us unfairly just because they don't like what we say! I will find a much better app than this, and I hope they feel bad about how they treated me and several others!

Very toxic and bigoted people running this horrible app! I wish I could sue for emotional damages!

This site contains advocation of illegal activities, trying to point it out results in banning and suspension. Disgusting moderation practices.

I have been censored, called a racist for stating facts of a robbery that I personal witnessed and stating the suspects were black. And over all experience of this very liberal sited is they do not believe in freedom of speech unless it fits their agenda. You will have 1st amendment rights taken away by some woke hidden person who lords over every post that does not fit or check the democrat boxes, this is ran by the woke Gestapo.

The most fascist platform i have seen, they will censor all medical and scientific information, actively preventing informed consent, in the middle of a medically experimental crisis, they censor all truthful science and information and push and publish only corporate-approved disinformation and misinformation, and prevent u also from criticizing them. They actively disseminate false information as truth, going above and beyond to protect the profits of big pharmaceutical companies w a very well known criminal history, by preventing ppl from sharing concerning information that contradicts the propaganda.

They censored me for using one word 'wrong'('scamdemic' - experimental medical decisions), they censored me when i asked qs about the 5g tower down my street (medical experiment, new tech), they censored me when i made a comment that a homeless man needs a priest, because he was talking to himself (called it 'shaming', yet i did not post the video, just expressed compassion!?), they censored me when i made comments about the Nuremberg Code, and they censored me for criticizing them.

too many sensitive individuals on this app that complain if they dont like your choice of words they just shut you off with out even telling you what you said that was so upsetting, and of course a normal person would not be offended in any way what is written.

I only downloaded the app to help find the owner of a lost dog but I wish I had read the reviews first, lol. I witnessed so much hate, rhetoric, and racism it was unbelievable. One of my neighbors posted a video of a kid kicking and breaking her door. The whole thing became about whether he was just a “kid being a kid” or a thug. Other neighbors chimed in that he had done the same thing to them. The boy was African-American so the word “thug” was greatly offensive to some so it became about race instead of the behavior the woman was trying to stop. ALL truly offensive and racist remarks came from the left but none of those comments were removed by Nextdoor. The only comments removed were those made by reasonable, unoffending people. I deleted the app and won’t be getting it again. Ever!

Useless. No useful information, but a lot of complaining, nasty remarks, requests for money and individuals recommending themselves or a family member -often pretending to be an independent reference- for jobs they are in no way qualified to undertake.

Absolutely awful - I got called names for people disagreeing with a petition I shared for the ltns on my road - reported it..they stated it didn't break guidelines, meanwhile all my shared articles relating to politics, local councillors etc are being hidden as they break guidelines.

Absolutely shameful practice.

One sided , biased crap. Unfortunately myself and several neighbours have all had the same issues and have left it . I think it should be reported for supporting bullying and shaming of people whose opinions differ..I'm a full grown adult - I understand people have a difference of opinion. But as an adult I choose to ignore the post. Not comment on them constantly shaming the person. How this is being allowed I'll never know but I'm determined to share the word and try to ensure people steer clear of this app ! Shamed for being working class, driving, called a liar amongst other names I won't mention. All allowed. Me posting an article relating to Lambeth councils residents survey results etc is deemed inappropriate. Awful experience. Awful moderators. Awful people. Not all but most! Please steer clear !

They are blatantly biased in their removal of content and encourage one belief system to troll the other by deleting content from only one side, leads speaking on behalf of the troll. Eventually strangers (to me maybe friends of the activist and/or lead) joined the thread and started trolling as well. They tied a direct response to a post that was based on logic alone to my political beliefs and then extended it to my Christian beliefs. I have evidence of many very derogatory remarks attacking my religion (based on speculation or the fact that I wear a cross...broad stroke accusations that were wildly inaccurate about both my political beliefs and religious beliefs) comments that remained while reasonable rebuttals were removed. There were a lot of "you people" epithets etc. People started sending private messages that they shared the same experience. I started downloading the content of my interactions on nextdoor.com and got blocked.

I was a neighbor on Nextdoor in a large Texas city and it was great, it was being used for it’s intended purpose, to build a better community. Then I moved to a small town in Texas. Here Nextdoor is a dumpster fire. A great divide between political parties, 75% vs 25% where the majority harasses the minority on a daily basis. I’m a reviewer and there are so many reported comments that ND has to remove, yet there no punishment, other than removal of their comments. It happens over and over and because of that, it will remain a dumpster fire.

One of these persons (in the 75%) sent a made up/fake comment on a private message between the two of us to Nextdoor support and because of that fake comment that was never a part of our conversation (where she she claimed she’d told me to stop messaging her) which she never wrote in the course of our conversation, I was suspended for 14 days. So I appealed, fortunately I take screenshots and I sent ND an email, providing these screenshots as proof of the conversation as it was when I left the private messaging conversation. Undeniable proof.

Where this person’s “fake” comment she sent to ND came from, I don’t know but it never appeared during the conversation as of when I left it. Screenshots prove it. Again, Nextdoor somehow sided with this woman and denied my appeal. So I appealed that decision. I pointed out step by step who said what in chronological order supported again by the screenshots up until the time I permanently left that private messaging conversation. I’m awaiting a response. How anyone can deny what was actually said vs a comment (lie) that came out of nowhere to be sent to ND I just don’t understand. It was made up and that was never in the conversation.

Meanwhile this woman is allowed to continue with all the comments that get her in trouble time after time. So much so she created a proven number of FOUR accounts, which she stated herself on the main feed, they were in the very same neighborhood using DIFFERENT NAMES and I’m the one that got suspended. I’m a dedicated reviewer trying to improve the Nextdoor experience in this town and Nextdoor support knows that.

Yet despite my record of being honest, fair and unbiased, backed up with actual screenshots I received the punishment, for this woman’s lie. This is egregious and an obvious unfair assessment of the situation and consequent punishment.

Clearly, there are many more that see what Nextdoor really is because of all the one star comments... here is my review (from experiences)...

I completely agree that Nextdoor is silencing those with Conservative opinions. They are in fact the worst "social site" on the internet... even worse than Fbook!

I recently made a comment regarding a person selling flowers on the streets, while their babies sat in the shade... in the HOT blistering heat in TEXAS... I posted this comment... "Naturally gotta wonder, is she American or someone here illegally?" It is well known FACT that people (non American) are here illegally, and needy. My comment was removed, as "disrespectful". Nothing disrespectful about questioning this behavior.

On another note, the same day, I made a comment regarding Governor Abbott of Texas as being the better choice for Texas than ANY Democrat, because people are moving here in droves from Democrat led cities and states... to escape crime ridden (primarily) Democrat cities, and states. My comment was removed.

CLEARLY, it appears that Nextdoor is stifling opposing views, and opinions. I have documented each and every time I have been silenced... and also this REVIEW. It appears that Nextdoor is not for Conservative, rational thinkers. Nor is it about "community" and "neighbors". It appears to be a very divisive platform, where the socialists and liberals have a voice over Conservative ideas and opinions

My intention is people need to lock vehicles and stop letting animals get free and removing fees.. it's every other post. It's not disrespectful. It's disrespectful to get a animal and then dump it and or to remove it cause you choose to get it and now it's a big inconvenience somehow.

What is disrespectful is the people that keep wanting to flag and afraid of the truth.

What's disrespectful is my freedom to express the truth. How would you feel if you were that pet stuck in 100 plus degrees and outside dumped or scared and not know where you were?

What's disrespectful is the people that don't lock vehicles up and complain like it is the community fault. What do you think happens when you lock a vehicle and hide items? Less likely to get broken into or rummage through.

Absolutely disgusting gang stalking app that assists Karens and other busy bodies spy on, stalk, harass, slander, ridicule, bully, shame, and ultimately destroy neighbors they don’t even know.

Secretly of course – just like the Stasi of East Germany, the Gestapo of Nazi Germany, the KKK, etc... reading over these reviews it seems many of you have allowed yourselves to become distracted by the Right vs. Left narrative.

Yes, this company was founded by some San Francisco leftists, but they really don’t care. If you move a lot , you will find that both the fascists on the right and the commies on the left are using this app to try and take over neighborhoods and drive the people they don’t like out (or better yet, have them secretly ‘disappeared’).

Have things really gotten to this point in the good ol’ US of A? Sadly yes, and the argument could be made that things have always been this way , if you take into account the great American tradition of extra-legal judiciary measures (that word that you’re not allowed to mention if you want your review posted.

Its not even a question IF its happening, just a question of HOW MANY victims there have been at this point, and how many of those were innocent.

But this app is just a tool, a weapon if you will, and weapons don’t have agency of their own. Whatever prevailing doctrine in whatever particular town, rest assured this app will be weaponized against anyone who not only dare opposes, but also anyone even suspected of not being completely on-board with the programming.

The biggest clown world punchline of this all is that the Nextdoor Corporation likes to promote itself as a great way to foster neighborliness and build ‘nice’ communities, when we all know that in the real world its being used to engender hatred, discord, and negativity. Those who use this app to try and gain 100% control over their environment are the ones who should be ashamed, and maybe should try reading the US Constitution (for once).

All few remaining sensible and freedom loving Americans be aware, and maybe we should band together to try and have this company taken down. Class action lawsuits are being organized, but it may already be too late for America.
