Very biased platform.
September 6, 2022
Just a warning ...if you request to delete your account Nextdoor will refuse to delete if one of their censors suspended your account. My account was suspended for nothing more than a political discussion which another user disagreed with. No threat was made in my responses. No cursing or personal insults.

JessePetton September 23, 2022

100% accurate review, Thanks for posting!

LWSims October 10, 2022

Nextdoor doesn't allow national political comments in the General Feed, only in Groups. Members sign a statement they will comply with Nextdoor Community Guidelines, which most members don't read.

StephanieStevens October 18, 2022

"Nextdoor doesn't allow ANYONE POLITICALLY TO THE RIGHT OF MARX to make national political comments in the General Feed..."

Fixed it for you.

Very biased platform.
September 5, 2022
NextDoor is a very liberal platform. Moderators are fellow peers/users who don't appear to follow any consistent guideline. Most of NextDoor consists of ads that have little to do with neighborhood activities. Many of the posts are "cute dog" photos or posts about sirens that were heard in the areas. The platform is a "whiners" paradise.

LWSims October 10, 2022

Moderators are supposed to follow Guidelines written just for them on how to moderate. Nextdoor provides many opportunities for training for Moderators including national Zoom meetings. Nextdoor requests that neighborhood Leads set the tone on conversations that don't follow their Guidelines to the point of reporting content that violates them. In my area, we use Nextdoor to help reunite Lost pets, help neighbors in need, as well as share safety concerns. If every member would read and follow the ND Guidelines, we wouldn't see so much problematic content. Another part of the problem is that many in our society have become very negative, unneighborly, and rude, and are not receptive to improving their behavior. The problem is not Nextdoor since they promote kindness, neighborliness, and community, but the members who bring their uncivil behavior to Nextdoor, and act as if they are on Facebook.

StephanieStevens October 18, 2022

The problem is people like you LW.

You don't follow the guidelines, but heaven help someone who doesn't agree with you!

Nextdoor is way Too toxic
August 28, 2022
This site is filled with toxic unneighborly nasty people that all they wanna do is gossip about anything. This is the problem we have in our country nowadays no one is neighborly and kind to one another. This app explains why we have so many problems in this country. You people need to get a life. Maybe help your neighbors out, volunteer at a homeless shelter, help your elderly neighbors out or many other things I could think of. But now you got the time to gossip and slander character assassinate people.

JessePetton September 23, 2022

Yes, they asks you to comment on a topic, and if it doesn't abide by their "rules", you're banned! you're better off seeking a legitimate local website ran by your local city or town! Thanks for outing these hacks at Nextdoor!

Every review is 1 star (not just here, everywhere)
August 22, 2022

Cancel culture paradise. If you are interested in starting your own feral cat colony, think that Biden is the best president ever, or just like seeing blurry RING pictures coupled with wild imaginations about what it might be (spoiler alert: it's always dangerous) then ND is the right place for you.

If, however, you happen to be a sane, rational, or an otherwise normally adjusted person you'll find it's a cesspool of psychosis and misinformation.

AlanStein August 22, 2022

I find the people on there to be quite rude.

Absolute accurate review, don't reward Nextdoor by using their website, a few years back this webpage was not bad, now, it's run by crazies with a leftist agenda!

Beware!
July 26, 2022
We moved here 6yrs. ago and used nextdoor for one yr. and LOVED it, learning, buying, etc. then one day we were BANNED and have been for the past 5yrs. with NO EXPLANATION, NO REASON, and told by HOW Pres. we're banned for LIFE at this area. We never once talked of politics, race, religion, anything controversal. We used primarily for referrals to fix house, gardening & buying from neighbors. We've asked EVERYONE in this area for help, but they tell us "it's a mess" and they won't help. HOW can someone do this to us and for life??? Now we're selling home and could use nextdoor for info. on home issues, power washing, etc. CAN ANYONE PLEEEAAASSSEEE HELP US??

RobO August 28, 2022

Same here no reason given. I deleted the app because there’s too much toxicity nastiness.

CmK September 05, 2022

You might find Yelp helpful.

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

there is nobody to talk to to find out what your infraction is

LWSims October 10, 2022

Yes, there is someone you can communicate with at Nextdoor. I've been doing it for the past years. Click on the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of each Guideline Topic. They will send an email to you and assign someone to your question or comment. Also, Nextdoor asks Leads and moderators to send Private Messages to members who are reported and explain their infraction. Unfortunately, most ND members don't read the rules and Guidelines often enough, as they change often. Anyone can report content, but only moderators can vote. ND is using AI to flag content that violates the rules, but it's not always accurate.

StephanieStevens October 18, 2022

"Leads and moderators to send Private Messages to members who are reported and explain their infraction."

BWAHAHAHAHA

You're a funny little liar.

I have NOT once been PMd by a "lead" or "moderator" over my infractions. I just get yeeted.

Same thing happens to others who are not boot lickers to the "cool kids" (read liberals) like you.

Nextdoor a liberal fascist speech monitor
July 13, 2022

If I could give Nextdoor a 0 I would I was suspended at least 3 times from these commies People would lie curse at me and I would report them next thing I knew I was suspended The last suspension they claimed I was not using my real name but then went on to tell me I abused their guidelines.

Not only did the person who reported me for not using my real name call me a racist twice for posting about people using our community amenities and not living there. After I called the person out she lied and said she never called me a racist but I took screenshots and in two different posts she called me a racist I called Nextdoor and left a message after I was suspended. They started w the wrong person Not only did I send them the screenshot posts but found a post on Twitter that they suspended someone for posting God Bless AMERICA. https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1546697548961927168?s=21 NEXTDOOR are nothing but Marxists and need to be sued for what they are doing. I not only called an attorney to discuss this but feel we all need to start fighting back These platforms were meant to shut us up and were created for just this many years ago.

It is all part of the plan to **** conservative minds up I am done w these leftist platforms that talk about being kind and non discriminatory but don’t practice what they preach if anyone is interested in filing a class action lawsuit let me know

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

for real

JessePetton September 23, 2022

you're 100% right, email me at [email protected], i would love to join a class action suit against these commies who ruin peoples ability to communicate with their local neighbors, we need to create a different website for neighbors, just call it 'Neighbors'

Discrimination on next door by mods....
July 6, 2022
Next door has too many left wingers who flag your post and get them disabled because you simply disagree with them....You are not allowed to say you are a Christian...It is okay for a person who is far left to use hate speech against the conservatives.... Also they support a terrorist group...These people attack conservatives free speech...I keep it clean and tactful but truthful and this is the 3rd time I have had my acct disabled.....Next door is nothing more than a left wing platform who targets conservatives and Christians.... Will not be going back...Stay away from next door it does not support free speech unless you are a left winger....

CmK September 05, 2022

Very true.

JessePetton September 23, 2022

Amen.

StephanieStevens October 18, 2022

I'm not a Christian, but they do yeet people they think are Christian.

Had one liberal harridan post "You're a joke, that's not very "Christian" of you.

My response "Oh, isn't that cute. You believe in an imaginary sky-fairy."

My account was permanently disabled.

The harridan who thought she could brow beat someone she mistakenly thought was a Christian: Still there.

This was not a thread about religion, but about the whole Roe V Wade dust up the left collectively lost their mind over. Liberals are so indoctrinated that they assume everyone who is anti-murder is a Christian. I simply stated that I no longer care about the "health and safety of women who get oopsie pregnancies" because the "safe, RARE, and legal" mantra is a LIE. Nothing unkind, uncivil, or cruel in my post.

No PM for a lead or moderator. Just a page screaming that my account was perma banned when I tried to log back in a few days later.

Censorship Galore!
June 11, 2022
This website is nothing more than a liberal think tank. Censorship galore abounds here in spades! God forbid if one should say in your 'conversation' with someone whom you do not agree with the actual truth! NOPE! NADA! NOT ALLOWED! You end up getting suspended like I did. So I just uninstalled their app off of my phone, told them about this and I'm completely done with these folks.

Mob mentality rules/Encourages public shaming
June 9, 2022

As others have observed, this app really is a breeding ground for unpleasant people too toxic to be invited into an offline social group. I live on the UES and my app feed is nothing but cranky seniors, bitter divorcees, and bored housewives trying to get people evicted, fired or arrested for minor infractions or just plain old mistakes that anybody could make on any given day.

Most concerning is how a lot of these attacks and smear campaigns are directed at people of color and service industry types, demonstrating the racism and classism so prevalent on that app.

What really gets me is what absolute cowards some of these online vigilantes are. The most outspoken use fake names or don't post photos, which I thought was required on that app.

Some of them are obscenely stupid and upload people's photos and embellish stories only to have the target of their attack see the post and call them on their blatant dishonesty. One woman swore a man "threw her dog across the street." An eyewitness to the altercation commented and said the man simply pulled the dog's leash in a panic because, as he was running and wasn't looking up, he almost tripped over the dog.

Another crazy person stalked two dog walkers a few blocks, snapped their photos, and badgered them with questions about the dogs because she was sure - absolutely sure - they were kidnapping dogs because the dogs didn't react to the walkers a certain way. The owners of the dogs had to step in to assure everyone the two people were excellent care providers.

God forbid you be homeless or mentally ill due to a global pandemic and behave erratically. Especially if you're a black man. All the White Women will run to post about the mean man that pulled his pants down on the Q train or shouted obscenities at them while they walked their store/breeder-bought Bison Frise or daschund.

Imagine being so miserable that you have to hunt down service industry people and front line workers and take their photos so you can hop on that app and virtue signal in exchange for praise for your bravery and concern for your community.

I've warned my dog walker to be very careful should he take my pup into Carl Schurz park in our neighborhood specifically for this reason.

The app fosters an environment that encourages mob mentality. "Ooooh! Post their photo on this Mommy Facebook group!!" Know why they do that? So they can have ANOTHER forum where they can squat for hours and harass/slander people they don't even know and try to get them fired. They live on these boards and forums.

The more prolific commenters rely on that app for their sole source of social interaction. Probably because their personalities are so rancid nobody wants to interact with them IRL.

DomenickBizzaro August 30, 2022

Yup I was harassed on Nextdoor. A nasty person accused me of having multiple accounts and had his friends attack me. He got 3 weeks suspension. Once his suspension was over he was commenting on every one of my posts as to antagonize me.. I blocked him but he can still post and see my comments.. blocking feature is a joke . You block someone but they can still see your posts and comment. After I told him to stop I was banned on Nextdoor indefinitely. This is the worst social media I have ever been on. Terrible people and all these people do is complain about stupid issues . It should be called neighbors against neighbors.

JessePetton September 23, 2022

Go to the Nextdoor guidelines and rules page, SICKENING !!!

No stars
June 4, 2022

No stars.

They ban without cause. They do not investigate and takes the word of the person that’s just as bad or worse on comments.

Please do not send me any invites to reopen my account.

CherieMoore July 26, 2022

Oh THANK YOU, THANK YOU for posting. We've gone half crazy trying to figure out just what in the world happened for us to not only be rejected, but banned FOR LIFE, or as long as we live at this address, we're told and we were given NO reason. We had NO arguments, no bad language, never talked about stuff like politics, religion, anything controversial, just banned. Guess someone has that kind of power.

FAguilera July 31, 2022

I am banned for one month while perps who send me vile and degrading private messages have open accounts.

Angelseven August 08, 2022

I just kicked off for a month for talking about our border crisis ! I was responding to someone talking about their car getting broken into… stated we had 200,000 coming in our border a month. We live in texas…. Never had all these break ins before… You know, i bet they have bots handling these suspensions or maybe a i employees (they have them at google). It is a scary world we live in!!!!

Lin August 22, 2022

The good part about suspension is that you will find you don’t miss it. So far, I have not. Will cancel it once I am allowed to log in.

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

i have been banned because i no longer wanted to be on review team. now I cannot open the website my name Pam Fantasia. Phx Az

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

well…Lin hasa very good point. lol!,,

No propaganda
May 29, 2022

Conservative propaganda promoting guns and religion (pretty sure Jesus did not carry and loved his enemies) right after the latest gun debacle in a supposed Memorial Day message.

NextDoor should maintain it is not a message board for anything; only local news and services, not religion and politics.

JessePetton September 23, 2022

Even if i don't agree with your viewpoint, i believe in your right to post it and not be removed, you're right it should be for local issues only but things that happen in our nations government spill over into our small communities as well. Thanks for having courage to speak up.

StephanieStevens October 18, 2022

Hey, as long as you're not banned post all the loony lib nuttery you desire. It's easier to just ignore women like you.

However, your side won't let the other side post their nuttery.

So, no sympathy from me.

Useless
May 29, 2022
This place is a joke. I signed on to keep up on things that might be going on around me. the only thing I saw was a bunch of people whining about things they were butt hurt about. If I wanted something this pathetic I would just watch the view. Avoid like it is a plague.

JessePetton September 23, 2022

Oh so true!

Nextdoor actively promotes censorship
May 26, 2022

Nextdoor actively promotes censorship.

Nextdoor has malcontents “report” anything and everyone that has pro-American values.

I was “banned” for 30 days for simple factual innocuous statement:

“when your side has no plausible idea or merit. Call names and rig the vote. I’ve seen it happen may times throughout the world. The CIA are masters at destabilizing”

There is nothing in this statement that is Harmful, mean or name calling per their Code of Conduct.

Nextdoor is a toxic environment

JessePetton September 23, 2022

Yes, it appears that stating anything about the U.S. Government on Nextdoor will get you booted off, the exact same censorship is going on in China, it's no coincidence!

Account temporary disabled for 30 days
May 1, 2022

Calling someone or the HOA a Karen who should mind their business is not disrespectful. Lots of people are called Karen's on Facebook and no one gets their account disabled on Facebook.

Telling someone who doesn't provide proof I'm wrong to provide proof isn't wrong either. 

Oh, and last and not least calling out Trump's mental health (or being anti Trump) isn't wrong considering that there's people that call out Biden's mental health and anti Biden on Nextdoor all the time. 

JessePetton September 23, 2022

Even though I'm a Trump type guy, you're right, you should have the right to question his mental fitness as well as anyone who is president, regardless of party, regardless of 'liberal' or 'conservative', our opinions of elected officials are valid whether we agree or not.

The United States is a constitutional republic where free speech, even online, is to be protected! Nextdoor.com should be place under anti-trust laws for violating free speech guidelines.

LWSims October 10, 2022

Freedom of Speech doesn't apply to private companies. Companies, including social media companies, have the right and freedom to make rules about what is said in their company and on their platforms. For generations, students have been taught incorrectly, or perhaps they learned incorrectly, but the Freedom of Speech only applies to freedom from government interference. To learn about the legal aspects of Freedom of Speech, read this and many other legal interpretations. https://www.carnegielibrary.org/the-first-amendment-and-censorship/

Suspended from using your platform
April 30, 2022

Obviously Jack Dorsey of Square (Block) has rubbed off in a significant way on ND CEO Sarah Friar, who used to be an executive at Square, before leaving to become CEO of ND. Censorship, freedom of expression is not on your guys plate. Drawing in many for a decent clean discussion is not obviously on your plate.

Recently I posted about a hot button issue in Scottsdale, and there were easily well over 60 folks who joined the discussion., one of whom who was highly inflammatory in his comments about a Council person. I called him out on that in no uncertain terms, and I was then suspended following his complaint, from using ND. I

f this is the way you run your business, which clearly it is, it is now understandable why the price of your stock is now down 60% from its its initial public offering/SPAC. price. I suggest you all will not be able to monetize your asst with the attitude that now clearly runs the company.

What a shame, as I have enjoyed using your sight, but now see that it is following the policy of censorship, freedom of expression not allowed, much like Jack Dorsey's Twitter, your CEO's mentor. I am hopeful someone of some stature at your company reads this. jgbloch@

JessePetton September 23, 2022

Love that you're outing these hypocrites!

Not a good place to meet your neighbors
April 27, 2022

Nextdoor.com states that they "do not allow: Attacking, berating, bullying, belittling, insulting, harassing, threatening, trolling, or swearing at others or their views". This statement is unequivocally not true but a cover up on how they really run their posts.

If you report someone for doing any of the above they will target every word you say then block you for an undetermined amount of time without acknowledging what offense you committed while at the same time allowing racist, misogynic, and anti-LGBTQA+ slurs to continue.

I have addressed this with 2 different "agents" that feel the need to respond with irrelevant scripts and quoting incorrect posts.

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

true

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

a cruel and mean atmosphere

JessePetton September 23, 2022

i had the same thing happen to me on their site, Nextdoor.com should be under anti-trust laws as setforth under freedom of speech in the U.S. constitution.

Assaulters of freedom of speech
April 25, 2022
It’s trash. Completely biased. Let’s work together to get rid of this app and put our phones down and actually talk with our neighbors. We the ppl have the power.it’s time to stand up to our tyrannical system. Let’s go! We got this!

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

i was on review team…totally by accident! and i asked to be removed after a month or so…now i am blocked from the site. from: pam fantasia previous review team member phx az reach me at pammiefantasia at gmail.com

harassment, bullying, stalking, etc.
April 24, 2022

At first this was an okay site. But the last 2 years it has been taken over by left wing psychopaths. Now it is just another Facebook.

I was banned for reporting a dishonest contractor, an electrician practicing without a license. ND didn't like this to they disabled my account.

My post was up for 2 days and during that time the verbal abuse, insults, name calling, belittling, stalking directed at me was unbelievable. Others that stood up for me got the exact same treatment.

Goodbye and good riddance ND. You are the worst.

Angelseven August 08, 2022

Another communist site

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

no question…a mean group of people.

ND inconsistent and biased
April 21, 2022

I have nothing good to say about the ND site. I keep a record of all my Posts and whom/subject it was Posted to. Nextdoor will let a feed go and go as long as it's one of their "Like" darlings. But if you challenge their "darling" then you get flagged or "Put In ND jail."

There is no way to see or challenge which Post got flagged. I never flag or block a Post I would rather debate them and put them to task. But that gets you into trouble because you're not one of the "darlings." I see it over and over again a non-political Post will go political and I'll follow it to see how long it last until it gets turned off.

ND is inconsistent and biased. Not surprised, San Fran..... based.

If you are not in the clique you are not liked!
April 21, 2022

Next door use to be a Great Service, but as of lately other groups have seem to taken over and it is no longer a group to be respected. They are a local Twitter or Facebook and is getting worse... Just by asking the question "WHY" when it comes asking why someone is not happy about something, I get banned. I said and did nothing wrong.

When nextdoor started, they were great, they were the best... Now they are the worst. They have been taken over by people who want to state their views as fact and dismiss everyone elses view, and nextdoor allows that. You ask someone why and you get suspended.

Good Bye Next Door.

CmK September 05, 2022

Delete the app like I did....you won't miss it.

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

good advice
