Great Place To Get Drama and Bullying
April 13, 2022

Very whiney, bullying, hateful app. I removed it and unsubscribed. It’s overloaded with venom. There is already too much of that in this world. It’s frightening to see how much of it is going on in your own neighborhood.

No thank you!

FAguilera July 31, 2022

People I do not know private message me with obscenities and name-calling. Who needs it.

Delusional people use it.
April 11, 2022

If I could give it a 0 I would. waste of time on this app. I was on this app twice and no more. Can't recall when I was on the app. It's for delusional people...

Liberals are out of their minds.
March 28, 2022

NextDoor is a liberal run neighborhood news source...as long as you support the liberal narrative of insanity and no idea why Joe Biden was elected through the cloud manipulation of the vote--you are good.

If you say anything about the liberal stupidity, if you have no idea of how liberals think reality exists...you are banned.

KellyR April 01, 2022

I agree Dave! I would add if you aren’t a staunch PC, liberal Caucasian, who is prepared to nod yes against your beliefs and never speak up or out against anyone no matter what they are allowed to say because of their race and follow along with the rest of the terrified sheep, than get ready to be tattled on by high school aged adults for not walking in a straight line and being sent to time out for two weeks like a child!

Sure, sometimes people are looking for pets but more often than not it’s political bs and shaming that the leaders are allowing to happen. One time a neighbor recorded her neighbor and shared it in a post just to shame her neighbor. She didn’t need anything from anyone, she only wanted to embarrass him. The post received over 400 responses from “so called caring neighbors” saying things like they were going to commit violence on the guy! Myself and other neighbors began feeling seriously scared for the guy and started asking where were the leads, this is getting serious!

The week went on and more and more people chimed in, more people began calling for the leads and yet they never responded. We started reporting the post itself and still nothing was done. I even contacted the main office and they never responded back and the post was still going. It was really sad. But they say how much they care about their neighbors, only if they are PC and they approve of them.

If you feel this app is this important to you, then it’s all yours. But you have been warned. It’s not even close to how this author makes it out to be or they wouldn’t have been sued as many times as they have been and counting! After all, they truly believe they are invincible. They don’t feel they owe neighbors an explanation of why they remove them, they do what they want. Life is definitely too short for this much hassle over an app!

KristaSlack April 30, 2022

Dave and Kelly you both are a 100% correct. I have had a pack of hyenas attack me over

CherieMoore July 26, 2022

I just can't believe the POWER someone out there holds to bump you at any time, for any reason, never need to tell you why and for as long as you live in that area??? What??? Even criminals get released of crap, but we don't even know what happened. And when we ask someone to look into this, it's like we're starting trouble and are treated like crap. What is this? We live in CHESAPEAKE, VA. Today is 7-26-22.

Useful, but ruined by political activists, bigots and racists
March 23, 2022

I gave it 1 because there is no '0'. The site is useful but manipulated by 'effusive' leads own political views and opinions. Invariably those above them also.

Such leads will protect the 'like minded' while penalizing & shutting down facts, the truth of those trying to prove the false claims, twisted context and in my case their bald-faced lies, (of which I have copied & pasted as admissible evidence), they even shut down humour.

There is no appeal. Such protected political advocates then troll, harass and suggest to posters if they do not like it. leave the site. I will stay on;y to report them under their own Rules.

KellyR April 01, 2022

Double,

You are so right! It was just done to me. Outright lies time and time again. I asked three times for the exact wording I supposedly used to violate their so called racist, discrimination policy (aka PC policy) and instead of responding back to me with what I asked for, they sent the policy verbiage each time.

If I had actually done what I was being accused of, it should have been easy to just copy and paste the offensive wording and send it to me. Just show me what I said but they can’t, because I didn’t do anything wrong. I know how you feel and what you’re going through. It’s so frustrating! It’s not worth all this stress and time we’re allowing it to consume us.

When I asked again, I was promptly sent to the big boss to be put in my place. I sent her back an email book of my thoughts lol. I’m done with the drama!

SanFran Speech Police
March 7, 2022

Another speech police company from San Francisco Commiefornia . Some person in my neighborhood was pushing the vaccines saying they are fully FDA approved which is a complete lie.

I corrected the person saying they were approved for (EUA) Emergency use authorization. Linked the appropriate FDA.Gov page showing exactly that and was suspended few hours later. Stay away and sue them if you were injured by vaccine from their false advice.

Also, any proclaimed democrat can say any lie or insult they desire without any warning or repercussions. It's a real sewer, don't dirty yourself.

Egregious One-Way Censorship Against the Right
March 2, 2022
Nextdoor is nothing more than Facebook 2.0. Facebook now has some kind of business partnership with Nextdoor. The regularity to which Nextdoor's biased and Left leaning leads censor, silence, oppress, harass, and ban/suspend their conservative participants is beyond measure! I was just suspended for 15 days for merely saying that some of their unnamed biased leads were constantly deleting the entire posts, and/or comments of the Right. According to them, we are not allowed to disclose what is being done to us. How dare we criticize them for violating our First Amendment rights (LOL). In other words, we have no due process. Quite shocking indeed!! Someone pinch me, I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. Nextdoor has deployed the nefarious tactic of letting their unhinged Left participants troll in our private conservative groups, start a fight, and then run to their biased leads to get us deleted, and/or banned. Are we living in America still? Nextdoor obviously does not believe in the Free Speech of their Right participants. Shame on them!!!

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

Yes I noticed that. Signed up to know what was going on in own village but soon many neighborhoods connected and if you say something someone doesn't like even if it is the truth, you get censored, banned. A bunch of liberals trying to shut down anyone they deem racist or not "woke" apparently, among other things. Never mind what science says they listen to demos telling ties. It was useful at first for recommendations on companies, crime in neighborhood, accidents info. but then if you comment get blocked. I don't miss it really.

KellyR April 01, 2022

Stephen/Judith,

Yes, that’s why I gave up Facebook years ago. I feel like each of us could end up writing a book about our experiences with just Nextdoor. There are that many insane stories. The liberal mainstream media and biased posts made Facebook so boring and Nextdoor is the same way. I deleted it and never looked back. It’s time to do the same thing with Nextdoor.

I also read where Facebook and Nextdoor were affiliated and that was all I needed to know to decide to make my decision. The stress the leads put on everyone if you’re not PC correct, the snitch Bs that troll and tattle on everyone, you never know what you’re saying if someone is going to turn you in and the lead doesn’t care if it’s true or not. All he cares about is if you’re PC or if the other person is. That’s who they’re going to back, not you.

They lie and ignore your request for answers. Then they take offense if you even ask and shut you down. They think they’re above the law. They pretend like they protect or care about the users, when they actually cause people pain and stress. They’re just another app I won’t miss.

Nosy People with nothing better to do
February 16, 2022
Bunch of busybodies with nothing better to do. Some psycho with their own radar gun (because doesn't everyone have their own radar gun) is posting photos of a lady because she's going 13 miles over the speed limit, for the love.

KellyR April 01, 2022

Yep, instead of peeking out through the kitchen curtains, they’re just doing it from their computers and phones now. The only difference is, they get to snitch anonymously on others behind the curtains. It’s a PC trolls paradise!

Biased, Ignorant. Arrogant Moderation
February 8, 2022

Some of the volunteer reviewers/leads are under contract from the city to provide promotional material. They attack anyone who criticizes a city program and report and/or remove their posts.

The "moderation" done by Nextdoor itself is frequently even worse. You can post articles from the Journal of the American Medical Association which debunk propaganda and be flagged for spreading misinformation.

The replies you get from their customer services sound like they were composed by primitive bots, or people with no education. Nextdoor customer support pretends to listen but always responds by repeating the same nonsensical assertions.

Nextdoor guidelines encourage users to provide references for claims they make, but it does not recognize the validity of even the most solid and respected sources. This hypocrisy is one of the reasons Nextdoor is a third-rate social media platform.

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

That's so true just like FB even if it was said on the news by doctors, they deny it. They knock you off without so much as a way to reply by why it shouldn't be. The forum no longer is of benefit to me

KellyR April 01, 2022

Brad,

Thank you for posting this message. I have been trying to figure out why Nextdoor removed me for two weeks from a recent post. Recently a neighbor posted a news article about a woman who was arrested in the alley behind his house. In the camp, they found with the woman human feces, drug paraphernalia like needles and pills, used tampons, various mail from people who lived nearby and clothing strewn all over with the feces on it. You can imagine how the conversations were but there was one bigmouth going on about how the lady had to have started that way because of her doctor. That it had to be the doctors fault and it always starts with the pain medication and how she was positive.

Anyway, she was this PC liberal going on about it wasn’t the person’s fault and she just needed help and you know the type. Everyone is telling her keep in mind this person is a thief, she stole peoples mail she didn’t care she is using capital letters and screaming at people, swearing and telling people me to mind our business. I explained to her the DNC already made so many policy changes that doctors have cutback on peoples medications that if she and others aren’t careful, they’ll end more problems for people who are on medication management plans.

A couple of days later I was cutoff the app. No explanation, none. I had to initiate the request and they didn’t reply back right away until the next day. Everytime I ask why I just keep getting the same verbiage saying, We have a strict policy against racist behavior, discrimination, and hate speech. Yet, that’s exactly what they did to me!

After reading your post, I understand now. It all makes sense to me. The person making the false claims lied as do the rest of the people who proceeds to lie continuously and when I call her on her claims, she doesn’t recognize she has been caught in a lie, she just reiterates it in a different way. Still avoiding my request to send me the exact words I used to somehow after all these years I’m going to pick this one day and unknowingly (I still don’t know what I said) and get myself kicked off. While I have been in the process of helping two homeless (oops, not allowed to say homeless)women find a place to live, they cut me off. So I have no idea what happened to those women now and one was feeling so scared we thought she was going to do something so I was frantically trying to find her help. I told this person that, but she didn’t care. This is a portion of the email. I never did find anything in the email that referenced where I said the lady was homeless but they tried to say I did “multiple” times.

This was what I received the third time I requested the wording in my post to explain why I was kicked off. She still wouldn’t send me anything. So she sent this instead.

(In your comment you refer to homeless people multiples times. We do not tolerate racism, hateful language, or discrimination of any kind. The content was found to be discriminatory because it assumed that someone was engaged in suspicious activity or criminal behavior because of their housing status.

Every neighbor should feel welcome, safe, and respected when using Nextdoor. You may respectfully challenge issues by focusing on the facts or ideas you want to communicate, without attacking or insulting others).

Oh, does she mean like the troll was doing to everyone else, that type of attacking? Because we were trying to avoid her. She was spastic and completely overreacting!

I apologize, I didn’t mean to go on and on. You are correct, the leads commonly deleted people and entire posts all the time whenever they didn’t like what people were saying, especially if it wasn’t politically correct. They say they don’t allow political comments but they do when it fits their narrative only. If someone posts something about Biden and they discuss it for as long as they want to. I know better than to say anything or I’ll get kicked off so I wait to see if any leads will do something. They don’t. But if that happened with Trump or Bush, I guarantee you, people would be kicked off for good.

Moderators can be biased and take down posts that follow guidelines
February 7, 2022
Individuals with a personal vendetta are capable of becoming "Review Team" members and take down your posts. Nextdoor moderation system is corrupt.

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

Exactly, if you don't align with them you are gone. I know several who gave up don't want back on.

KellyR April 01, 2022

I didn’t think of that. I receive those email invitations to become one of their SBs regularly, I can’t imagine doing to someone else what they have done to me and putting that person through such unnecessary stress not to mention lying to them like what they’re doing to me. No Thanks! I would rather cut off my arm before I would do that to another person. I can’t be that inhumane to someone else.

Communist next-door app
February 4, 2022
This is the worst platform for censoring. I posted a link to a Washington hearing. And was considered a conspiracy theory. Because they were telling you the truth about the China virus and the vaccines. It’s pathetic.

KellyR April 01, 2022

Yes, now you’re on a watchlist. So everything you post is being watched, monitored and reported back on and when anyone snitches on you, they will always be believed over you.

Blocked for three days just now
February 2, 2022
ND is censoring free speech and banning free thinkers over personal opinions. Unlawful & unconstitutional, regardless of guidelines.

StevenP March 02, 2022

I wholeheartedly agree Gennie! See my post at the top (Steven P).

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

I also agree, you really can't participate in any conversations without sooner or later getting bumped off. They should rename it something else since it is NOT neighborly at all as far as I am concerned.

KellyR April 01, 2022

You’re right Judith, sadly, what could have been a nice app for neighbors to interact with together is anything but.

pamelaCamara September 14, 2022

absolutely not geared for making friends with neighbors.

Avoid them!
January 20, 2022

I originally signed up for a nextdoor.com account because I wanted to know more about what was going on in our area, learn more about local businesses, and hear about things that might affect me (for example, from the sheriff's office). At first, those goals were met. I gave away some things that I no longer needed, kept records of local businesses that were recommended and I might want to use later on, etc.

Then Covid arrived, the 2020 election fracas followed, and now there is vigorous censorship of any content that does not fit within their definition of authorized information. I normally only read posts, but around January 10, 2022 when a thread was started by someone who was complaining about what was going on in the hospitals near here in terms of overcrowding and others were starting to talk about how they were getting sick even though they were fully vaccinated and boosted, I offered some facts, including a statement about what the CDC itself had admitted -- that these so-called vaccines do not prevent either infection OR transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Without warning or notice, my account was suspended for 7 days for my having posted "medical misinformation." I had to agree to abide by their policies in order to reactivate it, and I am not willing to stop speaking the truth. Instead, I decided to post about my experience and let others know about their censorship.

When these various tech players are made to account for their censorship practices, I sincerely hope that Nextdoor.com will be among those punished for their actions and taken out of business.

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

Same here but I don't miss them, bunch of liberals pushing buttons to delete anyone not worthy of a comment apparently.

KellyR April 01, 2022

Ditto Judith! It sounds familiar with my recent situation.

I too was just removed from Nextdoor for mentioning the CDC and factual information. When I asked three times why I was kicked off I was given some nonsense about not tolerating racism, hateful language, and discrimination because they assumed I was making a reference toward homelessness. Unbelievable I know!

At Nextdoor it doesn’t matter what the case is, the person who is living on the streets robbing people, stealing mail, catalytic converters and robbing homes is to be seen as someone who needs help and never to have a bad word said against them. If anyone says anything they will be turned in to the Nextdoor SBs and kicked out promptly and need to sign a I will never do it again before they are allowed back in.

Very uneven, unfair moderation.
December 16, 2021
if i could give zero stars I would. They allow others to remain on the site for far more egregious "offenses" than my relative was banned for. Very uneven, unfair moderation.

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

I'd give them 0 too, totally became useless to us

NextDoor.com deserves a zero star rating
November 19, 2021

NextDoor provides free speech to Democrats, Leftist, Socialists, Progressives, Marxists, Communists, Faucites, and Pro-Forced Vaxers.

Biden and Fauci and the CDC can do no wrong, but quoting them with something they said a week ago or longer will get you suspended.

Conservatives are allowed, as long as they keep their conservatism to themselves.

Watched_Over January 20, 2022

Totally agree! I hope more people will boycott them and deprive them of their revenue, as I have decided to do.

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

We agree also. I'd change the name. Most of it not even my neighborhood

Too Much Info
October 30, 2021
They really shouldn't list peoples' addresses, much less show them on maps. People get into petty arguments or foolishly say they'll be out of town for the next 6 mths......Someone with a grudge against another person can show up at their door. Someone wanting to rob a home merely needs to check nextdoor to see who's gone and for how long.

BobD January 05, 2022

Yep. You are right.

Someone complained that my name was too short, so Nextdoor blocked my account. I put two and two together, figured out who complained, looked up his address in the city's assessor's web site, and found his mortgage on the county's registry.

See how easy it can be? What's stopping me from watching his house, getting his car's license-plate number, and stealing his mail? This is what's stopping me: myself.

BobD January 05, 2022

I forgot to mention that I told Nextdoor to keep their liability insurance in force, and I told them not to reinstate my account.

Censorship on steroids for sure!
October 12, 2021
It is ridiculous that they can suspend your account for 30 days and not even tell you why. I have not posted anything in the general section except questions for local contractors or local issues. I have posted and responded on political discussions, which is a private group. The censorship is ridiculous on Next Door!

Chuck December 29, 2021

I had this happen repeatedly and as you indicated, they don't tell you way... no emails indicating ""YOUR POST XXXXXX... WAS AGAINST OUR GUIDELINES AND WAS TAKE DOWN. DUE TO THIS, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE SUSPENDED UNTIL DD/MM/YYYY". You receive nothing! Horrible website.

I guess another liberal anti-constitutional social media website.

Crotalus January 15, 2022

Yup My first account was banned for life, after massive attacks/reports against me for having a slightly different take on a few things.NextDoor suspended my account forever with ZERO explanation.

Now a few years later, I see there is almost no activity left in my locality (I created new account and Nextdoor hasn't figured out they banned me forever)

Watched_Over January 20, 2022

Totally agree. I just got suspended without notice for responding to my neighbor's complaints about getting sick with Covid after being fully vaxxed and boosted with facts, including some from the CDC. I am not going to reactivate my account because I have no intention of abiding by their definition of "medical misinformation." I hope more people will boycott them, cost them their revenue and bring them down. If these tech companies are ever held liable for their social engineering actions, I hope nextdoor.com is punished for their criminal violations of free speech.

CENSORSHIP
October 10, 2021
Censorship on Steroids! They will bully members by disabling accounts into compliance "speech". Needless to say I left that trash place.

Watched_Over January 20, 2022

Good for you! I have just left them for their outrageous censorship practices.

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

Many of us have. A waste of our time

Lack of control over harrassment by Leads
September 15, 2021

From the perspective of sharing information with neighbors, this is a useful app.

The problem with Nextdoor, is they have some corrupt and harassing Leads who they refuse to get into line.

I reported a Lead and he was told about it and retaliated against me. Now, that lead is on the board of my HOA. If anyone questions or criticized him, they are censored to the extreme. Even my posts complimenting other users on good they have done, are being deleted by this bullying and corrupt Lead. I wish Nextdoor had a more transparent and professional way to report corrupt behavior.

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

That should not be as nothing will get done nor be fixed. I recommend people boycott it

Stay away!
September 6, 2021
This San Francisco based company uses the U. S. Postal Service deceptively with mailings "signed" by nearby neighbors inviting participation to this platform. Next Door, Inc., harvests and markets personal data which is their primary mission. They advise prospective users to take "a moment" to read their 7000+ word terms. Another "moment" will be needed to read their 7500+ word "privacy" policy.

Nextdoor's contribution to society a net negative
August 31, 2021
Nextdoor.com bills itself as a neighborhood forum yet they continually are removing discussions and posts which contain information pertaining to public policy and how it affects neighborhoods, schools and local small businesses. In a divided America, it is important for neighbors to gain an understanding of each others's perspectives so that we might learn how to move forward as a people. The high level of censorship renders the service not only useless but also serves to increase the level of divisiveness. This makes nextdoor's contribution to society a net negative. I'm done with it.

JudithAllen March 21, 2022

It's a 0 as far as we can see
