NextDoor.com Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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

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. 

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@

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
