NextDoor.com Reviews

I'm howling reading some of these reviews. Nextdoor may be a liberal group, but leftist? Never! If it were truly leftist, what happened to me never would have happened. One neighbor listed a problem, and another neighbor suggested that she get a candle dedicated to a particular Pagan deity (Santeria/Yoruba) and ask for help. Another neighbor piped in and started complaining that she should keep her religion to herself and that Nextdoor should not have religion or politics on it.

Now, this is a heavily Christian neighborhood, and neighbors are always blessing one another or calling on God or Jesus for something. I, also a member of a minority religion, albeit a different one, objected to her comment and offered support to the Santero. The good, fine upstanding Christian woman wrote a bunch of babbling about religious freedom and said that I should be banned from the site. I complained to Nextdoor about her bigoted comment, and I was banned for four days.

I just looked through my husband's account, and my account cannot be found, but the bigots are still there. I find religious bigotry disgusting. Nextdoor is hardly a leftie organization in my opinion. It's just fine for thumper Christians to spew their disdain against others who don't believe as they do.

They have deleted many posts that don’t agree with their narrative. So if you give out any information about the covid vaccine or your thoughts on whether it should be mandated. They just delete. We were having a decent conversation back and forth and they deleted any comments that were negative about covid vaccine mandates!! What happened to free speach

I tried to write a comment about the status of our reservoirs in California. I stated fact that 2 years ago our reservoirs were over capacity with enough water to last 5 years. Our reservoirs are now near empty. The California government is flushing our water into the ocean.

This comment was deleted within about an hour, without comment.

Next door locks you out if they dont agree with your statement or question. They deem when others verbally attack your comment it had to be you. So much for fact checkers. Next door is now as dead a place as any other social media, let people bash america and thats ok, talk smack thats ok but stand up for free speech , oh no. Thats political. the hipocracy. Good day next door

Nextdoor has a laundry list of "guidelines" that might as well be directed to all conservatives. Even in a private group, you are prohibited from saying the 2020 was stolen or that the covid vax is not 100% safe or even that HCQ and Ivermectin can cure Covid. Not allowed... because you know, misinformation.

There are "Leads" that get reports and decide whether you need to go to ND jail or be banned permanently. There was a Trump group with over 1700 members that was deleted without warning or reason given. This is CCP censorship just like Facebook, Twitter, IG and YouTube. But I suppose if you are a liberal, you will like Nextdoor.

You don't have privacy with ND. They require you to use your full name and addtess and make that publicly available. Even if you protect address, they can find you and where you live on any other municipal public records site, using your full name. Every post you make ALWAYS has your full name. Totally not cool.

I can be helpful.

1. Too many posts from all around the country- counted 16 just yesterday before I even got to our local newsfeed...... annoying

2. Too easy for people to report others - several are using this tool as their own personal vendetta when they could just easily mute

They sent me a physical letter pretending to be one of my neighbors, but it was post marked from out of state. i'm not an idiot. and the implication of this is that my neighborhood has been categorized, tracked, and sold by this social media company. I have never used the app and i don't even really know what it does but i don't really care, i know enough about their business model to give them one star.

Communistic Platform with Extreme Censorship. Avoid!!! Unless you like to be controlled.

Like many others have reported, this website is sadly supportive of leftist bias and censoring of conservatives. I have found it helpful in learning about little issues like Internet outages or services that neighbors have liked. But this is a hyper political world right now and this website does not equally apply its policies.

It’s “moderators” seem to be leftist activists bent on censorship of opposing points of view. I’ve even seen positive posts about neighbors supporting each other in the last winter storm devolve into accusations of the poster using racist conservative “dog whistles.” WTH!? If you point out that “speech you hate” is not “hate speech,”and you’re a conservative… You will be suspended and the leftists will be vindicated.

Clearly a more neutral site needs to be created that keeps the useful purpose and dumps the manipulative censorship.

I joined, but had to leave. The rules are supposed to forbid political activity, but the site was being used to organize a political protest against President Trump. I reported this, but they chose to allow it, so I left. What a joke this web site turned out to be. All they do is cause trouble.

This is a platform designed for liberals only. I was suspended for posting the actual insert info from Pfizer itself accusing me as spreading misinformation. This company is based in SAN FRANCISCO. Liberal capital of the country. It is absolutely disgusting the level they go to, to censor Americans who are trying to inform fellow citizens of any dangers. I will spread this far and wide without their platform and will likely reach far more people that are not sheep. Here is the BBB link to see for yourself that is an UNACCREDITED "business"

It shows as A

BBB Rating

It is my opinion that NextDoor is NOT trustworthy as it actively supports criminal activities on NextDoor, specifically unlicensed criminal contractors and unlicensed criminal businesses.

In March and April 2019, HuffPost and Wired reported that NextDoor had paid a firm to improve NextDoor's reputation.

"During the George Floyd protests, many members of the National Leads Forum - a community of Nextdoor moderators - criticized NextDoor member's support of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Too many NextDoor users had their accounts suspended or their posts deleted for supporting BLM. On June 11, 2020 Nextdoor explicitly instructed its moderators to allow discussions on the Movement for Black Lives, including BLM." That instruction was and continues to be ignored by NextDoor moderators.

There is no customer service at NextDoor. There is no way to directly contact NextDoor. The hundreds of Reviews of NextDoor at BBB, which NextDoor is NOT a member of, are numerous and overwhelmingly and compellingly negative.

NextDoor is a for-profit corporation. NextDoor's revenues are solely based on ad views. I've come to the opinion that NextDoor promotes less good that it does the bad of scams, racism, unlicensed contractor criminals, sexism, hatred, unlicensed business criminals, bigotry, harassment, neighbor bashing, slander, gossip, bullying, name-calling, racial-profiling, nastiness, swearing; all the most extreme in truly bad behavior solely to acquire more ad views and their resulting profit to NextDoor.

I was also quite disturbed to later learn from the news that Nextdoor founder Nirav Tolia, when the good Lord passed out a conscience, a heart, a feeling for others, must have been out for a beer and missed out, plead down a very very un-neighborly charge of FELONY Hit-and-Run which resulted an injured woman to a sentence of 30 days in jail for Hit-And-Run. Several witnesses recorded his license plate and description, turned it over to police, who then showed up at Nextdoor founder Nirav Tolia's home where they arrested him. 1 John 3:4 ESV / Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

"Tolia has a lengthy history of lawsuits, including one for defrauding former business partners. In the court documents for a trademark suit, Tolia is even quoted calling himself "an angry driver."

In August 2020, NextDoor founder Nirav Tolia listed for sale his San Francisco home in the Pacific Heights neighborhood for $25 million. Tolia bought the home in 2011, for $7 million The Wall Street Journal reported.

NextDoor sent my family and I an invitation to join. We did. "Seems like a good idea, a social site in which the universe of participants is limited to your neighborhood and surrounding neighborhood. There's a potential for great benefit to post information relevant to your neighbors and to get such information, as well as local alerts and such."

Nextdoor is a privately-held company based in San Francisco with backing from prominent investors including Benchmark, Shasta Ventures, Greylock Partners, Kleiner Perkins, Riverwood Capital, Bond, Axel Springer, Comcast Ventures and others.

NextDoor has pros and cons. After a trial period of a year we've come to the opinion NextDoor's cons outweigh its pros. Unfortunately, my Nextdoor online neighborhood was hijacked by criminal activities. NextDoor is violating my state’s laws and my county’s laws and my city’s laws as it is, for profit, providing a platform for criminals to conduct their crimes. In my state as in all 50 states, conducting a contracting business without the required contractors license is a crime and a Deceptive Crime Practice and Fraud. In my state as in all 50 states, conducting a business without the required business license is a fine and a Deceptive Crime Practice and Fraud. In my county, as in most if not all counties in America, conducting a business without the required fictitious name certificate is a crime and a Deceptive Crime Practice and Fraud. In my city, as in most if not all cities in America, conducting a business without the required business license is a crime and a Deceptive Crime Practice and Fraud. In spite of numerous complaints to NextDoor, NextDoor continues to give these criminals a platform to conduct their criminal activities.

Misinformation by illegal criminal unlicensed contractors and unlicensed criminal businesses is routinely posted and re-posted and spammed that causes great harm and NextDoor continues to allow it. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nicolenguyen/nextdoor-scams

NextDoor does not enforce its own rules and routinely itself violates its own rules. Even after being notified and being repeatedly notified of numerous and on-going public criminal activities on NextDoor, NextDoor continues to actively support criminal activities on NextDoor.

NextDoor is a for-profit corporation. NextDoor's revenues are solely based on ad views. In the year we used NextDoor, we've come to the opinion that NextDoor promotes less good that it does the bad of scams, racism, unlicensed contractor criminals, sexism, hatred, unlicensed business criminals, bigotry, harassment, neighbor bashing, slander, gossip, bullying, name-calling, racial-profiling, nastiness, swearing; all the most extreme in truly bad behavior solely to acquire more ad views and their resulting profit to NextDoor.

Although Proverbs 3:27 "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act: The NextDoor leads aka moderators were and are clearly NOT supportive of military Veterans and Active Duty GIs.

After a trial period of a year we've come to the opinion that NextDoor is routinely actively involved in illegal racketeering and is illegally aiding and abetting criminal activities as it does nothing to ensure a legal, or safe environment like they falsely claim. NextDoor has repeatedly demonstrated it is only interested in its REVENUES no matter how obtained. Hence why they are a BILLION dollar company.

Proverbs 28:9 ESV / If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. I wonder what NextDoor would be like if it actually enforced its own rules. That we will never know as long as "I'm from a corporation and I'm here to help," means help ONLY the corporation executives NOT you the corporation's customers or employees or shareholders or community or neighborhood.

Matthew 6:24-25 ESV / "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

Nextdoor censored my honest accurate information about the side effects of the quickly dispensed COVID-19 Coronavirus vaccine that I made in good faith to educate people living in my area. Nextdoor also disabled my account to prevent me from posting to my neighbors. I do not deserve this blatant suppression of my right to free speech while they are now abusing their power to prevent my information from being published due to their own political agenda that includes suppressing my said freedom of speech which should be and is allowed by constitutional law! SEE BELOW!

IMPORTANT: Private companies utilizing public forums are indeed subject and can be litigated due to consequences for abusing the first amendment as Nextdoor has been doing to me and many hundreds of other people! They should be litigated for this bad faith!

Zero star review. Joined and enjoyed the content until I started seeing (and experiencing) selective censorship of different posts. In my previous neighborhood, Leads/moderators had personal agendas that made it impossible for them to be fair and impartial. They would not even follow Nextdoor's own guidelines when censoring posts. Nextdoor offers no assistance.

I requested permanent removal of my profile/account from Nextdoor (on numerous occasions). They would only "disable" my account. After moving to a new city several hundred miles away, I have learned that someone has somehow accessed my "disabled" account and had me join as a new member in my new neighborhood.

Because my account was disabled by Nextdoor, I can only assume they have done this to beef up their "active" member numbers for advertising purposes as I am not even able to access my own account to un-join in my neighborhood.

NextDoor has joined the ranks of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. with their censorship of conservative views. Some liberal face masker got offended when I disagreed with them and called them sheeple. As a result I got banned for 14 days.

Moderators can censor your comments and frequently do without explanation or recourse. Name calling, profanity, and double-standards are allowed but reporting news, facts, and using reason to argue are frowned upon. Can be and often is just as biased and capricious as Twitter or Facebook.

I believe this is a good idea that can be useful to local and service businesses like mine. Dh financial health insurance services. Yet, in spite of it being a good concept, it will fail from the overall management of the business, areas of neglect and it not having available. "Live" customer support.

Next door is now charging for zip code area promotion of your business, and state, while drafting monthly payments from your checking account, that you must have customer recommendations before they promote your business; however, they have nowhere on their website for your clients to place their reviews, or recommendations.

My clients explored the website and could not place their reviews on it; therefore, my business is not being displayed nor promoted. Next door ,in the meanwhile, is consistently withdrawing $31 a month from me. Next door is unreachable to correct the problem!!

They do not answer your emails sent to the email : agency support ... Nor on their telephone line, when you leave a voice mail message: it says to write to agency support who never responds to calls nor write. Yet, they are alive to take the $31 draft each month. I will soon report -- this abuse of my consumer rights and consumer trust-- to the proper authorities. I am hoping, before I take that stringent action, I will hear from them.

These guys are a real piece of work !! They only want those who toe the Bidet / Come Holla mark and no Trump folks like myself. I started a group at their suggestion with the word "Patriot" in it and it was geared towards the Conservative viewpoint.The folks at Nextdoor didn't like my Conservative views and disabled my account.However they left the liberal poster who made all sorts of outrageous posts to the group on their site . Talk about bias. I should have been smarter they are based in San Fran and are part of the Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters ilk. Nice "honest" folks!!! Stay as far away from these liberal clowns as you can.

This website allows unkind and judgmental postings of the far left on controversial subjects, but if a conservative reacts with comments to that posting then they are admonished and forbidden back into the site until signing a pledge to "be kind, not judgmental, in your conversations." They will admonish and blacklist you by taking the word of troublemakers and criminals without trying to get to the truth of the matter by giving you a chance to respond to their accusations. I find this website to be very biased and poorly run. If I could rate it less than one, I would.
