Their stated purpose is not served..
June 18, 2020
A website for neighbors has gotta have room for negativity and members just want fluff. That's what facebook is for. There are a lot of legal, safety, and ethics issues right now trickling down to the little towns, and we need help, discussion, and answers. This website is not the place.

Tried to open a private folder.
June 14, 2020
I was on Nextdoor for a number of years but never used it much, however, about two months ago I logged in just to see what was going on and got a warning from AVG that “This site is trying to read your file “Tax Returns” do you wish to let it? To say the least I said no and got off of my local Nextdoor never to go back!

I had no idea this might be a problem with Nextdoor. Thank you.

NextDoor should not censor informational conversation
May 26, 2020

NextDoor censors - they don't allow conversations to happen - they delete them. That is a terrible way to treat people. Everyone should have the right to say what's on their mind.

Specifically, I said I was missing a whole conversation about how to boost our immune system during this covid-19 time. I know that China and S Korea have successfully treated patients with high-dose IV Vit C. I know my doctor has stopped covid-19 symptoms in people with Viraclear. I know a doctor in NYC has treated people with glutathione. I know of many ways to boost the immune system. That post was pulled.

Then I posted info about the 9-part Vaccine series currently running that was explaining that vaccines are not effective or safe. That post was attacked. Then I was told that I would be banned if I wrote anymore about it.

Well - that info is life-saving. People cannot blindly trust vaccines. They have too much foreign stuff in them that sickens, injures and kills. Bill Gates' vaccines do not have a good history anywhere in the world. They're a ticket to extermination, basically, and we need to be able to say this.

Joseph Lee June 19, 2020

Far-left website. If your idea differs in the slightest, you get kicked out of the discussion.

Not for good neighborhoods
May 19, 2020
Just a lot of bullying and childish behavior. just like a mini fakebook site. nothing obviously is being monitored.

Joseph Lee June 19, 2020

Well stated. That has been my experience also.

LauraFester January 01, 2021

Selective censorship in full display!

CindyEdge March 02, 2021

Ours is being heavily moderated, with conservatives being suspended and liberals being allowed to be as hateful as they want.

Leftist organization
May 10, 2020
They use their platform to regulate content which does not agree with their leftist agenda. Speak out against it you are censored. Terrible company.

Jack June 15, 2020

Totally agree this is a solidly leftist organization with an agenda. User beware.

Joseph Lee June 19, 2020

If you're not a radical lefty, expect to be bullied, slandered, and then kicked out of discussions for politely stating opposing ideas.

CindyEdge March 02, 2021

Yep. Same experience. I don't know if it depends on the neighborhood you live in, or just the website itself. If your local moderators tend to be leftists you are going to find a lot of censorship and bias going on. It's kind of what their specialty is right now.

MORE LEFTY BIAS
May 1, 2020
This site is biased and they want biased "leads"...people in my neighborhood regularly use the site as another means to bash Trump and no-one complains...why??...because it is NOT Republicans that attack free speech...it is the Demonocrats...this site is based in beautiful syringe and human feces infested SAN FRANCISCO!!...well, what a surprise!!...and...the CEO of Nextdoor, a Niriv Tolia, was convicted of HIT AND RUN in 2014...what a guy!!...I don't curse, degrade anyone, mock anyone, etc...but as soon as I DEFEND THE POTUS, THAT WE, THE PEOPLE ELECTED...I am purged from the site for 30 days!!...the lefties piss and moan to the "site police" and I AM THROWN OFF...this is the third (and last) time...on May 14th when I will be allowed back on, (if I keep my mouth shut and let the others disparage my President)...on May 15 I have a letter written to all my neighbors to copy and paste to the website that I am certain WILL GET ME BANNED FOR LIFE!!...so be it...jerks...

Lee Teague May 10, 2020

I agree same experience with Nextdoor. They seem to apply their policies one sidedly. If you do not follow their leftist agenda then you are banned. If you are attacked and reply back - you are banned not the attackers.

Jack June 15, 2020

Extremely one sidedly. It's kind of creepy that they are creating a spy network in all communities.

Joseph Lee June 19, 2020

Wow, it is amazing reading other people's posts and comments. Lee Teague described my exact repeated experience, "They seem to apply their policies one sidedly. If you do not follow their leftist agenda then you are banned. If you are attacked and reply back - you are banned not the attackers."

CindyEdge March 02, 2021

It's because leftists view any speech they hate as hate speech. They have no tolerance for differing opinions. I find the website useful for practical purposes, like learning about break-ins or Internet outages. But it's completely intolerable because of the political bias that's allowed.

Once again conservatives need to start their own platform.

100% One Sided...These ND groups are exactly that...groups and if u don't fit in or agree then u r out
April 27, 2020

had a personal and a business acct......posted in general sec my companies willingness to help and a member who is a ND lead responded she didn't like my approach and for about 8 hrs trolled me slandered my company, my name and then reposted post I'd removed and would not stop no matter how many times i asked her to. she then email me the next day via our company with accusations and worst,,,,,,I changed my profile name after she posted photos of myself and my wife who is not on ND and her place of employment....Then ND disabled my account for name change policy. We then removed the business from the site and asked for a refund of ad cost we had paid in advance and so far nothing..........One sided is a nice way to put it..........So at the top of this page where it says REPUTATION......All TOTAL BS

Reputation

Unfortunately there are some negative complaints about this website online. However, none of these complaints appear to be about the security of this website or the lack of privacy measures, which is often what most people are concerned about when sharing details of their home life...................Total BS

One sided

Nextdoor has been great!
April 10, 2020
In my area this is a great site. We have been able to get reviews and help in finding local businesses with personal reviews. We have found our plumber, HVAC company, restaurants, and other services. Today during COVID 19 a neighbor fixed my lawn mower...for free. Another neighbor made masks for us. As with anything, fraud can happen. Do your due diligence.

Tom April 24, 2020

I recently have tuned into Nextdoor in my neighborhood and it sure seems to have a slant towards one side of the political spectrum. It is NOT a place for open discussion with viewpoints allowed from both sides of an issue (covid-19)....very disappointing....:(

I am so angry
April 3, 2020
While the app itself is great, after 8 loyal years, these people deactivated my account because they said I wasn’t using my real name! I am so pissed off! How rude! They said some of my neighbors said they didn’t know an Audrey A****Yeah right!! They could have written me, called me, anything

Left wing Communist Chinese social credit type org.
March 24, 2020
Absolutely the worst social media site ever. Owned and run by lefty, San Francisco Socialists. They pit neighbor against neighbor and use the same type tactics the Nazi's used in Germany during WW2 and more recently by the Stazi in East Germany. Using neighbors as "leads"(informants.. that's right Chris Colleran, the lead Next Door rat in Bristow, Va.) to report neighbors, all the while stealing your personal info for resale and use by 3rd parties. Screw you Next Door , never again will we use your garbage site. Take it to the Communist Chinese Party in China, you both have much in common.This site sucks out loud, avoid it at all costs. You've been warned!

Why do they provide it free?
February 29, 2020

We live in a small rural village. We have someone who organises a community email group which everyone has joined and enables us to post messages about lost dogs, church services etc.it works well. If we need anything changed we contact him.

I tried out next door and without asking was connected to 6 other nextdoor communities.

And ND wanted access to my contacts and wanted my neighbours email addresses which would be a breach of privacy to provide without their permission.

I was struck by the amount of nebulous spam and comment on the network. Our private data and posts would then be shared with people we don't know which could include the local burglar.

But there has to be a reason why Next Door provides this expensive service at no cost. They want to build a database of everyone's address, contact details, next of kin, likes etc and ship it off to California for commercial purposes. Next thing is they will sell to Amazon or another huge company.

Save the risk and set up a proper community group by email which everyone can easily manage

Populist garbage
February 19, 2020
Its fine for ppl to subtly insult shame or even slander but when you do it with a pair of testicle be prepared for a ban.

NEXTDOOR DOES NOT OVERSEE POSTS
February 13, 2020

There are suppose to be "Leads" for each neighborhood that oversees the posts.

In my last Nextdoor community there were a number of conscientious Leads that did a great job.

In my current Nextdoor community there are literally no Leads attending to the posts. There are people who have obviously false names denigrating and trolling others. When I sent a message to the "Lead" a month ago about my concern, no response.

I no longer feel safe using Nextdoor. If you use it, be careful what you disclose about yourself as some people on it are not identifying who they are and are up to no good.

LWSims October 11, 2022

You can report Leads who aren't doing their job. Nextdoor has increased the responsibilities of Volunteer Leads over the years, Report anyone who is not using their real name. Report those with more than one account in different neighborhoods. ND has added many protections over the years, but members have a responsibility to remain informed about changes if they want to get the most benefit from ND.

terrible
February 7, 2020
you can never talk to a person and you get scams to login to different websites that are not next door i feel its not safe

Hagerstown MD
January 19, 2020

I am in Hagerstown MD on next door. Not only is the mayor show signs of bullying and aggression on next door and other platforms, but so do other residents when you point out facts in contrary to what they want to shove down your throat.

They are a giant bunch of entitled, white privileged individuals. If you point out facts when they are wrong, they have you blocked, effectively silencing you and revoking your first amendment right to free speech.

I am white myself, and don’t believe in, nor condone the actions of a fair amount of my current neighbors. I am blown away by the treatment you get by a lot of the residents here, as it is not neighborly, or American at all. Next door in other areas may be ok, but I wouldn’t get it here, nor would I want to live here. Stay away from Nextdoor in this area, as well as stay away from Hagerstown MD,

Invades privacy. I did not finish signing up but it set up an acct anyway!
January 9, 2020

I tried to sign my parents up for this, but it wanted to have my list of email contacts. That's ridiculous so I threw away the application. Now a year later they send me an email as if my parents, who don't even live there anymore, have an account!

I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS BEFORE YOU START THE SIGN-UP PROCESS. DON'T DO IT.

Huge disappointment
January 3, 2020

So many complaints not sure where to begin. First, this site is not monitored by anyone. It was originally meant as a neighborhood site to welcome new neighbors, give recommendations on restaurants, businesses, etc. Now it is nothing more than a battle zone where everyone is busy putting down others opinions and battling it out publicly.

Secondly, certain topics such as politics, marijuana or any other controversial subjects should be banned. There are always conflicts when those topics are discussed that create a lot of hostility.

When Nextdoor decides to kick a member off the site, they should give a warning rather than just kick someone off with no notice or even an email after the fact explaining why or for how long. The whole site, in my opinion, is a huge joke filled with nothing but childish adults who feel the need to be right or better than the next guy.

Ring neighborhood alert
January 3, 2020

There are way to many "neighbors" that seem to use this venue to insult, humiliate, and embarrass anyone for posting something they deem a waste of time, stupid, etc. I posted once and never again.These neighbors are not in the least bit interested in alerting anyone except to let the neighbourhood know what tasteless bores they are.I thought this app was going to really help fight crime, suspicious activity, lost pets etc. But these bores can't handle that at all. No it must be their way so they insult and intimidate everyone. Of course there is no way to block them or report their nasty comments.

ilene January 03, 2020

You can report their nasty comments and hell will freeze before the site does anything unless they are a repeat offender. The site has become a complete joke filled with hostile people who just want to belittle others

ElizabethMiller January 04, 2020

Yes unfortunately.

Beware of these information thieves
December 29, 2019
They will refuse to delete your personal information when requested. This country desperately needs federal internet privacy and data protection laws.

CaryOpteris January 09, 2020

Even if you realize they want to steal all your contacts and you abort instead of completing the application, it's too late!
