I'm a lead
Actually the leads are crapped on quite a bit. Nextdoor does not take action in quite a few instances that would make logic sense. They've had a bug out for over 3 weeks now and its not fixed. There are some bad leads. Getting Nextdoor to fix the problem and perm ban those who abuse volunteer leads is a problem. The rules haven't been modified for the new "interest" groups, that they have been promising for ?2 years? at least, I think. Businesses are allowed to do anything they want because ND wants the money. There are ways to fix the issues, but Nextdoor doesn't want to do anything about it.
Bottom line: when leadership is bad then you get the leads problems discussed about here. You'll see good leads back off and not bother. Then it turns into the lost dog/cat, needing recommendations vs. reading what is already out there but you're too lazy to look for it or ask how to look for it forums that people don't involve themselves in.
Biased Censorship
Nextdoor Follows Facebook's Censorship Policy
New to Nextdoor, found out they are a progressive site that caters to progressive theology of Politically Correct BS..
There is room for competition for any Fair Neighborhood site that will not Discriminate and Censor...
Nextdoor is just another liberal mouthpiece
I'm a member of a NextDoor in Florida. You are absolutely correct. They are Leftists.... Run by Leftists...and we Conservatives are treated the same way the Left ALWAYS treats us. They are allowed to say whatever they want, no matter how offensive, and we get locked out of our accounts.This is my second time being locked out...this time for a MONTH. When I go back I am disabling my account. We already have Jack and Zuckerberg....we dont need this. If the site didnt cater, so blatantly, to Leftists it would've been an excellent site. Unfortunately, like all things Leftists touch, it's a hostile environment.
Lead invading people's privacy.
It is for utopians afraid to discuss anything controversial, even when negative comments have merit.
They will jerk your post and their is no recourse. They say you can take a complaint up the "chain of command" but it does not work that way. It is un-American. Posts must be warm and fuzzy otherwise forget it.
Easy to spoof a fake name and address on Nextdoor. Consequently, as on any social media site, you should post as if assorted 'bad people' who aren't even your neighbors could be watching. Don't discuss vacation plans, etc. Kudos to your lead for making sure your 'neighbors' are actually your neighbors.
NEXTDOOR.com Promotes illegal Contractors
Thanks for this review. It is informative, helping the consumer understand the need and benefits of hiring someone with a contractor's license. especially at Nextdoor.com.
Selective censorship run amuck
Nextdoor does not really vet its Leads. So, a Lead can be really irresponsible or completely overweening in his or her "will to power." It's also the participants and neighbors who can be the same. A majority can sink a Lead with negative feedback, even if the Lead is doing everything right. Or a majority of participants can let a corrupt Lead continue leading so long as the majority doesn't care.
Nextdoor is not a "Private Social Network"
Nextdoor should NOT be described as a "Private Social Network" as this is not only misleading, but also factually incorrect.
Nextdoor automatically connects you with everyone in your neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods (by default) which is a massive invasion of your privacy. Your profile (image, name, street address), posts, interests and reviews are essentially exposed to thousands of people when you use the platform. I think this and this is why so few people post and comment.
True social networks like Facebook or LinkedIn have a mutual connection model that allows you to create your own network, and control who sees your information and content.
Nextdoor has changed their privacy standards in recent years. They no longer show addresses. You can choose to not upload your photo. You can choose to not show your last name. You can choose to not connect with nearby neighborhoods. Read their rules and Guidelines to remain informed about changes.
LOL nextdoor LOL
Sounds about right...thanks for your sense of humor
Nextdoor supports censorship and blocking posts
nextdoor corruption does not treat all the same they pick and choose they kick me off for running an ad they say it was because someone reported me. then they let me back and many other are running ads and no problem a lead on nextdoor tells me report them i did nothing happened.then I find out the leads are the only ones kicking people off and the leads are one of your neighbors so if you live in an H.O.A your screwed. So my take is hate your neighbor do on to him or her before they do thats what nextdoor has to offer.
Thank you very much for your comments. I agree with you 100%. Nextdoor censorship is extremely subjective and inconsistent. My neighbor claimed I was ranting in violation of Nextdoor's guidelines. Define the difference between rants and passing along valuable information. I see others doing the same thing on Nextdoor but they are not taken down. Like you said, I will begin to apply the same guidelines to them now about posts I do not like and see how they like it!
I feel your pain, James. Same thing has happened to me -- selective censorship by "Leads", who obviously are following their own agenda! No "help" from Nextdoor!

I feel your pain too, James. I've been tossed out of so many discussions for the most insignificant comments. I wonder whether you would be tossed out for that same post about the police now that there has been so much publicity about brutality by a few bad cops.
Wonder where did they get my E-mail address since I didn't give permission?
This is exactly why I was researching this company and reading reviews. I got an invite in my mailbox. When I tried to sign up, it asked for access to my yahoo contacts before it would complete the process. I am always suspicious of a company that insists on my personal contact list.
I received the invite in the mail. When I tried to sign up, it wanted access to my yahoo contacts, I did not continue. Why did they need my contact list?
I stopped signing up when they wanted my contact list from yahoo.!!!

data
Bingo! As soon as they asked for gmail conacts, it goes in the scam bin!
"Next Door" will only allow leftist leanings within the "News" "Political" categories. If you attempt to leave factual information for others to see -and it conflicts with their Socialist Ideologies - they will eliminate it - and throw you off for writing it! BEWARE OF BIG BROTHER WHO IS A LIBERAL WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING!
What would you expect from a company based in San Francisco? Conservative viewpoints? They probably have ANTIFA members working for them! Hahaha
Nextdoor.com bunch of cry babies
This web site if for a bunch of no life crybabies with nothing better to do than cry about drivers, the local news, and the long line at the golf course. They should rename the site 1-800-CRY-BABY. Seriously, get a life.....bunch of neighbors you would never hang out with in the real world......they live for the anonymity of hiding behind their computers and would never complain about something to someones face because their a bunch of cowards.
Scam To Steal Your Private Data- Snowflake City
POSSIBLY a great resource
Yes, this site scoops up free data, but we knew that. It can still be a great community resource.
How are the roads? Who knows a reliable plumber? Anyone know this dog? Why are the cops here? Private message me if you’re interested in joining our Tuesday play group.
All these are typical posts. Guidelines can be interpreted stringently, meaning conversations may stay shallow, but that’s not a given.
It all depend on the Leads (moderators). Sometimes they can be quite subjective, and they don’t always verify names or addresses, which are SUPPOSED to be supplied honestly. (If you click on map view, bogus addresses can sometimes be spotted easily because they’re in the middle of the street).
All in all, it’s easier these days than a listserv,
>BEWARE WOMEN LIVING ALONE<
This couple advertised themselves as "handimen". I was interested because of the woman involved and I am a widow living all alone. (Most "handimen" are male). The female was very pushy, which should have warned me. It turned out they were only looking for a fast buck. The man had no teeth, which was another warning. Well I learned my lesson, NEVER INVITE PERFECT STRANGERS INTO YOUR HOME! IF IT DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!
Learned The Hard Way
Licensed Contractors are the only way to go. Don't subject yourself to being ripped oof by an unlicensed Contractor regardless of the size of the job. Check CSLB>CA>GOV to verify a license.
Snowflake site
Recently I wrote a post on the Nextdoor.com about Narcan the overdose drug. The post merely asked how many times should you revive an overdosed habitual drug user. I never used a curse word and merely asked the question, “How many times should you revive a habitual drug user? Nobody answered the question and was trolled by every Persistent Debate Trollers on that site, and there’s plenty there. After 2 days Nextdoor.com removed the post and me from the site. I’m thinking if you can’t ask provocative questions on sites like this on matters that plague Pasco County; what good are they?

We are in Chesapeake, VA and I was also bumped for asking questions, no vile behavior from me. My husband and adult son are not allowed to join and they've NEVER used it so there are certainly no violations from them. WHAT power to discriminate!!!!!
Snowflake city
Not Good
This is written from the perspective of a Lead at ND - a former Lead. I was asked to be a Lead for ND last December 12th and I accepted. I'd been on the job for two and a half-months when I was unduluy attacked and cyber-bulied for having mentioned in a comment on a post I didn't create that Agenda 21 was responsible for bike installations suddenly appearing in San Francisco in many different neighborhoods, unasked for and unannounced. Commenters outside my neighborhood attacked me for "conspiracy theory," for being a "racist," for being stupid and ruining NextDoor.com for my single comment. Eight people from different neighborhoods joined in on repeated attacks.
My role as Lead allowed me to delete those comments that went against community guidelines but NextDoor would not allow me to report the individuals responsible for going against the community guidellines because these members were outside my neighborhood, thus giiving ND members outside my neighborhood the license to "bomb" me over and over again, trying to incite conflict, create public shaming and harassment -- with no protecttion offered by ND on this.
In fact, in order to obtain assistance from a specialist at ND, you have to email a specialist who takes up to 48 hours to respond. Based on my experience, the advice these specialists offer amounts to nil. One specialist named Chester actually wrote that all you can do as a Lead is to remind people of the guidelines, but "they usually resent you for reminding them." That's it? No help? Right -- no help!
I deleted my account yesterday when I discovered ND uses Leads as slaves to assist them with the management of the platform, offering, of course, no pay, but no protection as well. Roman slaves had no protection. Early Colonial Period slaves also had no protection. Nothing has changed in the age of technology concerning NextDoor.com.
As for being a regular member and commenter, unless you want to chat mindlessly about your love of dogs and cats, brag about your endless volunteerism for the community, or want to behave like a common thug and attack and bully for your own pleasure, there's very little for the normal human being at NextDoor.com. It should shut itself down, but it's too stupid to know this.
I gave names of the cyber-bullies to ND specialists. No one at ND acknowledged the names nor any intention of doing anything about the members who are deliberately non-compliant with ND's community guidelines.
NextDoor. com is only for a nest of vipers.
Thank You for writing that! YES, I totally agree "NextDoor.com is only for a nest of vipers." They have the power to close you down if you open topics to discuss and expand your brain cells, other than discussing how perfect they think they are. My husband and adult son wanted and tried many times to join ND and were rejected for NO reason as they've both NEVER used ND before, EVER. When someone has that kind of power to pick and choose who can and can not use the site, it's time to shut it down.
Charles, I would like to talk to you more,is that possible, more in private?
Nice work exposing the site for what they are.
Nextdoor asks for access to my contacts? Why?
I was wondering about that as well. I stopped going forward with this because of that.
At least you acts as a lead. The lead in my community is absentee and has no interest in doing a thing.
I did a ton for them, and not only got no common sense/logic help (new Support people haven't followed guidelines and I finally said something about how bad it was they didn't know the rules) but quit bothering doing a lot of checking. Now the forum is not what it used to be. Their own fault. Don't listen, because all they care about is the data mining from the millions of dollars they got.
I did, quite a bit. Then after the lack of support from Nextdoor, the back biting from neighbors, they now get more petty fights breaking out, more lost dog/cat that many don't look at. I've been told the business postings and the lost dog/cat are big ones for chasing people away. People refuse to look and see if there is a recommendation before they ask for one. The feed is then useless for many. Sort of feeds on where people don't want to bother unless they ask for something and then go. Sad.
