Some of the greatest emotional pain I have ever suffered occurred as a result of my membership in Nextdoor. I'm 90 years old, caregiver for my 92 year old husband....a nuclear physicist with Alzheimer's Disease. My window to the outside world is on a miniature Facebook forum in Desert Shores and environs in Las Vegas, called Nextdoor. My aim was to get to know neighbors, learn new things, and find ways to help animals. Inadvertently, I got trapped into a feud with a younger member. I have become her punching bag and have tried everything to stop her. she has called me a senile old crone, accused me of using my age to get sympathy. Her attacks are making me

so I'll we had to call 912 to help me breathe, last week Nobody can stand her hHow do I get out?

I received an invitation to join, purportedly sent btmy elderly neighbour. He is not the 'lead contact' for this area, he's not signed up to the app and knows absolutely nothing about it. He certainly had not given his permission for them to use his name in this way. After posting on a social media local group I've found that at least one other person in my area has also had his name used in this way. Very deceitful & unacceptable way for a company to do business. I shan't be taking up their 'invitation'.

Individuals have used next door to bully, shame and organize against a neighbor. The area is a dense apartment area in Los Gatos. The individual works with a feral cat rescue organization which feeds, traps, and spays cats that apartment owners often leave behind when they move. Her "neighbors" have decided to gang up against her. Next Door irresponsibly allowed the publishing of her picture and address. The "neighbors" have used ND to organize and meet to plan their strategy against this woman. She is widowed, elderly living alone and is now feeling very threatened. The "lead" for the neighborhood has received complaints regarding these posts, but they have failed to take the post down. They did finally remove her picture and personal information regarding her personal situation. Have refused to remove her address.

Look who controls this company. Someone is making big bucks off of this inspite of the terrible reviews they get on the Better Business Bureau Site. 38 out or 44 reviews were "Negative" from verified users:

Check it out for yourself.

There is a registered sex offender in my friends neighborhood. It was a victimless crime 20 years ago. The guy keeps to himself and never bothered anybody. Nextdoor.com comes into the neighborhood and all of sudden this guy's name is all they talk about. He asked them many times very nicely to stop. It got worse. So now, every time someone lists their property for sale this guy sends a registered letter to the Realtor putting them on notice he lives there. The Realtor is required by law to disclose that to potential buyers. Now people can't sell their property. Ironically, there is a woman who served a lot of time in prison who lives there but no one knows it because there is no "Murder Registery" anywhere. So..... "Don't shoot yourself in the foot"..

After receiving a postcard invitation, which was unsolicited, I signed up. A few weeks later, their micromanager sent me a letter that another (anonymous) member said my name was not real so I needed to send my drivers license, passport, or utility bills, to prove my identity, and then they immediately blocked my account.

So anyone can say whatever they want and it's accepted as truthful. And Nextdoor will demand proof and ID of the singled out party but not of all of its members. It's not anywhere in its MemberPolicy that it's a requirement. The postcard suffices.

I have discussed this with my attorneys and am looking into filing suit preliminarily based on defamation.

I love Nextdoor. Thanks to Nextdoor, I know who the racists are in my neighborhood. I also know who has enough time on their hands to report all the "suspicious" people that happen to walk past their house during the course of the day. I never knew there were that many paranoid people living in such close proximity. If you report posts for racial profiling, which is strictly prohibited according to Nextdoor guidelines, the poster is notified. This does nothing but rally the racists who then like to gang up on the minority of nonracists. Thanks to Nextdoor, I also know which households "have a gun and aren't afraid to use it". I can't thank Nextdoor enough for empowering paranoid, gun toting racist with nothing better to do then stare out the window all day. If you are afraid of any person that happens to be in your neighborhood that does not have the same skin tone as you, this is the app for you.

I live in Bakersfield California and my wife and I became members about 6 months ago. I have found Nextdoor to be a wealth of community and big and small business information. You can buy /sell or give away almost anything a person could have.It has helped us find our animals and its another unique resource in the neighborhoods search for help in crime.I look at Nextdoor far more than I look at any other site.Of course there are people and information that is not helpful but I just scroll past what I am not interested in.There are always going to be morons that say things,period. I love that people use real names and live in our community. Thank you Nextdoor!

This all started with a woman who posted about being harassed by a neighbor. He called the cops because she parked her car at her kid's bus stop. I couldn't help but get emotional because of what happened to me years ago. When I was in grade school, 3 mornings in a row, a strange guy was standing near our bus stop. I remember coming home from school and telling my Mom about it. Little did I know about how much danger we were in. It was clear this guy was up to no good. Thank God nothing happened to any of us. Maybe it was because were quiet and stuck together. Or maybe a neighbor was watching. I realized how important this is, so I knew in my heart what I had to do! I posted it on the Nextdoor site. I applauded this woman for being at her kid's bus stop. It made them all safe! People responded to me with overwhelming support! Including a police officer! In fact, one woman even felt bad about what I went through. I thanked everyone and all was good. Weeks went buy. And then out of the blue, I get Nextdoor's letter. The said they were investigating me about the "bus stop" post. They claimed it may be offensive! What? You got to be kidding me! I DID NOTHING WRONG! I BLEW UP! I got on their site and wrote a scathing letter back. I bleep out all swear words so there was no actual cussing. Then I told them they can put their bogus site right where the sun doesn't shine! They wrote back whining about my hurtful statement and that this too will be investigated. Well they got a lot of nerve when they were the ones who attacked me first! I had to endure investigations from a prior job and I'll be d(bleep) if I'm going to put up with it from these people! They're NOT my employer! They are also nothing but a lost cause! So I deleted my membership! These clowns can investigate me all they want. But it will do NO good because I'm no longer a member. And I will NEVER BE AGAIN!

It has been my pleasure to have Billy Moore as my handyman for the last eight plus years.

Billy Moore is a polite, genial gentlemen who cares about the quality of his workmanship.

He's built fence sections, installed light fixtures, and a dishwasher. He's trimmed trees. Billy Moore has helped me keep my home in good repair. He leaves the work area as clean (or cleaner) as when the project began.

I highly recommend Billy Moore if you're looking for someone to do quality home repairs.

A Satisfied Customer

They give so much power to a neighborhood "Lead" who is nothing more than the 1st person to join! I've recruited many more people than her. My neighborhood has a Homeowners Association (HOA) but the Lead started the Nextdoor "neighborhood" with multiple areas & HOAs. I could understand if we had a small community but we have 140 parcels which is more than the Nextdoor minimum! But our lead has "Blackballed" our request for our own neighborhood like an '80s fraternity! To make matters worse the "Lead" named our geographical neighborhood after the nearby cemetery. Try getting your neighbors to join an app & tell them they belong to a neighborhood of those who passed.

I know our lead personally -- she is semi-insane. She will instigate controversial issues (and even lie about other people) on the site, just so she can later become the central figure resolving it. If you contradict her in any way, she vindictively will delete your account.

We are so thankful for nextdoor.com Our two large black dogs accidentally got out of our gate. We looked for them until 3am on a Saturday night and then all day long on Sunday. One woman walking her dog recommended nextdoor.com and we created an account. The first thing we saw was a post about our dogs being spotted. We got an idea about where to look for them from the last place they were spotted and we drove to that area with a favorite squeaky toy. within 10 minutes a good neighbor heard the toy and chased us down and told us where we could find them. Another neighbor had taken them into their home for their protection. We feel so blessed to have been reunited with our boys and thankful for the wonderful neighbors who worked together to rescue our boys. Thanks so much to nextdoor.com we may have never seen our boys again as their chip was not found by a vet they were taken to.

Nextdoor.com is a great way to connect with your neighbors -- find out where the car break-ins are happening, who's having a garage sale, what that construction on Terasita is about.

However, like any unmoderated group, there's a strong "crotchety" vibe (like that review up above! wow!). Best to use the site for the good things, mute and report the meanies, and try to elevate the conversation a bit.

I am a community leader and joined Nextdoor to keep my community abreast of current issues and events and have always provided facts. Any of my posts that disputed certain member's unsupported claims or innuendo were flagged or deleted and when I reached a following of approximately 100 people, my account was deleted by Nextdoor as they stated my posts were dominating the site or were controversial.

While the site is great for sharing information, anyone disputing erroneous information and providing facts and challenging anyone in a manner that is deemed by the censors, which they call leads, to be contrary to what they feel is acceptable to them, at their discretion, can be deleted at anytime, as was my account. I hold several state licenses and am a degreed professional that has always provided facts along with my statements and the site is ridden with Narcissistic, ego tripping socialists that expect everything to go their way.

I'm not referring to foul language, strictly controversial topics As an example, I mentioned that there were unlicensed people cutting hair in the community and my posts were flagged as I was being "negative".
