Horrible
September 12, 2018

I posted about someone tampering with my property and was brutally attacked by several people. I'm ashamed to call these people my neighbors. If you value your sanity and serenity, stay away

Hateful
September 11, 2018

If you join, you will be thrown out of the network because you might defend yourself from abuse. So much for neighbors. The "monitors" love power over content without fact checking... just like our current US leadership. Don't waste your hope or time.

E-Mobbing
September 10, 2018

Funnily enough I got a letter (as in on paper) asking me to use this app. I did when I first moved to my neighborhood since I thought it was a pretty cool premise: check in or chat with neighbors without being the creepy person who goes house to house with jello molds to get a feel of who may be a good friend or not. (I kind of miss those days...)

The app is great for those who are in a good neighborhood or who have established friends that happen to live close by. But if you are a fish out of water, join at your own risk. The cliques in my neighborhood make high school seem tame and if you are a new person with ideas or even just input that changes those cliques' mindsets, consider yourself dead in the app. They bully you into silence, and if they know the admin of that area's Nextdoor app, you might as well uninstall anyway since they will complain to them until they kick you.

Stay Away
September 7, 2018

We signed up for Nextdoor and immediatlely we started getting all kinds of Spam and unwanted emails. We tried to unsubscribe but to no avail. Do not use this app or site. They report your personal information to other members without your permission. There is no accountablity and no response when abuse is reported other than to kick you off their network.

Nextdoor Is Evil
September 3, 2018
Updated review

I complained to Nextdoor after a single user claimed that I don't exist, so they reinstated my suspended account. This was after I posted a notice regarding outright lies being told by another user, who is probably the Nextdoor Lead. So I haven't posted anything since I was reinstated only to find out that I was suspended again because a second user says I don't exist. What was their motivation? This is BS.

Nextdoor sucks. The anonymous Leads decide which voices are heard on Nextdoor. If they don't like what you have to say they just claim that you are using a fake name and you are suspended without any warning. Then Nextdoor wants your ID faxed to them when you complain. Many government agencies use Nextdoor to alert citizens to road closures and emergencies. Now I don't get these notices. Nextdoor will fit in well with the Trump regime, since they decide what is Fake News.

Lead Only Allows the Voices They Want to Hear
August 25, 2018
Previous review

I was recently suspended from Nextdoor without any advance notice. Now they want a photo ID to reinstate my account. My lawyer said not to send them anything. The Lead on my neighborhood site said that some anonymous neighbors claimed that I don't exist, even though I have been on Nextdoor for over three years since they verified my account. Frankly, this is bullshit. Nextdoor members have engaged in racial profiling in the past, and now they are silencing the voices they don't want to hear.

Got banned for opposing views without warning or notice. Tried to contact support and got nothing but automated responses with no resolution. What an awful experience. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who experienced this bias. This app should be banned from Google Play.

Agree with all the other reviews found. Speak your mind - and get booted off!

Administration is a bunch of losers who don't care what the situation is - they just care that someone complained and now you're outta there!

Can we say 'trump country'?

Hurtful and Hateful
August 30, 2018

(Modified 2nd review) I have contacted the "Nextdoor" App and their Website Customer Service. I Told them I was be bullied by a "Lead" multiple times for my post and comments made on the site. I provided Proof at well. They have NOT SHOWN ANY COMPASSION OR DELETED the "LEAD" for Bulling or breaking their "Own" community Guidelines! I tried to post about sharing signs to boost moral by making signs that read, We support our Police, Fire, EMS and had our "City Logo" bc I made them, had them shipped I paid over 20.00 a sign. I asked if anyone wanted one I would be grateful for a donation to help with my cost. I was immediately Reported and my post was removed! Sadly many wanted the signs I found out after when I tried to post a question of why I was targeted?. I was shut down for "Fundraising " and "Soap Boxing". How is it fundraising if you cant make a profit? I have reached out to my lead and she will not respond. Only one lead continues to bully me and reports me and then blames it on the "Site or neighbors" funny now that I got a private message from another Lead that they can see her reporting all my items. Also since I live in a conservative state if you say anything they don't like you are harassed, bullied and- or removed immediately! This site is worse then FB and I have never felt so hurt and alone for a site that is supposed to bring people together!

If you are willing to tow the line with the progressive d-bags, then you are welcome on this site. Post any opposing views, then you are the wrath of the sites leads (admins), who are primarily hormonal, post-menopausal, left-leaning, annoying, "you don't care enough" white women. Too many posts accepted from the OMG! OMG! Crowd. The site sells your email to anyone who comes along, so beware of signing up.

I received an e-mail from the admin stating my account was flagged for not being my real address. I sent a snapshot of my drivers license just showing my name and address. Where do they get there information and how credible is that.

I was trying to promote my CBD business through Nextdoor and a "neighbor" flagged me as selling illegal product. CBD is legal in all 50 states! Doesn't matter. Banned. What a joke. I thought only social media bans at will.

Nextdoor outsources community moderation which ends in disastrous results.
Want to report child abuse that you personally suffered by a private school that wants to purchase property in your community? BANNED!

Nextdoor.com has become a joke. Someone posted they were looking for a male dog to breed their female dog with ASAP because she was in heat. Her reasoning was she just wanted her dog to have puppies. I tried to educate her about the overpopulation of dogs and how many millions are euthanized every year. I was honest, presented verified statistics, and explained why she shouldn't do this.

She reported me multiple times for discrimination, attacking her, and threatening her. None.of this ever happened. Nextdoor.com suspended and refuses to discuss it.

So I was so suspended for trying educate and prevent more unneeded dogs being born. She's still on there bragging about breeding her dog which, by the way, is kept on a crate all the time. She shouldn't even be allowed to have a dog.

Nextdoor shouldn't even allowed to solicit for this kind of breeding but obviously Nextdoor doesn't care what's right.

We currently have a recall of an important member of our city council member Laurett Barrentine.
OUR Nextdoor has moderators that are promoting the recall. They have censored two posts I made just today as "not nice" though they are totally truthful.
I called them out on their corruption, but they just deleted it.
That's what goes on ALL through this app! Censorship censorship censorship!
No voices for the opposing side can even have a voice.
First amendment rights! Ha! That's a joke!
AND, those that moderate cause trouble! And get away with it! Others get banned for the same!
But nothing gets done about it.
Think twice before using this app. I am only using it due to the recall. Otherwise too many idiots!

I called out a fake dependent wife who was scamming to get free furniture when her husband hadn't even left for bootcamp or even became active military. I was harassed by others in the community for calling her out and then my account was limited.
When I explained the situation I am still blocked from posting. Basically they stole my information and they allow people to scam freely on the site.

My account was recently suspended when some local bigots decided to report me for using a nickname after I started pointing out their bigotry on multiple posts. I submitted the requested identification and the customer support has simply just been ignoring me, I opened up another account which was immediately unreachable after the beginning stages if setting it up. After reading a couple more of these negative experiences, I'm inclined to believe the site itself is being run and moderated by bigots as well.
