I've been trying to get rid of some stuff at our house and hated the idea of doing a tag sale. We've done them before but it's such a waste of time and effort for little return. So, when I posted an offer for an item and received 6 very interested replies in less than 30 minutes. I'm hooked and will not go through our entire house to see what we can part with while trying to downsize and simplify.

I've also recommended plumbers and an electrician. Folks on the site are thoughtful in their responses. And, like a good neighbor, I'd like to help others with their needs took. Thanks Nextdoor!

I am an active user on Nextdoor. I was updating my info and somehow I messed up my last name. I received an email from Nextdoor saying I violated their guidelines and they deactivated my account. I immediately replied with my correct spelling of my last name and nothing. Still locked out of my account. I've contacted them about fixing it and nothing. Why resort to deactivating my account? Why not tell me I need to fix it within 24 hours or it will be deactivated? Especially if they don't do anything when I give them the info so they can fix it. What a joke.

I posted a message at Nextdoor and immediately I received a very nasty and offensive comment, next day I closed my account and still I received an email from the lead of my neighborhood asking me to call her. I called her because I never thought I was going to be treated so aggressively with such disrespect, she even hung up without let me say a word or let me defend myself. I don't know who selects the leaders but they must be more careful with the people they select. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS SITE TO ANYBODY. NEXTDOOR IS A NASTY PLACE WITH OFFENSIVE NEIGHBORS AND DISRESPECTFUL DICTATORS AS LEADERS.

Be forewarned. Nextdoor is where you will find out just how nasty your neighbors really are. Though the site makes claims that comments must be civil and neighborly, the reality is the online fighting and nastiness goes on unchecked and is basically condoned by the joke that is Nextdoor Support.
My advice? Use a fake name and be sure and hide your address, because joining Nextdoor is basically joining a site where bullies and nuts abound.

Nextdoor.com seemed like a good idea for people in the community to share events, concerns and fellowship. In the last few months, the site has become a political forum. Discussion will eventually become disagreements, which will result in a hostile community. I am discontinuing my membership before cliques and factions start to develop in my neighborhood.

Never needed it in the past, don't need it now. What ever happened to taking a walk in your community, to get to know your neighbors.

Seriously this site is useless. Maybe you can see who's cat is missing, useful no doubt. But they sent out invitational marketing postcards for the site in the mail to my neighbors asking them to sign up without my knowledge or permission. My neighbor is an elderly woman well she's not a nice person, she drinks at 8am then obsesses about stray cats $#*!ting in her flower bed. She has my phone number and drunk dials me. Now she's obsessing about the postcard she got from me. Seriously it sucks.

I signed up for Nextdoor at the invite of a neighbor just recently. I posted 1, that's it, 1 post and received so much negativity about a measure that would prevent endangered animal parts from being sold in our state. I guess Oregon is still full of rednecks, even with all the Californians pouring in! Good grief! Just getting word out about something soooo many people have heard nothing about. That'll teach me! I deactivated my account today. Not worth the headaches from juvenile adults! Cyberbullying is alive and well in the Portland metro area.

NextDoor has become a hub for trolls and cyberbullies. All I did was post a recommendation for a charitable organization I had had a good experience with... I got some follow up questions, to which I tried to answer to the best of my ability. Then someone in an adjacent neighborhood pipes in and says "c'mon folks... it's easy to look this stuff up" - and proceeds to cite some 'facts' (not sure they're even true) ripping my recommendation apart. I got defensive in my reply back, and *I* get flagged for it, but she doesn't get reprimanded for her original snarky comment. So I'm done with NextDoor; not worth the time and effort and aggravation.

They give so much power to a neighborhood "Lead" who is nothing more than the 1st person to join! 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 neighborhood but we have 140 lots 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 the dead person neighborhood!

From a customer service POV, NEXTDOOR has FAILED. After repeated attempt to get an account established and having their system FAIL, I sent them this message: "The simple thing to do was for YOU to fix the problem that exists WITH YOUR SYSTEM... And NOT make me jump thru 27 hoops to get YOUR FAILED SYSTEM to work. You ask for an unreasonable amount of personal data just for me to get access to a system that may be of no value to me whatsoever. You could have simply verified my account from your end and allowed me access. I am DONE with fighting your system. If at some point my community feels the need for me to be on this system I may reconsider. As of now, I can not possibly recommend your system to anyone. It appears to be more of a scam to collect a large amount personal data."

When I first it was a great site and still is only less so. It was a good place to find out what's going on in the neighborhood, especially the crime. But then you get one or two people who take over the site with their "crusade" and won't let go. I got tired of reading about the same issues every single day. Nextdoor used to have a block feature but that went away quickly for some reason. Just getting tired of people complaining about city government and actually doing nothing about it.

I was one of the 1st users of Nextdoor, and thought it was a great way to connect with neighbors. But I also didn't feel comfortable using my full name. I also liked that it allowed people to give away free services/goods to each other.

But all that has changed since the introduction of the "Neighborhood Leads", which are just basically power-hungry $#*!s that love to delete posts and accounts willy-nilly for "self-promotion" or "not having a name that sounds like a person I know" or "giving away services and not paying into our stupid small businesses platform".

$#*! this platform. I will tell everyone I know to avoid it. It's just a bunch of complainers and racists anyway.
