NextDoor is completely two-faced about their policies. My father is an elderly retired veteran. He posted something several of the "woke" people on the site didn't like. One woman threatened him three times, including bashing his head in if he called the police about the threats. Another woman called him vile names, slandering him. He reported all the woman to NextDoor. Did any of them get suspended? No! My dad tried to quit the site and wanted his data deleted. NextDoor refuses because they say he is on suspension! Him, not the women! NextDoor violates your privacy by forcing you to use your real name and they even put a pin on Google Maps to show where your house is! Not only do they not punish violent threats, but they make it easy for the victim to be found. I am disgusted. If you are an elderly white male, you will be discriminated against on NextDoor. I have screenshots of everything in case I need to go to the police.
NextDoor routinely censors and suspends non-woke people.

Ban Nextdoor.
June 29, 2022

America is based on a set of principles that NextDoor violates
To promote the Woke agenda. Christians and other normal people are banned simply for expressing their beliefs that Freaks and Nextdoor
Cannot tolerate because they can't refute them.

Shove it
June 26, 2022

Shove your rainbow agenda and massive censoring of any type of conservative view. This site is barely good for buying and selling. If it is good for anything it is good for your local neighborhood watch

Additional Nextdoor censorship.
June 24, 2022
Updated review

Another disturbing example of nextdoor censorship, this time seeking to empower a bunch of old ladies with the attitude of "you must not discuss politics or religion, and everything must be 'peaches and cream.' " Please see the attached screenshot for a specific example. The screenshot is large and you'll need to open it up in its own browser tab to be able to read it. Particularly disturbing is nextdoor intentionally not showing, to even you from your own profile, your posts they've "hidden," with the intent of making it impossible for you to access those posts and challenge the "hiding" of those posts. As always, the goal of that censorship is to try to prevent accountability for the rampant government corruption that's infested the U.S. and that is currently hurting people in their everyday lives.

Another disturbing example of nextdoor censorship, this time seeking to favor people who post personal attacks over those posting genuine concerns while deceitfully trying to claim the opposite. Please see the attached screenshot for a specific example. As always, the goal of that censorship is to try to prevent accountability for the rampant government corruption that's infested the U.S.

Another update on Nextdoor.
April 23, 2022
Previous review

The censorship on nextdoor is as pervasive as ever, as shown by the attached screenshot. It appears nextdoor now favors the more deceitful shadow banning tactics instead of the account lock out tactics it was using before. The most disturbing thing about nextdoor's censorship is its pattern of attempted suppression of awareness and exposure of government corruption.

Nextdoor is a social media site whose stated purpose is to connect communities and neighborhoods. Nextdoor goes beyond outright censorship, which is bad enough, and actually commits libel by selectively deleting posts of those it wants to censor, with the intent to create a false impression of the person Nextdoor is censoring, and what that person is seeking to communicate. Below is a documented example of that in action.

Nextdoor is committing ongoing rampant censorship to try to sideline and block awareness of all concerns that don't espouse the leftist communist agenda. This is in direct violation of Nextdoor's commitment to a free
And open platform where everyone can express their concerns. This is especially troubling since those concerns address real life problems for the residents involved which means that Nextdoor is complicit in causing those problems and in preventing accountability for the corrupt government officials who are causing those problems.

At the same time, Nextdoor allows those who espouse the leftist communist agenda to post innuendo and attacks with impunity, prime examples being "... fear in your speculation...," "... Yea, you can speculate science fiction...," "... people-with-extreme-political-views-have-trouble-thinking-about=their-own-thinking...," "... the conspiracy is not as sinister as you have fears...," "... several statements you have made are opinion, not fact...,"... it's the speculative and opinion statements that have eroded your credibility...," "... as I said your rants are speculative truth..." and "... your personal observations are not fact, but hearsay..."

They completely ignore CCPA trying to use a loophole by saying they need to retain you data for "we are unable to comply with your request for deletion of your personal information, as it is necessary for us to maintain this information for reasons that may include maintaining the security of our platform, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, and/or exercising or defending legal claims." They are abusing this, are a horrible company that need to be sued out of existence.

DO NOT TRUST!
June 13, 2022

I was on nextdoor and learned that Nextdoor is owned by an Indian. It's also India that is the source of many highly sophisticated hacks! The hacks often come through as an alert from your bank, something that involves one of your accounts, that has an unusually large charge. "If this isn't your charge please contact us immediately". They want you to contact them, slowly divulge your information, close your account and deposit it in Bitcoin or another account. They look soooooo real! DELETE THEM! Stay off of Nextdoor because it's easy to get details about you. When I tried to warn people in my neighborhood Nextdoor IMMEDIATELY banned me! If it wasn't true they would have argued the accusation.

Free For All
June 13, 2022

So many things went wrong in the first 10 mins of my first post. People laugh reacted at my home being broke into. I was told "not to show my face around town" and I was harassed multiple times for being a woman. In 10 minutes. There is no moderation and no key word ban. I honestly can't believe the developers of this app are okay with the things that go on. I work in UX and this is the first time I have ever written a negative comment like this. Do better - it is obvious things need changed. I was threatened and nothing was done. THREATENED on an APP for NEIGHBORS to help one another. Disgusting.

I signed up, thinking a great way to know what's going on in the neighborhood. Mainly for Problems like B&E's, Vandalism, Jockey Boxing, car theft, etc. It's nothing like that! Overwhelmed by ignorant people, airing all kinds of pointless info.( ie "My neighbors plays his music too loud). If you want to join an online "Sewing Circle" with a bunch of Karen and Todd's griping about F-All. Do yourself a favor and avoid it, you'll hate people even more!

We ordered the development of our online store of delicacies and products from Europe. The development took more than 3 months due to the complexity of the functionality, and the BFG iTECH web-studio team did it perfectly. Satisfied with the cooperation and the site!

Racket
June 8, 2022

This app is a racket. They only want to see posts about hearing gunshots, suspicious people in the community, restaurant complaints, and every other negative 1st world problem you can find. Negativity and hate are encouraged when positivity and sharing community events that being people together are discouraged. When posts are removed for no reason and appealed only to be told they are not in "guidelines" and that they do not like people who "continuously break the rules" is a form of socialism and restriction of our right or freedom of speech. This app has left me speechLESS.

And business owners, doNOT pay for advertising. You will waste money on ads that do not get shown to anyone.

After a few years of being a member i wrote an article stating the fact that on Memorial Day I noticed the lack of American flags being flew and a great number of pride flags being displayed which i thought was sad because people are forgetting why they have the freedom to display them in the first place. This earned me a 3 day ban with no explanation. They seem to allow diragitory statements while mine was an observation

Many post's on who to call for all manner of wildlife to be eradicated, Constant post's about bullying the homeless from city property. Law enforcement are worshiped on this site, police are sacrosanct hero's where you will be attacked and reported if you comment on civil rights violations or lack of response in Uvalde. I was kicked off the site for pointing out the failures of Uvalde. Lot's of blatant racism lots of ring videos posted of "stranger" in neighborhood invariably they are black and actually live in the neighborhood. Lots of conspiracy theories and misinformation that some of the mods agree with it so they dont apply the rules. The place is kind of like taking a step back into mindset of the 1960's

I had enjoyed Nextdoor for a few years but what they've done to me recently is completely unprofessional and lacking any integrity. The short version is, my account is suspended for 30 days for "violating community guidelines". I emailed them asking what I said that was a problem. I got a reply that showed me the comments and dates I made them. ALL 3 of the comments were in defense of the person who posted their misfortune, I was showing support and sympathy for them. One lady posted that her car was broken into by thieves, I commented something like "thieves are losers".
Another show of support for someone who was victimized by criminal activity, her bike was stolen, I commented "thieves are too stupid to get a job"
And the 3rd comment I made Was on a lady's post about a guy breaking car windows on her street.
I said something like "what a scumbag vandal" to do that. So NONE of the 3 comments were about other users in Nextdoor but rather about criminals who victimized them. I brought that to the attention of Nextdoor personnel and they just ignore me as if they don't want to admit that they made a mistake. I said "so, if someone mentioned Charles Manson
I guess we better speak good about him or our accounts will get suspended. THAT - is completely irresponsible and not cool to suspend me for
Supporting fellow members by sympathizing with them

This website is definitely a harbor of right wing rage at everyone that isn't white, or upper middle class. Calling people out for literally calling for the rounding up of poor people to be shipped out of their area just got my account deactivated.

Completely biased towards the leftist agenda. If you disagree with a view point that is pushed by the mainstream media you will be banned. If you are not banned you will be attacked by leftist chihuahua's. Very toxic environment with a lot of hate towards God, Country, and Family. Waste of time!

Moderators are community members meaning the majority are likely controlling posts and deciding which posts and comments to remove. Guidelines are subjective and their immediate response is to ban members for a month for each violation. Not turning off comments, deleting posts, or even letting members know why. It's fine when looking for community businesses and receive/give help to neighbors, but it's really just a biased social media site at this point. No change has been made to address or change the situation. It's a good idea, but VERY poorly executed.

I wanted to use this site to advertise my small business. I have no way to know if my ad is actually running. I've seen zero results from the ad I uploaded. I wanted to pull up the ad to see if there were errors in it. It turns out there is no way to do this. There is no support, no contact info, no way to delete my account or credit card number.
