I think the app is great but their policy sucks. The site has a personal and a business side. The personal side does not allow you to talk about their business. They monitor you. You have to use the business side and pay for any messaging about your company. Their business advertising is very limited for the money you pay.

I was sharing work that I am doing in my house and getting opinions from my neighbors and Nextdoor blocked my account for three days as a punishment for violating their advertising policy.

Maybe someone will create another competing app and allow neighbors to collaborate without limitations or censorship

Censorship is EXTREME
February 4, 2022

No one can say anything unless it is approved by whoever decides what is and is not okay. And they don't let you know until they have banned your profile. Horrible

LOVE Nextdoor!
February 5, 2022

Nextdoor is a refreshing change from Facebook, or at least that is the goal…. A place where neighbors coming together to support each other, share helpful tips, and help reunite lost pets, keys and phones,

Quick to react
February 2, 2022

Nextdoor decided to deactivate my account. Now they are asking me to come back. This must be there way of acknowledging they were wrong. Too bad, I am not returning. Your quick and inaccurate decision hurts your bottom dollar. Not mine. I can help my neighborhood without you.

Absolutely ridiculous!
January 31, 2022

Good luck if you join this app. Moderators are biased, neighborhood Karen's will use it to harass and bully you, and you could do all the right things and still get accused of bullying and get taken down for 30 days! It's ridiculous how many times the real bullies get away with what they do but the rest of us get punished for things that we shouldn't be! I got banned today for making a post about bird feeders that included me calling the neighborhood ban on bird feeders due to pests "bull$#*!." They said that was uncivil and that I was bullying. Who am I bullying?!. This app is beyond ridiculous!

Toxic platform
January 28, 2022

NextDoor creates an environment of toxicity by allowing their "Leads" to wreak havoc through power trips. They don't have any criteria for people to be Leads. Complaints about abuse by Leads are not dealt with. Hate this platform! Cancelled my membership and encourage others to do the same.

I response to an ongoing plethora of thefts of packages from porches and Christmas decorations, I used the word "scum" to describe the people doing it. Nextdoor suspended me for 30 days stating that I was being unneighborly. Nextdoor considers a THIEF a neighbor deserving our respect!

You can post something that in no way violates Nextdoor rules and get blocked. I posted factual public information after another user accused me of unethical conduct at my job and I got blocked for merely replying with facts to clear up the issue. I think all the complaints must be sent to somebody's three year old child. And there's no oversight of the Leads, so don't expect any help from them. We should all find a better app for sharing with our neighbors.

I used a pen name because this site is really nothing more than neighbors complaining about each other.

Account disabled for not using "real name"

Sorry, stupid site. If I have to live next door to some of these jerks you don't get my real name.

A Bunch of Fascists
January 24, 2022

NextDoor is a left winged hate site disguised as a neighborhood app. I have never run into a bunch of more liberal, inane, hateful, intolerant hypocrites in my entire life. The leads are given much leeway with your private info. There have been cases here of liberal leads posting information they gleaned from the site and even reported, they were not disciplined. This site is chock full of anti-white rhetoric, 'white privilege' nonsense, and unscientific Covid misinformation. If you like leftist, intolerant, racist, mean and trite treatment? ND's the ticket.

I had to deactivate my account because I reported a racist post that was not taken down and I continued to receive racist comments. Yet, Nextdoor will censor any word that comes near swearing, or "mean" toned content. A really stiupid site for really stupid people.

Nextdoor sounds like a good idea, but if your neighborhood has a large group of Leftist SJWs, they'll gang up on Conservative thinkers to have them silenced. A local Lead, Rick Hinojos, lures those he doesn't like into traps in attempt to have them suspended; there are several Legtist Leads in my neighborhood who think it is their duty to silence Conservative thought. I have been suspended for wishing well to a SJW who complained that I said, "I hope you have joy in your life." I was also suspended for posting a link to a USA Today article about a person who was arrested for his involvement on Jan 6. My crime? The person who got arrested is Black. I was also suspended for asking someone who was complaining about the singing at the Sunday church service (he lived near the church), "Are you saying that the parishioners should tone down their enthusiasm when praising the Lord?"(see pic of letter from ND Corp explaining my suspension). I was physically threatened for attending an Open California rally in May 2020. The local Leads refused to remove the threats. I have been called vicious names and the posts continue to appear because whatever the Left says or does is ok.

My advice to anyone who thinks for themselves - stay away from ND if you live in a Blue state. The people will bully and gang up on you. It is the worst of the worst of humanily.

I'm a licensed General Contractor and I joined nextdoor to advertise my business.
I had a nasty client that happened to be on their.
She wrote numerous crazy nasty reviews about me which were all lies.
The lead Nancy Gilberg of 15 aurora ln Salem Massachusetts started attacking me and my business. She harassed me every time I posted something.
She tortured me and horrified me. She was worse than having a tick burrowed into your body.
She got me disabled for life, my girlfriend disabled and her ex-husband and anyone else who mentioned my name.
Nextdoor isn't a friendly family site.
It's a communist gathering of psychos.
The government should shut it down.

Bullies rule this app
January 18, 2022

My next door neighbor made a post about me putting my full name on the post and I defended myself and asked for an apology but instead Nextdoor banned me and not the neighbor who made the post. The Leads are the bullies also. Very unsafe and unfair app stay far away.
