Nextdoor is worse than Twitter and Facebook for censorship. Try to have a decent conversation with your neighbor and express our conservative worldview and you will get suspended
I tried next-door, and had to stop. 70% of the posts are angry people ranting about the same ol' same ol': pets, bicycles, pedestrians, bad drivers, noise, children and teenagers, schools, city services, etc. 10% more are angry people ranting about said posts being deleted because of violation of community standards. 15% are chain store ads, 4% is useless chatter, and only about 1% is useful or builds community. Protect yourself mentally and physically, don't join.
Just like other social media sites, they only flag something as "political" if you disagree with their side (obviously left wingers). Some comments are deleted while others can remain. I deleted my account as I don't want to associate with such corruption.
When our neighborhood started using Nextdoor it was a clear winner as a way to keep our neighborhood members connected to each other. Members were respectful and used it to ask for and get advice on a variety of common issues from lawncare to security concerns. But over the last year or so Nextdoor has morphed into a platform for paid sponsor ads, individuals ranting about their issues, and personal items for sale. Notices come from all nearby Nextdoor Neighborhoods, whether you want them or not. While users can limit which neighborhoods can see their posts, they cannot limit the posts they receive. The application has become so cluttered with notices and ads that are of little interest within our neighborhood, I am looking for a new tool for us to use.
I published articles from the Wall Street journal criticizing how the government was handling Covid so they blocked me so I can no longer be on that site. Sounds like communism.
I just got my account disabled without any kind of warning. The boilerplate explanation is that I supposedly provided disinformation about COVID, but all I've ever said is that people should wear masks and vaccinate. If there's anything inaccurate someone should have reached out and I would have corrected it. Instead, they just disabled my account for four days.
A friend of mine was made a neighborhood lead without being asked. She tells me some people report everything they disagree with and some of the other leads don't even bother to check out their claims to make sure they're valid.
Nextdoor.com is becoming a popularity contest rather than a useful way for neighbors to communicate. Don't bother.
Was targeted by a group of women who seemed to have an influence on the app.
Was made to feel threatened and to be honest at the time almost suicidal.
When I asked one of the bullies to stop, the response was I was suspended by next door.
No chance to ask why, or why were they taking sides.
To be honest had been warned but maybe naively thought next door would be a fair platform.
This app and Democratic platform censors users who are not in line with the Democratic agenda. Three groups I am in have each been shut down 2x as well as my personal account shut down 2x as well. Reasons are totally unknown. This last time my personal account was shut down after making 1 comment (which I rarely do) regarding being kind to each other because people on the original post were attacking others... I have now deleted ND for good. I'm so thankful I didn't sign up for their business advertising, 12 month contract at over $500/mo.
Good riddance ND.
Just a site designed to receive revenue from businesses from their dismal referral and advertising program. The site itself seems to be a bunch of bitter Karens brow beating the world if you do not tow their false narratives and of course it is also a neighborhood gossip and $#*! about everything site. Not recommended!
Just recently rewrote their rules to do a CYA for themselves.
They royally left me to be racially raped due to their insistence on their then rules but changed to protect themselves.
Since having the local sheriff out to see the damage to my property, and requesting that I be allowed, can you image, to be provided two way connection to NextDoor, they have done nothing.
I would to just get reconnected but they are making it even harder to communicate.

Nextdoor app is a team of ppl who want to control the narrative but doesn't like when express your views. The ppl persuade the policy makers to ban or block ppl who are free thinkers, while they call you degrading names and taunt you. This app is full of crazy with covid-19 jab driven maniacs. Especially, in WELLINGTON, FL
Well turns out after I learned my lesson that Next door app actually has a lot rules and they taught me them during our dispute and am glad to say they solved it.
I joined the Nextdoor app to get recommendations for local businesses and services, as well as to keep up with events and/or possible emergencies affecting my local community. Unbeknownst to me, Nextdoor took it upon itself to leverage my identity (name and street name) to send out invitations to strangers in my community without my permission to get them to join the app. I was horrified to discover this feature when I received an email notification that a person I didn't know had accepted my invitation to join the app. Clueless as to what invitation had been accepted, I did some digging and discovered that Nextdoor had sent out 200+ invitations in my name without my permission. I feel completely used and violated by Nextdoor and immediately deactivated my account due to the company's unethical business practices and invasive customer exploitation tactics. The overly invasive nature of the app completely overshadows any positive features I previously enjoyed. In addition, the app indicates that users can opt out of this feature, but only after hundreds of invitations have already been distributed on your behalf to neighbors you've never even met. If you value your anonymity, privacy, and safety in your local community, please heed this warning about Nextdoor.
Nextdoor allows accusations of innocent people for walking on sidewalk. Its really own for "whigh wingers"
Hackers are on here google play and tiktok and nextdoor! Crackheads! I have my freedom rights to say whatever i want to say an ill be posting commenting this every day now! Try something courts will not be on your sides. Thats my freedom rights
In our area, Nextdoor has been hijacked by the crazies, including anti-vaxxers, out of the mainstream political types, and chronic complainers. Very little useful information of discussion occurs. The moderators do not seem to be able to handle (or do not want to) the covid misinformation being posted. Very poor.
NextDoor will suspend your account if, in regard to local crime, you write...
"[V]iolent crime rates are doubled for patients with schizophrenia and bipolar mood disorders and tripled for those with unipolar depression" [1]. "[A]round 10% of the patients with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders behave violently, compared with less than 2% of the general public".[2]

I figured an app that lets you discuss things with neighbors would be a great idea. I joined and deactivated my account after 5 minutes. Take all the worst boomers you can find on Facebook and that's what NextDoor is. It's filled with conspiracy theories, racism, and folks who never finished high school giving their "expert opinion" on COVID19. Maybe have each street elect a representative and not let everyone post whatever is on their minds?
Origin of site is San Francisco All democrats & liberals say what ever they want opposing their narrative of lies and misinformation gets you kicked off. They are trolling for weak minded easy marks to turn with absolutely ridicules lies and misinformation. It's a total sham. Don't waste your time it's a joke full of anti American biden lovers. Your full name is required unless you're a democrat or liberal. Lars P is proof of that. Him and several other democrats/liberals don't have to have full name?! Liberals and democrats will love their like minded criteria. If you are a trump supporter they delete you immediately!
After giving Nextdoor a try (Business Account) I had one local neighbor private message me not happy that I promote my business. I blocked that user. 1 month later my business account was locked for 30 days for promotion my business on a BUSINESS PAGE?
We support businesses as a business owner and admin two FBook pages that allow businesses to promote their business. I don't understand entities that do not support growth. As soon as I am able to get back in I will be deleting my account.
Answer: The negative reviews are honest reactions to being duped into sharing too much personal information (that Nextdoor now owns and will NEVER delete and will continue to sell to advertisers until your dying day) to join a site that seems friendly on the surface, but which does NOTHING to protect users. I was bullied by a convicted murderer, who is a Lead in my neighborhood--and I was banned from the site for complaining. Leads are nothing more than early adopters of the site who have been assigned power over other users so that Nextdoor does not have to police it's own site. In short: No. The negative reviews are not wrong. Heed them! I wish I had known before it was too late!
Answer: Forget about nextdoor and leads. Get a life, a real one. Don't waste your time with toxic online communities that tend to get the worst out of people. My advise is run away while you still have some dignity left.
Answer: Kay is right. That is their policy. However, don't expect them to hold to it. We have leads unfairly removing only some people's comments and Nextdoor does nothing about it. Best bet, dump nextdoor.
Answer: Neighborhood. Rocks is in development. Another 6 months.
Answer: Truth is like oil and water. As long as the scam artist have enough venture capital (other people's money) they will continue to shake the bottle leaving it a murky view obscuring the truth. Run out of cash, they'll be exposed for the incompetent boobs they are and the top dogs will clear out their bank accounts and move on to the next scam. One look at their "leading edge tech" pulled right out of the 1980's is proof enough they will die in the tar pits just like the fellow dinosaurs. Want a state of the art app?

Answer: Dallas, SiteJabber rates it at 16%. It would surely rate lower if there weren't so many fake positive reviews. Folks review Nextdoor either 1 or 5. The fives read like ads about Nextdoor's features and potential. The ones are written by real people and give accounts of how awful their experiences were.
Answer: Several other reviewers on this site have had the same thing happen to them. We have been fully banned from nextdoor (beyond just "suspension"), but they keep our profiles, and sometimes our names still appear in the neighbor registry. They refuse to remove us fully, I suppose, in an attempt to misrepresent our endorsement and participation there. It's clearly unethical, but their TOS states that they can do this, as any nd apologist will point out.
Answer: Here's a tidy answer from corporate... Hi Colleen, Thanks for getting back to me. Our Community Guidelines prohibit posting about Lead activity on the main newsfeed. If your Leads are inactivate and youre concerned about moderation in your neighborhood, you should reach out directly to Nextdoor Support. If you have any specific concerns I can help you with at this time, please let me know. Best, Amanda Nextdoor However, the minute you alert corporate to issues with leads in your community you'll find your account terminated. They are very protective of the information surrounding who really is controlling the activities on the boards. Most people in my community are under the misguided impression that corporate is in control. They don't even consider it is their neighbor who sits in judgement.
Answer: Nextdoor wants your full legal name, house number and address and your email address that they link all together. As an added bonus... They have a little map that you can click on. That way if, OMG, you offend someone the little map leads them straight to your house. Run, do not walk, away from this site. No good comes from Nextdoor.
Answer: Your name and address will be known to everyone who uses the NextDoor application and website. I don't suggest using it. I recently discovered that low income apartments in ghetto areas might be able to use the application to do crime. Car theft, asaaults, kidnapping and just about everything else under the sun.
