I recently posted a personal experienced with a 4-year old black girl that I saw throwing garbage out of a car window, then flipped me the bird, while her mother was watching and approving her behavior. I stated that if you raise your children to be defiant and disrespectful, you are creating your own monsters that later are going to defy and disrespect anybody in an authority position, such as teachers or the police.
Facebook had no problem with my post, but the stupid morons at Nextdoor, considered my post racist and they have suspended my account for 30 days.
I don't care about Nextdoor anymore and I will be deleting my account from their website, because I have seen similar complaints from other users. They can take their website and shove it. AMF!
The site uses nosey neighbors to play hall monitor. They're called "leads". They consider themselves as the people that "run" the site. If you make a comment they or their buddies don't like, they harass you and when you object, they suspend you. Alt-right, Q-anon, racist, gun nuts, anti maskers, or just mean, they all seem so gather to complain about anyone who they consider different.
One woman mentioned she saw a coyote on her block. A Lead made fun of her, then his buddies piled on. The woman was very upset, she was trying to be helpful. They swarm & attack like schoolyard bullies. The "Leads" report you based upon their idea of what is okay. They send their reports / accusations to customer service, a corporate person without your input. That person suspends people, kicks them off. No input from the person accused. It's really viscous. Just a bunch of bullies.
BTW, people who advertise on ND say it is worthless. The site is so hostile, people leave before they become too engaged. The advertisers don't want to be associated with bullies. It's hard to build a business base. It's an awful experience. Like a high school in Hell.
Even if you like to civilly debate your neighbors on national politics, you cannot present any balanced political ant-Trump postings, without getting banned. This site is a cess-pool of rightwing maniacs here in Huntington Beach, CA.
Worst customer service and a total scam. You can not even call them to complain! Total rip off! Spend your hard earned $ somewhere else.
My account was disabled for no reason. I had started a group for my morning devotions. Since religion to them is not allowed on main page. Do all was well then went on just now and found out my account has been disabled for 15 days. They collect your information and sell it. When you try to get off the app on your own your information is still retained.
I have been on Nextdoor for about 2 years and never said anything bad and they banned me because they said they want my last name and to upload proof then they ask to see something with my address and full name.
1. once they have your info they will sell it.
2 they claim its safe to give them your identity but when I asked them okay give me your last name they replied back its not required.
3. why would you think its safe? Nextdoor you never know who anyone is unless its family and even that can be a mystery.
The crew did a great job of installing new windows and a patio door, I love them. They came when they said they would and cleaned up after the installation.
If you are conservative. & on next door app, the people on there will harass you to no end & than the moderators will suspend your Account! Ridiculous the social Platforms in this country. News media, & all social Platforms. Believe me. Hear me, I will bad mouth this platform to no end.
ND somehow became a very Prejudiced Political Ogre. (I thought this was supposed to be a friendly little neighborhood site?)
A daily shameful and uncensored display of Prejudice, Discrimination and hate towards anyone who they deem as different.
So much for "Tolerance" or "Unity" or "Bipartisanship"
In their efforts, they are exponentially adding to the problem of division, hate and racism. -Not to the solution.
All these Social sites must Not be allowed to continue to control the narrative, while freely running unregulated and uncensored, with absolutely NO ACCOUNTABILITY OR OVERSIGHT.
WAKE UP AMERICA the writing is on the wall.
**I was formerly an ND member for over 10yrs.
We reached out to Jack and set an appointment to have him come fix our refrigerator (water component). Jack was right on time and fixed our problem in 30 minutes. He was friendly, professional and the price was fair for what he did. I highly recommend using Jack Dish Plumbing if you are in the Las Vegas, Nevada area.
If I could get them a zero or a negative star I would.
They censor ANYONE who speaks against ANYTHING they decide is fact. I have had my account disabled twice now for utilizing my right of free speech, in which I broke no law and told no one to break any laws. I have been told that Nextdoor is not the place for opinions. Really? I'd like to know how this works on a site when 99% of what people say in there is THEIR OPINIONS! The only opinions that are allowed are the ones that agree with THEIR politics. No one is allowed to say anything about vaccines, or any view point against covid 19. People are harassed and bullied and shamed for saying they don't wear masks or voice their opinions against it. They're accounts are disabled. They are TERRIBLE and I honestly wish their site would shut down.
I had problems with a lady picking up a cat at my house she thought was hers. Well she got the cat and then said nasty things about Us and our house. I deleted my account and I'm so mad. Also she called the police and they came to my job about the cat. Don't get me going!@@!
It's actually a recipe to bully others with strange powers from the leads... who have limited to useless to infuriating powers to the victim. Whoever thought this system out was a clod head... but it saves staff and customer service... way too many useless ineffectual moderators who just want a quiet life and do not want o deal with bullies to incase they upset them leaving cyberbullying to take place within a 100 yards of front door! Clever folk here have not thought it through... should be a way to force the resignation of some leads/moderators whose questionable decisions on some folk being bullied really is at the bottom end of human caring. They should nip all bullying in the bud. But they don't the poor triggered victim cannot block and gets attacked by the usual bandwagon morons and moderators just allow it. Once o them she was too busy with the kids to do anything about it and read all the messages. If that is not a license to say go ahead and carry on bullies from a moderator I do not know what is. Its a design flaw to have cheap moderation that does not work
It leaves you far more open to abuse from some morons out for a crack at your expense... I feel for people on it from some local bullies just having a crack at just decent folk. Like you and me.
Power goes to moderators heads ho might know either local party or local gossip... it's s actually a tool for cruelty used in the wrong hands... with some seriously nasty people.
If you write something and someone doesn't like what you say they report you with a good chance of getting kicked off. Nextdoor never notifies you why you were kicked off and what comments were offensive to individuals. Even when you don't specifically attack anyone. They use the offensive language rule as quick as a rain drop. The bottom line, it's cancel culture. If it doesn't fit the political correct word police it's offensive. However, when the PC voice their opinion and it's offensive to conservatives, it's cherished. Marxism comes to mind about this site. They even warn you that when talking about "the virus" to use the correct term with suggestions such as, Covid-19". To bad you cannot give it less than ONE. The only good thing about them is connecting with people that are like minded in hobbies and recreation.
May as well be CCP. They were created for the purpose of "Organizing". Comments are invited as long as they agree with their agenda. They encourage neighbors to point out racists and biggots, to be determined by them. Check out their top-billed Post in the Groups section.
On Dec 13th per my last review of Nextdoor, they suspended my account until Jan 13th because I expressed an opinion ghey didn't like. I sent 7 emails with NO reply. I am stll locked out after 30 days, and they stiill won't respond. Their advertisers need to know how poor their ratings are and how they treat potential custmers they are paying to reach. A waste of money to place adds with them, in my opinion.
No conservative thought is tolerated, all censored. Ads too much. All prejudice in all areas. No replies given, no reason at all.
Any attempt to politely offer contrary points of view that do not meet the Marxist mindset of the company executives gets you suspended. But they will never tell you exactly what you said and why it violates their rules, which they seem to make up as they go along for their own political biases. You just get bluntly and coldly shut out of the site with no warning and no opportunity to challenge the suspension, pathetic!
If your just using it for garage sales, it's great. If your wanting to criticize almost anything and ask questions about issues people face you are hit with pop ups pushing you to follow the narrative of the site rather than question real facts or supposed questionable links to unfavored websites
This site in Southern Brunswick County always suspends Pro- Biden posts! Looks like one-way. When you disagree with non- maskers they also suspend you
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.
