There is case law against Nextdoor
In my case when a neighbor in the community named Kat Kavaliunas from Surprise AZ provided false information to the community over and ongoing neighborhood feud involving barking dogs and bright flood lights, and then discloses the street that you live on. (this violation of ones right to privacy) This resident that has caused neighborhood bullying and then my account has been suspended multiple times for defending myself from her viscous ongoing attacks on Nextdoor. The moderators do not look at the whole picture nor do they care that the person creating the post shares your address on their platform, and when you do report the post then they take hours if not days to respond while the attacks are allowed to continue, then to top it off your account gets suspended for reporting their viscous neighborhood post while defending yourself. Your private information should never be allowed to be exploited on any website. Nextdoor claims to protect your privacy which is not the case when another resident knows your full name and knows where you live.
Nextdoor.com is a website for profit at the expense of your own personal information an and safety... Think twice about using this application and this website (nextdoor.com)

Systemic bias
September 23, 2020

I have found NextDoor to be systemically biased against those with conservative views. They rarely, if ever, remove posts from liberals and never suspend them, to my knowledge. ND regularly censors and de-platforms conservatives, however.

Finally had enough of a NextDoor Democrat blaming Trump for Covid-19 deaths, for destroying the economy, etc., etc. and then calling our President a cheeto, and responded that he was a Democrat troll that got his talking points daily from the DNC. Another said that Blacks had to fear driving, to which I responded the truth that Blacks are more at risk driving through all Black neighborhoods than driving through a predominately White one. Well, that was too much for Democrat NextDoor and I got temporarily suspended. Did the troll get suspended? Nope. Don't waste your time on NextDoor. It's just another vehicle for left coast liberals to rant and for Google and other social media trackers to plant their cookies on your computer.

Leftist cabal
September 23, 2020

We have a separate group from the general forum Idaho for Trump. It's design was for people of common values to talk without offending the others. The the leftist cabal started to monitor our discussions and say thing to bait us to respond so that numerous people in the cabal could file complaints against us and get us banished. I used my time Off to raise $4000 for the Trump re-election campaign. ND admin seems to favor the leftists and will drop you without explanation. We are looking for a better site to comminucate because this one is totally screwed up.

Very Liberal Biased Site!
September 19, 2020

They offered the opportunity to start your own group in your neighborhood dealing with special interests. I started one with the word "Patriot" in the title. It naturally concerned politics and was centered on a Conservative agenda. It was a separate group open to ALL. One person got on there with a fictitious name and dominated the whole posting scene. When challenged this person came up with the same line repeatedly and then spewed more mainstream media hype against our President. I matched wits and was censored and had my account disabled. Their logic was that I offended some folks on there and violated "their" guidelines. I never swore or dropped any "F" bombs just used wit and clever references to outwit the nag. Since these folks are based in San Fran they are most likely in with Nancy Pelosi and that ilk. The site is useless unless you are a Stepford Wife and toe THEIR marks. You are better off to not waste your time or typing on these idiots!

Suspended a second time, this time for two weeks
September 14, 2020
Updated review

Nextdoor is basically a data mining website, it appears they are only interested in selling you. Today I asked to have my account permanently deleted. I was suspended a second time after defending myself against a troll who was spreading misinformation about covid. I wonder if Nextdoor is a getting paid by the Trump campaign or Republican Party because the site is full of right wing trolls, racist trolls, and trolls spreading misinformation about Covid-19. I made a mistake by going back, I just wanted to purchase somethings for sale but never again.

Racist comments on nextdoor
August 18, 2020
Previous review

There was a heated comment thread on blacks lives matter and the police. The person who posted the comment claimed his blue thin line flag was vandalized without showing pictures. There was no proof of who committed the vandalism. The ensuing comments were racist, I reported the person who posted the original comment and racists comments. I then had my account disabled and still not reinstated a day later. I believe my neighbors retaliated against and reported my account as a fake profile. I am now afraid of which neighbors made hateful comments. Nextdoor is scary, they do not address people who are there to just stir up anger and division.

If I could give it less than 1 star I would. I posted an article recently that I found on Facebook on to ND. It was removed because of controversial issues according to ND. It was posted properly in the National and State forum. It was about how Americans are being gaslighted. Since it was not left enough for ND they removed it. I was suspended for 30 days a couple of months ago for similar reasons. Also if you speak the truth ND will, apparently, remove your post if it is reported. They would rather perpetuate lies than promote the truth. I have had several posts removed for the same reasons.
If it is not Left or Lies don't post it. If someone complains it's gone!
(Interestingly, Facebook where I got my post from is the parent company of ND. ND rejects while FB lets it stay. Looks like ND really really likes Zuckerberg's boot print thats planted right between ND eyes!

Kept getting notifications of messages from NextDoor when there weren't any messages. Finally deleted the app to see if that fixed it. When I reinstalled it I asked for a password reset that never came. Tried to contact them but got in their endless no help do it yourself loop that never worked. Maybe a bad review is the only way to get their attention.

Should be called Nextbore
September 10, 2020

I've never seen so many helpless and clueless folks as who post on what should be called nextBORE, not nextdoor... I guess the best thing about it is you can figure out which neighbors to avoid altogether.

"FAKE NEWS"
September 9, 2020

About a year ago I joined my local Nextdoor even after I saw that there was many issues with this social media across the country. It was fine until this spring when the Liberal Lefists would try to silence anything they wanted by yelling FAKE NEWS. Even when factual information was given with authentic links, they refused to even consider and claimed fake news. I ended up deactivating my account to get rid of the Libtards. Since I have been living in that area for 26 years, I really had no use for that type of social media which caters to people that are new and need lots of information about services in the area.

Morons...
September 8, 2020

Most people in Nextdoor are there to cause trouble, Harass and to just be total Morons in every sense of the word. I am Friendly Hills West. Colorado. Nothing Friendly about these people.
This is Social Media at it's worst. For every problem the mention of Call The Police is their solution.
Someone should call the Police and get these idiots off the Computer and Back to Real society.
If I could give a Negative 5 rating, that would be to Nice.
I Know my Neighbors personally, And these people would be Run Out Of this neighborhood.
Especially if they lived Nextdoor To Me!

Neighbors bully and silence others with whom they disagree. It is all in the hands of the leads, who disable accounts at their pleasure and according to their own political views. Antifa simpatizers and people who promote violence are allowed, in spite of repeated complaints.

Nothing but a reflection of what the media is promoting, however, if Nextdoor continues to allow harassment, I hope someone starts a class action lawsuit.

DISGUSTING. EVERY PERSON INVOLVED WITH THIS SITE IS SHADY with some covert real estate interest. They're actually even involved with several TERRORIST groups and drug trafficking and human trafficking. They fish around for every piece of information they can glean about your life, force people to use their full legal names and addresses when "addressing them", which is a MAJOR safety and privacy violation, and all they really want to find out is how many angles they can SCAM YOU from. And there are a MYRIAD of ways they can do that--they can sell you a balloon loan to buy a home, they can rent you a shady apartment, they can help set you up with an entire criminal network of dirty-deals all around your lovely "neigborhood". It should be called "the terrorist and drug dealer nextdoor" instead of just nextdoor. They'll even stoop so low as to hack your computer and devices to get more information, since they force you to give them such a good start into the violation of your privacy. Then they'll allow other members to threaten and harass you and call you and your family racial slurs to try to bully you off of there if you aren't falling in line with all their criminal bs. I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen so many nicely dressed scammers and schemers and drug dealers.

You have to get a verification code each time you sign in. Not user friendly. Seriously, it's more difficult to get into than other social media platforms. I seriously don't think your account is at much risk of getting hacked. No one cares enough. At the cost of free, this app is not worth it.
