I joined Nextdoor Desert Hills in Phoenix, AZ. Be warned that, if you are a Trump supporter, and an NRA supporter, and you voice your beliefs, even when backed by research and studies, you will be harassed and abused, including by so-called leads. You have the option to report people. I don't like it and I don't do it, but I do leave reviews.
For safe topics, it is a good app, although people don't seem to sell much through it in my neck of the woods. But you can't beat it for lost pets.

The biased handling of content by the "Leads" is of concern, who tend to be a small group of (mostly white) men, who seem to resent women who have opinions on anything other than casserole recipes. My account got suspended after a minor disagreement of opinion with a neighbor, there was no discussion, no example, nor explanation, just a canned message stating "violated terms not being helpful" despite having four years of membership. If it's truly a "neighborhood" forum, one would expect there would be dialogue to clear up any misunderstandings.

Wow - my account was disabled after my first message which was letting a mother know I would pass on her message to my sister inlaw who helped her son after a major accident. After closer inspection I was notified that I hadn't competed my SURNAME! On top of that I couldn't change it even if I wanted to as I had to prove my FULL name to them first LOL

So this is a site that is arrogant enough to demand what personal information you have to share to the whole community of people you don't know - while at the same time shares your FULL address unless you go deep into the settings to disable it... Just because everyone else on the site is doing it - but ultimately let's you set up an account this way in the first place!

Clearly clueless about what happened with Facebook and need to open their eyes to what's happening with the Amazon boss if they happily assume their security is forever impenetrable

Mostly a soap box with people complaining. My disappointment is that they are discriminatory. If one person is self promoting their craft/ they will remove post and possibly disable access to using the app altogether but yet you WILL find others posting similiar things that they have made or looking for commissions and their posts even after they've been reported the posts remain. If they have a guideline this needs to be adhered to by everyone and enforced. Discriminatory business practice

Content is monitored mainly by "leads" who are volunteers and exercise their own personal biases or don't review content at all. Libelous remarks about neighbors are allowed to remain published with no recourse to have them taken down other than a time consuming process of contacting the website directly and wait over 24 hours to have offensive content removed. Political whining and badmouthing elected officials is commonplace and leads are selective in removing such content, depending on their own political views. The site is good for reuniting lost pets with owners and reporting crimes to neighbors. Not much else.

Nextdoor is great for connecting with my actual, real neighbors. We help each other with things to do in our city, business recommendations, lost/found pets, safety concerns, and other issues. I like how for the most part, everyone is very respectful of each other in communications. When people aren't respectful, other neighbors put them in their place and remind them of appropriate communications. This website has been so helpful for me; I highly recommend it.

As per the title this last month I had send my dear ZZ the Princess Warrior home. This compassionate company came to my home, removed their shoes and proceeded to sit on my floor and hold and talk to me about this sadness.Ive never felt compassion like that before with regards to this situation. Dr. Kit even brought a leopard blanket to wrap her in. Also, a paw prints and a beautiful card week later. This I'd a first class business Christminded. Thankyou and God Bless JOURNEY.

Unlike others, I don't object to freedom of speech be it local or national politics and would rather see less censureship than more. I think a forum like Nextdoor is very usual for getting information to the public. And members should feel free to disagree and express that in a reasonable manner.

On a practical level, there should be more categories in the "for sale" listings, like holiday etc. there's too much to browse when you are looking for something specific or trying to sell something specific.
