Nice to connect with those in my community but get tired of the political crap and those über sensitive responders
Many residents relocated here and had to create a reliable list of contacts for services. In my previous life, I depended on Angie's List for reputable contractors. Next Door is an even better solution.
Just glad that this is available for us, we can learn a lot about business, and neighbors who happen to post something important and relavent to our community. Love it.
This is a great site to connect on my local people/ neighbors. Don't appreciate some of the political and bizarre rants about someone's car horn going off in the middle of the night, though
I promoted Nextdoor as a replacement for our previous neighborhood forum when that site converted to required subscriptions. My neighbors wholeheartedly joined me. It has provided rapid communication during emergencies. It has been instrumental in fostering communication here and has been relatively easy for members to use. Response from its support team has been timely. It seems to be managed thoughtfully. I hope it will continue to be part of our community.
Very convenient way to contact neighbors - learn what is new. From traffic accidents to avoid, sell something, giving someone asssistance, recommending a place to go, eat, etc.
What I DO NOT like is people "venting" -- this is not a political forum.
Very helpful in getting opinions - advice and suggestions from local neighbors. I also like to recommend local business that I have been happy with and vice versa
I have loved ND from day one and have encouraged others to join. I have met new people, made nice connections to trade, sell and share. I really appreciate when local, state and national issues are discussed as I learn a lot. I mute people who are cruel, who label and are demeaning to others with different views. Some conversations go on longer than I am interested in, so I just stop the thread. I am VERY VERY disappointed that one of our most intelligent, loquacious members was booted recently. It has made me think twice about being part of ND. I had no idea the organization arm would censor members because I can do it myself if I need to. I am looking for an alternative community network at this time.
Nextdoor is a good communication tool. Most issues are user based. You can't program a application to fix stupid. It is nice that it is free.
I was very happy to see all of the helpful replies to my posting! It's a great feeling of "Togetherness, Support and Sharing" that really works! Thank You for being here for everyone!`
Most of the posts are helpful. Sometimes folks get carried away and go on and on. Helpful to learn about issues in Lake Oswego.
I've been on this site for 9 yrs and initially the site provided information on how to handle neighbor, hoa issues currently it is a $#*! site, where folks just complain without action. And of course all the lost dogs, i have never been aware of so many lost dogs... i think it's reckless... i rarely get on nextdoor any more, unless i am sharing information civicly and neighborhood info.
Just trying to stay informed about the community. Hoping to find some community events and recommendations. I am new to the area.
I use this app to see who people are recommending for particular home repairs, landscaping etc. I also appreciate the Nampa updates from the city.
Helpful in so many ways! Suspicious Behavior alerts, lost pets, neighborhood sales and social events... to finding answers in your neighborhood. Great way to communicate!
When I was new to the state and the area, Nextdoor was a life saver to me... with referrals and recommendations for various businesses and service personnel, it helped me tremendously!
Nextdoor has been super helpful especially with lost pets. The site is also helpful in that informaiton on break-ins and suspcious activity is provided. That informatoin helps me be more vigilant to the surroundings.
I enjoy Nextdoor very much and find it helpful when searching for good people to contract with. The daily conversations regarding our town and neighborhoods is greatly appreciated
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.
