Keeping up with neighbors
June 25, 2019

I enjoy Next Door because it enables me to connect with my community. I also enjoy the ability to post items for sale, and to see what others are selling or needing that I might have to donate. And I like reading others' thoughts on topics of neighborhood interest.

Basically like it
June 25, 2019

I enjoy reading about the concerns of people near me. I would like to learn more, like how to access services. I have never been able to figure it out and the HELP stuff doesn't help me.

I wouldn't recommend signing up for this company even if there was money in it for you or my life depended on it. For the staff that works there and isn't sure what "PUBLIC SHAMING" is: Public shaming is a judicial punishment imposed on a convicted criminal that includes humiliation in public instead of imprisonment. I didn't humiliate the woman I posted a video of. She humiliated herself IN PUBLIC! AND THREATENED MY KID - recording him and saying she wished she had her gun. THIS ALL TOOK PLACE AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I never ONCE said anything negative about this woman... I asked for the public's assistance in locating her to report her to the police. People should know who they are living next to and you guys are CLEARLY hiding it with your lame "terms of service excuse". And they sell your information... so clearly, privacy isn't a concern of theirs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2K-fOURRPU

Nextdoor Experience
June 22, 2019

I use Nextdoor to get recommendations and to respond to other's requests for information. It is a good resource for input from others on various topics. One aspect I do not like is not knowing why a thread is removed. At least leave in its place the reason it was removed and maybe who removed it. I would like to be able to create a group which includes neighbors from other neighborhoods besides my own.

Nextdoor only allows open and free communication as long as you are only posting about kittens and puppies and rainbows. If you delve into difficult community issues such as a corrupt police department (like in Franklin Park Borough, PA), your posts will be taken down and you will be banned from the service. It only takes one complaint and your post will be removed. Even if the other neighbors appreciate the information and give positive reviews. Nextdoor is a typical weak social media site. They prefer to remove and harm the poster of the information, rather than the complainer. Welcome to social media censorship. It's not very social.

Nextdoor
June 18, 2019

I enjoyed Nextdoor 5*'s until recently. I have notices arriving in my "inbox" which I find disturbing. Everything used to show up in my "Social" folder. Why the change? This is disturbing.

Love Nextdoor!
June 18, 2019

I appreciate the Nextdoor site because it keeps me informed on little and big things regarding my neighborhood. If there is a topic I do not have interest in, I can easily ignore it. If there is a topic I am very interested in, I can follow it for as long as I like and turn off notifications when I am ready. Thank you for the site - I think it is wonderful!

I have been on this listserve for several years and am mostly happy with the content. I've learned so much from my neighbors who generously share their experiences, concerns and referrals. The referrals alone are worth the time to be involved. And I love how everyone goes above and beyond to help the many lost and found animals. Every once in a while someone gets hostile, but usually the group responses will help tone things down. I applaud the listserve organizers for helping to make this such a helpful and easy way to stay connected.

Nextdoor is convenient way to communicate with neighbors. I like the ability to select your own neighborhood. Filter out others.

Stonewater Creek
June 18, 2019

We at Stonewater Creek use Nextdoor frequently. I, as the admin, have had serious problems with getting proper support for map maintenance. We are a growing community with new sections being added every couple of years. As an IT professional this is a great concern to me and as the founder, lead and admin for my community the map should reflect properly. It hasn't for the new areas being developed. I've also offered to help if given the access to do so.

Nextdoor is a great resource for neighborhood alerts, items for sale, homes for sale, lost pets and general information. I like that you can scan categories to find the answers from previous postings.

Help and comments
June 17, 2019

I view and sometimes comment, where it might be helpful on my wife's site. Whenever I put something out there, it is usually received being very helpful. However. I do find it disrespectful & unkind when somebody thinks they are clowns when making those kind of remarks when someone is actually reaching out to their neighbors for help & these "knuckleheads" have to add a stupid remark & delay the person seeking help for a special need. The old saying; "if you don't have anything nice to say______". Fill in the blank.

Okay, so if you need a plumber might be an option, but if you're interested in talking about anything difficult, like say trash in public places, or aggressive drivers, forget it. Just a feel good place for another software company to sell your data, and for entrepreneurs to look for their next marketing opportunity.

When I went through the sign up process, they wanted permission to access my contact list. Of course I refused. The only way they can pay for their servers, infrastructure, and employees is by either selling ads or by selling user information. My bet is on information.
