Small neighborhood community app or email that can keep us informed as neighbors when something is going on in our neighborhood whether good or bad, things for sale or needed. I think it's great most of the time
Nextdoor makes me feel I know all my neighbors and can reach out for just about anything I need or want. And it's the best for staying involved in City and County matters.
I never knew we had so many great neighbors & I read about them every day (helping out one another). I love the announcements & sharing of excess (bulbs, food items, plants, etc). I love hearing of real time local happenings (comedy, music, farmer's market) & safety concerns (road/power closures/outages). We have proven over and over that we are a village when it comes to finding a lost pet & supporting those who are unable too. Cannot number the times I have met new neighbors while purchasing something from the greater neighborhood. I love this app. I don't FB, Tweet or Instagram. Nextdoor suits me just fine.
I have been a member of Nextdoor for many years. First in Patterson, CA and now here in Sequim. I love how it keeps us connected. I ignore the things I don't like or disagree with and sometimes respond to the things I like or agree with. I particularly like the posts by the Sheriff Department.
Appreciate this site. I've learned things going on in North Edmond that I might have missed. Neighbors are so good to answer other neighbors requests or questions.
I have learned so much about the goings on in my neighborhood. Garage sales, people who know places to go, things happening in my town & just getting to know my neighbors.
I enjoy reading nextdoor post, however, I'm hesitant to comment because there is a lot of negative & hostile feedback. Also, I don't like the way people beat a "dead horse" on various subjects... the comments on the new fascinations store on ina rd... on and on.
Some people are truly hateful on next-door and when I've flagged their posts, they don't get taken down. One especially concerning thread was a neighborhood (not mine meaning all of this info was being shared with thousands of people) was accusing two young teenagers of minor crimes, like trespassing. However, they posted the kid's house and then other "neighbors' starting calling for neighborhood patrol. It was disgusting to me and felt like it was just foreshadowing another Trayvon Martin incident. However, the neighborhood administrator did not take the thread down. I just checked and it is still up. There needs to be next-door moderators like facebook has and so it is more uniformly done than neighbors who are clearly biased in these threads.
It's a good medium to get recommendations when looking for help ie plummer electrician painter etc. advertising things for sale or announce garage sale. It's just a great way to notify a lot of neighbors & neighborhoods with one message
Commercial people need to stay in area for them.
It's a nuisance using on phone as it's necessary to sign in every time.
Love using Nextdoor for the recommendations, feedback, service info and neighborhood watch. I am kept updated about events, traffic and crime incidents. It's a valuable resource.
There have been numerous occasions that the site has been a resource for happenings in the community which has been very helpful.
Now there are a lot of ads and repeats of ads and a lot of sad news about animals and if animals are lost and then found, it doesn't show that.
It is nice to know what is going on around me-not surprised when things happen. It is nice to see neighbors on here.
I like that Nextdoor posts happenings in our area. It's good to know what people are interested in and things (good or bad) that are happening in the neighborhoods in this area.
I never really used nextdoor much. But I always got the daily digest, which kept me up-to-date with what mostly was going on. Unfortunately the redesigned digest page is almost useless, I barely read it each day when I get it. I almost never go to the next door website I am therefore out-of-the-loop pretty much.
I like NextDoor. Communities and neighbors share different things; I especially like when lost pets are reunited with their owners.
Great way to keep neighbors aware of what is going in in your neighborhood and or city. Also a great networking tool.
Nextdoor is a great resource for neighborhood news, crime alerts, lost and found pets, items for sale and recommendations.
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.
