Nextdoor is a good neighborhood resourse; however it is poorly used by some people. I personally do not like the new 'digest' format and prefer the previous format. More user-friendly training might help. The boundaries for our neighborhood are not accurate and include another neighborhood.
Some good and some not so good. Once people arguing on Nextdoor. I have gotten so many good people from asking on Nextdoor. I would like to know how to take mine off when I have no need for it to be on there. Mostly I like the experience. Just my opinions!
I really like Nextdoor for the heads-up neighbors share. I dislike one person using it as a dog adoption site! Some people feel the need to make snide comments which I don't like.
The first thing to be aware of, as in life in general sometimes it is hard for different socioeconomic neighbors to get along. The app can be useful but also can cause bickering and disputes. My best advice to enjoy the site is not to bring up social, political or religious views.
In general it's helpful for posting lost animals and crime but there is too much bickering back and forth between "neighbors" on any subject posted. I am a lead and get very tired of complaints between posts and deleting reported posts. When voting to delete a post or not there needs to be a better way to tell the poster why you voted that way.
It is great to help us find lost animals, give or sell items, hire helpers such as plumbers or
Tudors, and even to let people ventilate about things like dog poop.
Lots of Community stuff that sometimes is helpful or meaningful. Often times extremely helpful! I also find it refreshing that we can have our own community information restricted to our community.
I have been a Lead now for almost six years and for the most part my experience has been good. Better indexing and search tools for the CG would be a big help. Things change and unless we read everything every day we have no idea what is current. A way for Leads to contact support like the old *******@nexteoor.com would be very helpful. We have almost 1500 members in NDPV and have had very few problems. I think all in all most of our members think ND is a help for the neighborhood.
Love connecting with my community and getting quick feedback to issues that are important to me. I especially like knowing about crime in the area and getting assistance to community questions.
Joined Nextdoor at a different neighborhood. It was interesting to say the least. There were so many activities mentioned about what went on in the neighborhood. Lots of dog snatchers. While it's good to know where your pets are, many were great full.
Learn a lot from neighbors regarding services available. Only negative is how gossipy some postings are but like the ability to turn off certain people.
A lot of our local posts have devolved into ranting and long threads of bashing one neighbor's opinion or another's. Or fear about a brown person. Or someone who's suspicious because they don't "fit in". Or lots of "did your power go out?", "did you hear X sound?". Occasionally there is something of interest and informative but mostly you just get to see a lot of ugly fighting.
This application helps communicate happenings around our neighborhoods. It is excellent and MUCH appreciated!
The next door neighbor application is a great way to stay in touch with your neighbors. We can also share experiences with local services & share awareness.
I love Nextdoor! It gives you heads-up on prowlers, lost animals, stuff for sale, free stuff and more. It gives you a sense of community.
I've been using this website for a couple of years. It is a good way to disseminate information however, I cut back because of the personal advertisements.
Generally great. Only bad with political soap boxing or busy bodies. You guys are doing better on the former. Perfect site for reporting crime, finding pets and learning about good vendors. An invaluable service,
I was one of the original members from my subdivision, and have been credited with recruiting hundreds of new members. I promote Nextdoor because I see the value in neighbor contact and interaction. I marvel at the direction some threads take - some quite helpful, some loving, some mean-spirited. But, hey, we are a large neighborhood, full of interesting and diverse people, so that is what makes it so enjoyable and interesting.
Enjoy seeing whats going on in the neighborhood. Some neg & some pos. Also see some things for sale and information on garage sales.
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.
