Nextdoor Reviews

An extremely vile and toxic platform that should be avoided. Dominated by bias, bullying and unfair moderation.

The potential to share community information. The potential to connect with neighbors. The ability to offer an informed opinion about issues of community interest.

Biased moderation from "Review Team" members pushes a political agenda. If you disagree you are automatically penalized for being "unkind and uncivil" even if you post news articles countering an agenda pushed by favored community members.

Non stop targeting by biased moderation even as a mod. Non stop right wing political trolling and conspiracy misinformation. Daily bigoted and racist post. I do not recommend this app for people of color, LGBTQ, minority groups, people from CA (they will be bashed relentlessly) or people with thin skin.

Connecting with some good people and making new friends. Learning of upcoming events or programs.

All too often, almost daily racist and bigoted posts appear. Extremely biased, often bigoted leads (mods) are given this position of power and use it to target individuals they don't agree with or approve by nonstop reporting and voting against their most civil and benign of post. Nextdoor support ignores the complaints against abusive moderators and takes no action. Meanwhile peoples accounts are suspended willy nilly for the most trivial and benign comments. Right wing extremism runs rampant on every subject from groceries to subjects like jet aircraft contrails being government chemtrails or the increase in mosquitoes is due to Bill Gates releasing infected mosquitoes. Conspiracy nonsense runs rampant. Nextdoor paranoia runs amok on any strange face in a neighborhood.

I tried to up posts that would interest people in my area such as how much my real estate assessment went up and how much my electric bill went up when we had a prolonged period of frigid arctic air. But their discipline people kept cutting off my ability to put up posts. This is in spite of the fact that they continually sent me emails telling me that I did "a good job". One email said a post had 4.2k views. A second 1.2k. A third over 900 and a fourth over 300.

You get an ability to have a few chats with locals.

The content is usually very boring. In my area it is mostly about bad contractors, people's barking dogs and similar things. Their ''discipline" people are extremely haphazard. You never really know what post they will or will not like.

Calling someone or the HOA a Karen who should mind their business is not disrespectful. Lots of people are called Karen's on Facebook and no one gets their account disabled on Facebook.

Telling someone who doesn't provide proof I'm wrong to provide proof isn't wrong either. 

Oh, and last and not least calling out Trump's mental health (or being anti Trump) isn't wrong considering that there's people that call out Biden's mental health and anti Biden on Nextdoor all the time. 

I've contacted the Institute for Free Speech and several local free speech lawyers. I didn't want to contact an attorney, but now you leave me no choice. Hopefully, we can settle this before we end up in court as those comments are mild considering the comments I've seen... 

Best regards,

Nothing. No pros about this app. Shouldn't have to put anything pros because there's no pros. It's all crap.

Censorship. I don't like their customer service. Jeffrey needs his eyes checked.

It's a bunch of gossip queens and kings talking about irrelevant occurrences in their lives it's basically a soap opera.

If your pet is lost would be the only reason to get on this app or if looking for a local contractor also they have a free and sale link but 90% of the free stuff isn't really free.

Liars, scam artist, busy bodies, bullies. This site is for people who should seek counseling but instead get on here and talk about nonsense it is a bunch of hypocrites and plastic humans acting like good neighbors. It's for those who have no life and have to communicate with anyone who will give them any kind of attention.
