Nextdoor

An incredibly obnoxious business. Once they have your email address they will not stop bombarding you with messages. 6 months of attempts to unsubscribe from their rubbish. They require you to ‘opt out’ individually on each of their 50 or more of invented categories of messages. I was finally able to stop the messages late last year and guess… Read more

what ….. they have now ignored the opt out and started them again. I strongly recommend you do not have anything to do with this business.

I contributed to a post and Marie T responded very rudely that I should read the posts more thoroughly because my opinion had already been stated. I responded that I was just having my say and she responded that I was petulant , then cut my subscription off. Very, very sad Marie!

This app is too far left wing leaning. People with a different opinion to the left get bullied and harassed and if you give a diplomatic answer with no hate speech in it you are likely to be warned by nextdoor bots. That you now have to give facial recognition before you can get access is laughable. Also, they have banned under 16s. Most of them were kids just looking for work. I cannot support a biased app like this.

Issue with my bill – I was so happy with my service today. The staff are very helpful and understanding. Solved my issue with no problem thank you for all your help. Im glad to use your service. Show reply

A helpful service – A great way for neighbours to keep in touch, share information and ask questions. It has been particularly helpful for many people concerning lost pets, reporting crime and recommendations for tradespeople.

Our community brought closer – This community based project has brought such a positive feeling to our close neighbourhood. During covid so many people offered their help and since then our community spirit has been lifted by all the wonderful posts. Information of event, both good and bad have been brought to our attention and where necessary, given us helpful safety information but in the main I just love the feel good feeling of our neighbourhood community.

I’m very disappointed with how Nextdoor has handled a recent situation. I submitted a genuine report about a member who was repeatedly posting the same content, clearly spam, and did so in good faith, expecting the platform’s rules and confidentiality policies to be respected. Instead, the local lead, Lou Cook from Springfield, appeared to breach… Read more

the confidentiality of my report. They made a public post that indirectly exposed me and encouraged others to report me in retaliation. This behavior goes against everything a community platform should stand for, respectful discussion, privacy, and fair moderation. I’ve received no response or follow-up from the Nextdoor team despite reaching out. This lack of accountability and transparency is troubling. Reports should be handled privately and not turned into public shaming. I expected more from a platform that claims to promote safe and supportive neighborhoods.

Awful, unbalanced, lost platform where small blokey right wing business owners get together and congratulate each other, and diverse issues of concern or customer safety are bullied off. There is no effective oversight, honest and open communication is discouraged, its a waste of everyone’s time.

They are so bad they have to buy peoples data to try and get more folks to sign up – Scammers that only protect themselves. They bought my data from someone and then told me according to US privacy laws they can’t tell me who they bought it from. I never signed up for this stupid thing and yet got marketed to. Which over here in Aus is illegal. Also I am in fact entitled to know who it was that sold my data. If in fact anyone did… Read more

legally sell it to them. They just send unsolicited rubbish to folks asking them to sign up and this person has asked to be in the local neighbourhood. I’ll be talking to my lawyers over in the US and also finding out what rights I do in fact have in the US.

They shut my account with out warning – This app is full of Opinionated, people. Most conversation.turn nasty. They decide what conversation they allow. They shut me down for changing my name because i started to feel unsafe. They gave me no warning when i have a business account on there as well,there no safety features to block people from seeing your page. You can’t delete unwanted… Read more

comments, people put links under item ur selling to direct people away from your item. A lot of chats are people complaining about what other people do in life. People are always telling you not to do something instead of just scrolling.

Started out ok, then down hill fast – Joined a few years ago, started out well but the last year or so the comments, posts, messages went downhill fast. Very average, would not recommend.

Banned from Nextdoor after voicing bullying and racism shouldn’t be tolerated – There’s been much racist content recently and other posts posting photos and bullying members of the public on Nextdoor. When I expressed my disgust with such racist and bullying content, I got suspended from Nextdoor. The leads and website admin tolerate this, the website is full of people who don’t have friends in real life and post racist and bullying content on Nextdoor for attention.

No Moderation, Useless and Boring – I signed up to Nextdoor in 2021, I haven't used it much but lately I've been having a look. They keep putting up "surveys" which are quite specific, clearly they are doing this on someone's behalf but any questions asked are met with a cut and paste reply. They are evasive, unprofessional, will not define their purpose and none of the features work - don't sign up to this appalling bunch.

Useless and boring – There was nothing here of any use, nothing informative & anyone who tries to have a serious discussion about anything is strongly opposed and/or blocked. I don’t believe this is an unbiased independent forum. Avoid it like the plague.

SPAM - WARNING STAY AWAY DO NOT SIGN UP – Appalling app. Once they have your email address you will be spammed with endless rubbish. it is impossible to stop them spamming you. Unsubscribing does not work.

Sign up process doesn't accept new mobile numbers starting with 049 – So disappointed that the sign-up process doesn't accept new mobile numbers starting with 049....

Bad moderation and appeal – The problem with Nextdoor is that it is poorly moderated. I posted a post paying respect to the the Indigenous Australian community during NAIDOC week (screenshot attached). That was removed for being racist. I also had a post in which I copied and pasted from an Australian government website stating workers compensation is compulsory for all… Read more

businesses and without it a business can get fined or jail time. That was also removed for being offensive. I also saw a girl get a comment removed for posting how earthquakes are formed. I was suspended recently for providing a member advise on dealing with hoarding and organisation. You cannot win on Nextdoor, don’t bother advertising your business there, you’ll be banned for the wrong reasons.

Tried multiple times to unsubscribe - still getting them – Another email arrived today - GMail now treats them as SPAM automatically which is interesting. "timberau you've got 20+ messages"/ I have repeatedly unsubscribed via the link, and the webpage has confirmed this. I haven't been unsubscribed, still getting emails. Have a 1* review on PR for not unsubscribing me, despite repeated attempts to do so.

Name calling, lying about posts and making false allegations about me by a Lead – I was shocked to find some posts from this Lead. I have had numerous and serious problems with in the past, I had blocked him so I don't even know how I came to see them, but they were very upsetting and made me look bad. He even made up this post how I listed a picture of rubbish on someone's verge and he was angry because he tried to message me… Read more

and I refused to answer him and he was upset because he felt, being such a great person, that he could have made a dog kennel out of it! I have no idea what he is talking about, I posted no such thing just as I didn't block him from some FB site that he also implied. I'm at a loss as to why he has attacked me like this, and my complaint barely raised anything with the Support Team, and he still remains a Lead! Is this the type of person that should be one? This is not the first time he has done this either. He makes himself out to be such a do-gooder, but he's a know all know nothing, just quotes lots of links which anyone can do. I've already reported him to DHS for serious breeches of the disability protocols.

Can't stop nuisance emails – No matter how I adjust my notification preferences, this idiotic mob keeps sending me email notifications. I wish they had an unsubscribe button from all. I'm cancelling my account now. They'll still find a way to badger me no doubt. An invasive and (for me) largely pointless website.

Globalisation – Recently I had my account inactivated due to posting a Youtube video which wasn't made by me but according to Next it was misleading information. If it was misleading I'm sure Youtube would of removed video. I thought it was useful information in which no negative feedback that I could see. Nextdoor should open their minds up as this affects all of us.

Nextdoor Australia – Not recommended purpose not clearly defined. Poor guidelines Poorly moderated with a lot of junk posted and annoying emails. Features do not work eg reporting blocking mute for unwanted regular posts. Unable to see who posts likes

Nextdoor - really hard to unsubscribe – Have spent the last week trying to unsubscribe from their emails. Unless you know your log in details (which I don't because I have not found membership to be useful) you can only unsubscribe from the particular type of email they sent that day (eg 'digest'). As a result you keep receiving emails. All reputable email services provide an 'unsubscribe all' option. Nextdoor does not provide this option.

I tried to change my name but keep getting error messages – I tried to change my name but I keep getting error messages. What do I need to do to change my name please? I need to type 30 words in this review.

Bad selection of leads in the Hills area – I’m part of the Baulkham Hills community. The leads are terrible. There’s much biased leads on the website. I literally have said nothing on the website this week and continue to get warnings! Even a post defaming a local church wasn’t even removed.

Beware!!! – This is a quote from Nextdoor..."You can, of course, think what you like, but on Nextdoor, conversations must remain civil..." This was in regards to a complete ban on Covid talk.

Nice idea but – Ignoring other reviewers misconduct concerns - not sure I've seen definite signs of it. The "send on behalf" of thing was pretty plain on sign up so... BUT it's noisy as hell with notifications: needs summary or frequency options to limit to once day or week & only send a summary; needs GLOBAL option to turn off ALL notifications & then go in &… Read more

only enable the ones you want. The OTHER big concern I have is more to do with user behaviour - I've seen numerous posts with private phone & addresses; not a great idea on such a open forum. Seems it really needs more upfront warnings about that sort of thing on sign up.
