Nextdoor

I recently joined this app (Meridian Idaho) at the request of a neighbor, and noticed immediately that my account was being targeted specifically because I expressed conservative views with other conservative members who were also being targeted and in the three days that I had my account almost every comment or personal post that I had up was targeted by Next Door leads/volunteers in Meridian, Idaho I found out today that my account got suspended for no reason they say that they give you the right to appeal but when you click on the appeal button, it does not work is all about prejudice, opinions, and illegal bullying and censorship of conservative views.

After reading through numerous reviews and personal experiences, it's evident that Nextdoor has left many customers dissatisfied and frustrated. Issues ranging from arbitrary post removals to biased moderation have tarnished the platform's reputation. Users have expressed concerns about censorship, discrimination, and lack of support. It's disheartening to see a community platform fail to uphold transparency and fairness. Considering the overwhelming negative feedback, it's clear that Nextdoor has significant improvements to make in order to regain trust and credibility among its users.

Nextdoor is poorly run untrustworthy.

We were victim of a crime. I posted to warn neighbors and see if anyone had info on the perpetrators. Next door removed the post. Punished me for all the incoming posts that agreed the perpetrators were trespassing. I received a lot of good suggestions before they shut my account down. And Nextdoor aloerf the perpetrators mothers to stalk and harass myself and neighbor. Why didn’t Nextdoor protect us.

They allowed them to bully us online.

Everyone should boycott Nextdoor app

Please boycott Nextdoor. They are uncaring to the public

I commented to this person who was basically robbed by distraction by three guys who had heavy accents in their English. I simply said this is what happen when you have open border. The ND first decided to remove my comment saying it was discriminatory and less than 6 hours later blocked me from commenting for a month for being discriminatory. With over two years of opened borders by this administration, with also numerous stories of many criminals caught were all new illegal aliens. But not particularly Spanish speakers, many were from other Africa and Asian Countries. So my comment was not directed at a particular race. But only illegal aliens. So the NextDoor were the one being discriminatory. They were the one being racist. Then of course they deny me to make an appeal by making the appeal button inoperable. They always have a habit of leaning in support of all type of criminals by using the term of discriminatory. However in turn they’re discriminatory to law abiding people that was just making a comment.

They are blatantly biased in their removal of content and encourage one belief system to troll the other by deleting content from only one side, leads speaking on behalf of the troll. Eventually strangers (to me maybe friends of the activist and/or lead) joined the thread and started trolling as well. They tied a direct response to a post that was based on logic alone to my political beliefs and then extended it to my Christian beliefs. I have evidence of many very derogatory remarks attacking my religion (based on speculation or the fact that I wear a cross...broad stroke accusations that were wildly inaccurate about both my political beliefs and religious beliefs) comments that remained while reasonable rebuttals were removed. There were a lot of "you people" epithets etc. People started sending private messages that they shared the same experience. I started downloading the content of my interactions on nextdoor.com and got blocked.

Every time I support something or talk about anything that’s pro conservative or bad for the Democrats I get banned. This is a liberal app. They don’t let you say nothing that you any facts that will help. The people understand understanding who their candidate is next-door isn’t allowed to post that but they’ll let the liberals post anything

This person is stating that we are withholding employee tips, which is untrue. We only removed the tip line from our CC processing for our counter service customers. Any tips that are received through CC processing previously and in the future are 100 percent given to employees and they are allowed to accept cash tips. She also states in the comments the business is closing which is also untrue.

We have a complaint of harassments, bullying and discrimination from A Next-Door Reviewer that has targeted our account. Every time we post anything it is flagged and removed. There is nothing offensive about posts concerning church or fashion. Please the attached. Our family is being discriminated against because we are Christians. ;We are asking that our post be reinstated and Shelly be fired as a reviewer. As you can see from the attach posts there is nothing offensive. Your Reviewer falsely claim that I called my neighbors demons when my post didn't contain any such words. In fact how is Shelly assuming that these posts are neighbors when you can't see anyone's face and I never said who these people for all she knows these are my friends or family members. Are your reviewers physic? Thus is an abuse of power and you is probably one of the neighbors that have been harassing me and my family in the neighborhood. She sure has a lot of information on a post that is limited in detail and you can't see anyone's face.

Nextdoor's support group accused my wife of "Discrimination" because she used the term "third world" in its original meaning of not part of the East or West. There is a new use of this term by young people that is considered to have negative implications for a country. This is clearly a case of agism because they feel that only the way young people use words is the only correct way that they can be used.

NextDoor owes her an apology for this.

This site is left leaning, and you will get your account closed down without a good reason. Some speech police will decide if you broke their rules even if you did not. My post was taken down and I was called a racist only by stating a description of the guy I saw who committed a crime before me being of a darker skin! This site will suspend your account just for having a posing view or stating known FACTS on a subject but freely let someone on the left state unproven facts that fit their narrative. Trampling ALL OVER the first AMENDMENTS this is not only wrong its illegal, and discriminant's AGAINST the author who wrote it.

I'm not sure why my account was disabled. I tried to log in and couldn't. I subsequently got a pop-up that said the account was temporarily disabled due a violation. Of what? It is not specified. All I can think of is this: A new member posted she had purbred kittens for sale. She said adoption fee required. That contemplates breeding to me as the kittens are purebreed. So, I couldn't message her to tell her it's not allowed because the site stated 'member not in my neighborhood'. So I posted this "Breeders are not allowed on here." As far as I know, asking for fees for animals is not allowed. How do I get my account back. I also have a business listed with the same email address and can't access that either. Thanks for your help.

On Monday Oct 9,2023 I posted on Nextdoor. My Post said Prayers for Israel. On Tuesday Oct 10,2023 Nexdoor said "Your post was hidden". It was reported for breaking a community guideline. It was considered a non-local topic outside of a group. The public feed is reserved for your community to connect on local topics. Are you kidding me? I am a Jewish woma (last name is Rosenberg) and I am outraged. ND has committed discrimination and racism. I made another post on Oct 10,2023 and let the neighbors and our Jewish community know that we were not important. Apparently one of the moderators is extreme with his hate of Israel. He posted a comment on my feed and then another post above my post. When I called it out yesterday Oct 10 ND disabled my account. This guys name is Joseph Brandsen-Pheasa. His comment was The USA and Israel have created these "terrorist"[ groups (Al Qaeda, Hamas, et al.) He then goes on about Operation Cyclone. I have all the screen shots. This has made me physically ill and I'm a little terrified that this radical extremist is a moderator for Nextdoor and possibly knows where I live. I am beside myself. I have reported this to the ADA and I wil;l report it to every social media outlet and news stations across the country if ND does not take care of this immediately and can assure my safety. I can't sleep, eat and have been crying for 2 days. Austin TX

This email was sent on 16/9/23 to support:

"My account has been disabled for the second time and I now suspect that moderators on Next Door are colluding with certain individuals who have been planted to create disruption and chaos to real residents in diverse neighbourhoods with their genuine lines of discussion and debate.

They paraphrase, take screenshots and 'like' each others' posts as a means to intimidate and agitate. I am a longstanding subscriber of Next Door and in 2018 I founded a bin campaign on Next Door which ultimately attracted a 12000 + following. Although not everyone was in favour of my ideas there was no acrimony and I continued to participate in other posts. However following a disabling issue for no apparent reason on an LTN post, I returned to the forum as a viewer rather than an active participant because I was nervous about saying anything that might cause a repeat even though I have no idea why I had been disabled in the first place.

JC H from London England ( although he is based in Highbury Islington) and Valentina P from Alexander Park have recently become visible in my neighbourhood even though they live in another part of North London. Valentina P uses paraphrasing and screenshots when responding to others. Her passive aggressive, interrogative style of constantly asking for evidence and dismissing replies goes against everything Next Door guidelines profess to endorse. There is an undercurrent of extreme unpleasantness in her comments and many I know, have now abandoned Next Door for fear of being humiliated.

Today it just felt that she had gone too far with her jibes and I posted a comment about how much I disliked the atmosphere on the post. She immediately tagged me saying I was talking about her and I pointed out that her conscience must've been acting. She clearly didn't like that and bgan a thread which perhaps I should've ignored but I didn't and now my account has been inexplicably disabled.

All of her posts are 'liked' by JC H who also happens to be a moderator for areas outside his own and is a keen car hater and eco warrior. It is unbelievable that someone with such a biased world view should be empowered to act as a neutral resident on the highly charged subject of Low Traffic neighbourhoods. If you don't want people discussing the state of their local roads on your forum then at least have the decency to publicly state that fact. Allowing someone the opportunity to use a forum like Next Door with its genuine followers, solely as a soapbox for their idealistic philosophy is perhaps a little disingenuous.

Ultimately it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. Provided it remains a debate. I used no foul language, I wasn't rude or blatantly disrespectful. I didn't humiliate or degrade. I merely questioned her questions. Valentina P is well known on Next Door for her derisory tactics so I couldn't possibly have done anything that was unfamiliar or upsetting.

Yet still I have been disabled. Clearly Valentina P's wingman JC H has made a decision.

Hence my email.

Please have the courtesy to respond. But don't ask JC H for advice.

"Hi Helen,

Thanks for contacting us regarding your account.

Your access to Nextdoor has been disabled due to a violation of our Community Guideline: Be respectful to your neighbours.

A review of your account shows that your access was previously disabled for this or other policy violations on the following dates:

20/4/2023

1/2/2023

10/1/2023

Following each violation, we referred you to the guidelines before reinstating your account. The purpose of Nextdoor’s Community Guidelines is to ensure that our community is a welcoming and neighbourly environment for all neighbours.

Because you have a history of repeated guidelines violations, in the interest of the community, we are disabling your account indefinitely.

Although your account is not eligible for reinstatement in the near future, you may contact us in a year to request a reconsideration of this decision.

Best,

Nicholas

Nextdoor"

and I have replied:

Dear Sir/Madam

So let me be quite clear. You disabled my account due to three historic ’violations‘ which still have never been identified and my account had already been disabled until the end of 5/23. At that point I decided to reinstall the app as described in my email and rejoined Next Door.

Either you are confused or you have been ill advised. A friend of mine who was also targeted by the same moderator experienced exactly the same error caused by you. Please don’t patronise me and flatter yourself by suggesting I would be interested in reinstatement in a year. If you are unable to offer a clearer explanation of why my account has been disabled then I shall have to seek further advice elsewhere

I helped to found Next Door DC and have served as a moderator for 16 years. I wrote an entry about the increase of crime and lawlessness in DC. Someone objected and my account was disabled for a month. There was no notification or due process including the right to defend. They state my entry violated their illusory guideline of "being nice to your neighbor." They refuse to state what word or phrase is objectionable so I can avoid using it in the future.

[protected] Spear Street, SF, CA 94105 [protected]@NextDoor.com

This website allowed a group of stalkers to publicly defame me when I was documenting my organized stalking case. I have to snap pictures of their illegal stalking behavior, but it allowed a stalker to complain about me doing this legal act. It allowed people her friends, who weren’t my neighbors to imply I was a criminal, mentally unstable, a thief, and that anyone who came across me should pack a gun and carry pepper spray merely because I took pictures. They tried to get to community to take pictures of me, post them, dox me, yell at me, and automatically assume I was a criminal simply because I am a victim of targeted harassment.

I've been a moderator on nextdoor.com for a number of years and am now going to delete my account. The reason being, they don't back up their mods nor do they pay attention to what's going on i.e. mods don't follow guidelines and rule on reported content from their own feelings/opinions. This is leading to censorship, bullying by mods themselves and one sided points of view. Add to that, most of their moderator "training" is full of woke, marxist ideology rather than common sense solutions on how to handle reported content to bring the community together.

I was recently suspended for three days for stating an opinion about another members comments and for agreeing with another member who pointed out the hypocrisy of some members comments. My comment to him was simply "Hypocrisy abounds". This was one example they used to justify a suspension. Another member berated and belittled a fellow moderator who asked a simple and valid question. This member not only called for the moderator to be fired but then created a new post complaining specifically about said moderator. Don't know if that member faced review or received a suspension because I can't get into my account to see. I did read that he wished bad things to happen to the other moderator and myself.

I've included screenshots of a conversation with support that clearly shows they are not prepared to give clear and concise answers/reasons to questions about being suspended. Instead, they give vague answers while hiding behind their guidelines...which is NOT an acceptable way to respond. Further, in the email from support the person states that they previously warned me about the comments I made a day before I questioned the suspension. I did not receive any such notification/warning as the suspension occurred the same day the comments were posted. So either this person is confused or just outright lying.

Complaint about Reviewer Serafim Reppas

Date: 8/24/2023

The liberal Reviewer Serafim is constantly harassing me and calling me derogatory names. It is downright abusive and it’s online stalking.

Many of posts and comments get censored without cause. Conservatives myself and others are constantly being targeted. Nextdoor is not a safe space for a woman.

It was shocking to join the NextDoor Cape May, NJ online community and almost immediately feel bullied for offering a one-sentence support of a community official. It was the Review Team Lead that was dominating all discussion forums and arguing with those who had different opinions. I defended someone who was being targeted with verbal attacks and then I also became the victim of constant harassment, bullying, insults and ridicule. In addition to the Team Lead, there were at least three other Review Team members conducting the bullying (behaving like followers of the Team Lead) and most were seniors, retirees, old people in their 70's, which was shocking.

Some people complained about their neighbors, providing an exact location of the home, and then others stated that they were willing to go over there and harass that neighbor. The Lead and Review Team did not remove these posts or comments, although requests were made. A neighbor exposed violence occuring at a restaurant, and comments focused on attacking that whistleblower. Nothing was done to remove threatening comments.

It is a very toxic, hostile and dangerous site and either the Lead and Review Team needs to be replaced, or that discussion forum needs to be shut down.
