From NEXTDOOR policy.
“…We stand in solidarity with neighbors advocating for racial justice and those speaking out against hate. These issues are relevant in neighborhoods everywhere -- that’s why we allow conversations in support of Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, and other movements that advocate for racial equality and civil rights anywhere on Nextdoor as long as they adhere to our community guidelines.
Content posted in opposition or as a rebuttal to support for racial equality is counterproductive and harmful. We ask that neighbors be mindful of engaging constructively in discussions on these issues. While neighbors are free to disagree in civil ways about the policies or tactics advocated by equality movement organizers and supporters, posts and comments intended to undermine their core messages of equality are prohibited. For these reasons: Content promoting “All Lives Matter” is prohibited when it’s used to diminish racial equality, the Black Lives Matter movement, or Stop Asian Hate. Content promoting “Blue Lives Matter” is prohibited when it’s used to diminish racial equality or the Black Lives Matter movement, but permitted when used to honor, celebrate, or thank the police for work done in a community.

Their community guidelines expressly prohibits support of:
Blue Lives matter And All Lives Matter Their policy also specifically does not tolerate criticism of: Black Lives Matter And Stop Asian Hate And Social Justice (unless they decide it’s acceptable)
They also expressly prohibit any discussion of “white supremacy” groups. Well that’s acceptable , I have never supported the KKK etc, but guess what their definition of a white supremacy group is?
“… lists compiled by organizations such as the U.S. State Department, Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Anti-Defamation League ..”.
OH yes far left , Marxist riddled SPLC and ADL are the basis for their definition of equality and their guidelines.
There is even more, the links go on. For example I noticed talk of “equity” on their community guidelines.
Another example: “ any ambiguity in light of last week’s violent events in Washington D.C.”. (Jan 6).
Of course no mention is made of riots in Milwaukee where many business were burned down/looted or Portland where many acts of violence on innocents occurred or even the Fender al Courthouse that was set on fire by ANTIFA. But they specifically cite Jan 6 in their policy as an example.
I was on Nextdoor for about a week. It was a bunch of people either complaining about someone mowing their lawn too early on a weekend or people looking for free stuff.
Soviet kibbutz, commune, gulag, ghetto.
Not a chance I would join any platform like this.
I’ve had comments censored on there, really just innocuous observations about the explosion of homeless people in our neighborhoods here in L.A. Nothing combative, just the facts. Censored. Yes, the algorithm is very “woke”.
The site is also very hard to navigate, and at least a third of the posts are about lost dogs or cats, or people selling things.
They also outlaw any comment not totally in line with CDC/WHO on masks, vax, $$Pharm, mandates, lockdowns, etc. There are screaming harpies insisting that their experience in healthcare (probably bedpans) means they can decide what YOU can say on anything related to this subject.
They are an outfit dedicated to censoring folks. A pack of bullies.
Avoid woke Nextdoor, that’s my best advice
Yes and they “pounce” in a group I’ve noticed.
Almost like they are trained.
!$!@#$!$#$!@$ these NextDoor bastards!
2 years ago I was banned by these virtue-signalling bastards when a “neighbor” (these people ARE your real neighbors, and they know your name because that’s required with difficult work-around) tattled on me for opposing his statement that all they had to do was tattle on all of us to get us suspeneded (I’ve also gone through that) and banned, exactly so it would only be they on ND and they could have their echo chamber!
So the actual ND out of CA cancelled me, and didn’t like my letter asking why (they did copy what was written) and that I told them all they were doing was cancelling people who don’t agree and libeling us as “hateful”, “violent”, “instigators”, whatever.
I could come back on after XX days (like 3 months) if I agreed to be a good girl.
I basically stated, no thanks. Never been back. Now I want my DH to please drop out with this blatant back-handed libel on anyone who isn’t communist.
Ironically they mostly out themselves in their own bigotry of others as well as express astonishing ignorance of civics. My wife joined it and the stuff they jabber on about is horrifying.
Hive behavior. Go in & stir up the hive mentality by calling them as such.
Exactly you are required to use your actual name.
I was on Nextdoor for a week or so. All they were doing was spamming me. Took me about a month or more to unsubscribe from about 10 different mailing lists. I still get an occasional one that I have to deal with.
My kids told me about this app, and I said no thanks. I know the neighbors on my street and a few streets over some. My husband and I walk through our neighborhood daily. Often we are stopped and people chat with us. We manage to help each other out more, because we know each other.
Granted, I live in Mayberry, and that’s the way people used to do things. “Mayberry - it’s not a place, it’s a state of mind.” - Mayberry Man
Our Nextdoor is mostly people advertising lawn care or housecleaning. It's redeeming value is letting everyone know when a new store is opening or an old one closing.
NEXTDOOR has been bad news for a long time.
Real estate brokers actually send us letters encouraging is to join because they’ve created a “neighborhood page”. No thanks.
I have a few stories. Managed to be on there for maybe 5 years, if that.
One of the last ridiculous schadenfreude things I experienced (and I didn’t get in trouble) was when a BLACK couple complained about a strange, likely mental guy following them around our lake trail. They had the temerity to describe him as “Hispanic”.
They were raked over the coals by some idiots for daring to even guess he might be Hispanic, and of course even if they were correct it would be awful! It was OK to say he was insane, or even just homeless, but Hispanic? OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!
I and some other chimed in that there is nothing wrong trying to describe the person for safety’s sake, and if anyone might recognize him and report him to police. This was what the black (victim) woman was defending with, too.
For all I know, this woman and her husband end up banned. (I did not get banned or suspended due to this discussion.)
It’s absurd what people are like around here, and on most Internet places. ND is CA-based, I think SanFran, so there you go.
Almost similar I have another story about a thread over a man soliciting(?) in my mother’s very neighborhood. Hilarious and disgusting how people are talking about others. But they sure don’t like if you talk race!
Memphis put it on steroids. The city has a Dial 311 line to rat out your enemies for investigating. They even made up their own court with their own judge. It’s like a social network HOA. Their enforcement arm is by using city code enforcement. “Show me a conservative and I will find you a code violation”
Lots of woke Karens on Nextdoor, for sure.
I don’t use it.
