📌

We built the new Nextdoor because we genuinely believe neighborhoods are the heart of everything! With more people working from home and spending time in their communities, we kept hearing the same frustrations from our users: neighbors were juggling multiple apps just to stay informed, missing critical safety updates, and asking the same local questions over and over. It felt fragmented and exhausting. What gets us incredibly excited about this launch is that we're the first platform to truly bring everything together in one place. While other apps focus on just one thing —weather, news, social — we're combining real-time safety alerts, stories from over 3,500 local publishers, and AI that actually learns from 14 years of neighborhood conversations. Imagine asking "where's the best place to hike with kids?" and getting an instant answer that's basically the collective wisdom of your entire community. But honestly, what we're most proud of is that this feels like coming home to our original vision. We're not just building another social app; we're creating the infrastructure for neighbors to build stronger, safer, happier communities together. When we see that we're now delivering over 50,000 locally relevant stories every week to 77% of US cities, and that our AI can turn years of neighbor conversations into helpful insights, it reminds us why we started this in the first place. Every neighborhood deserves to feel like home, and technology should make that easier, not harder.

Review Nextdoor?

Nextdoor has faced significant criticism from users, primarily due to its moderation practices. Many users report biased or inconsistent moderation, with some claiming that conservative voices are unfairly censored, while others argue that right-leaning moderators ban benign comments. The platform is described as toxic, with inadequate responses to reports of harassment and inappropriate content. Users also express frustration over technical issues and poor customer service, leading to a negative overall experience. The platform's handling of user reports and moderation is a common point of contention.

If I could give Nextdoor 6 stars I would. I've used this app since high school for my school newspaper to gather story ideas and sources in my neighborhood, and I still use Nextdoor regularly to check for updates in my community. I wish more social media apps could have a local focus like this.

The most toxic community Ive ever seen due to lack of balanced unbiased moderation. In the week that I tried the app I was attacked numerous times w/no moderator action until I started responding, then moderators hid my comments but left instigators comment? Also saw a post that endangered a public servant. Reported it for 4 days w/no moderation to it! So I reported them to Az Attorney Generals office and MCSO For the post. Finally they removed the 4 posts only to have the person Repost it 3 more times. Mods removed again but still no temp/permanent ban for the poster despite listing the name, place of employment, and libel/slanderous accusations and calling for her to be terminated!? Thats illegal nowadays, yet they refused to moderate it until I reported them for not doing so. So after that I was targeted for several days before I filed an FCC report for the targeted retaliatory harassment for filing the reports. The next day my acct was temp. suspended for public shaming allegations. The posts they claimed were public shaming had no names, any groups, or identifying remarks of who its supposedly shaming? I told them to F off and cancel the account and that I hope the government fines and/or eventually shuts them down! They claim to want you to file reports for moderation yet I have proofthat I turned in a whole post that contained someone making racist remarks, public shaming, disrespect, and name calling! He has the same first name so I told him to stop as I hadnt said anything and everyone was geting mad at me because of him? Moderatirs ignored the whole post, except my comment to him which they hidand called public shaming! Yet the racist remarks were still there after I requested 2 reviews!Total absolute failure to moderate their application and create a safe environment for its users! Dont waste your time/sanity... I looked for reviews on the BBB website and they have hundreds of complaints lodged for the same exact issue of moderation being biased or non-existant!
