Constant banning

It would be a great app but unfortunately it’s controlled by the unhinged people in San Francisco. I’ve been banned a bunch of times for saying normal things. See ticker NXDR to see how that’s working out

Suspended for Harmless Posts — Not Worth the Stress

⭐️☆☆☆☆

Nextdoor is absolutely not worth the frustration. The moderation on this app is terrible. Accounts get suspended over harmless posts, normal conversations, and things that other people post every single day without any problem. Meanwhile, when you try to appeal, you get the same generic response with no real explanation.

I’m sick and tired of feeling like you have to walk on eggshells just to post something. What is the point of a neighborhood app if people are afraid to interact because their account might randomly get suspended?

And I’m clearly not the only one. So many people complain about getting suspended or restricted for ridiculous reasons. The moderation feels inconsistent, unfair, and honestly exhausting.

The app seriously needs better moderators, clearer rules, and a system that actually looks at context instead of automatically punishing people.

At this point, it’s more stress than it’s worth. I would not recommend being part of this app

Put back “nearby” option for iPad

“Nearby” option removed from the iPad version makes it unusable. The whole idea of Nextdoor, was nearby neighbors, people don’t have time to engage with a greater area, it defeats the purpose. NextDoor, you are shooting yourself in the foot when you try to make ND too large! Put back “nearby”!

Trash

This full of scammer your account will be suspended for posting information

Worst ap ever created

Demonic scum

Used to be a great place to network until they got money hungry! Charging me to offer services

Deleting this app don’t even download it
Facebook groups is better and they aren’t money hungry

Moderator’s inconsistency

The moderators are soooo inconsistent and appear to have their own political agenda

Run by Israeli baby killer rats

Get rid of this app it’s run by racist baby killer none other then Israeli rats

Local is Best

Got small job done, very happy.

Bad app

I don’t know why the app blocked me many times, I think only because a person report only for Ofer a services small family business

Random unfair suspension

I have only had this app for a few months and just a few minutes ago I started joining local groups, making my
bio, and reaching out to sellers for things I wanted to buy. And then all the sudden I get suspended with no way to appeal. I am extremely disappointed as I wanted to find community and resources through this app. I would like my account back as this is very unfair. I barely even used the account…?

Feelings over facts

All this is, is twitter 2.0

Worst quick change up on platform

After many years, running a small business utilizing Nextdoor as word-of-mouth. As my customers would recommend to their neighbors how great we were. Now this month coming into September 2026 paying $140 a month. I’m getting the most absolute worst leads ever. And the leads I do get want to hear from their neighborhood not from someone who’s paying for Advertising. Was a really poor move and sad to come out of nowhere to take the word-of-mouth off the site completely. Charging neighbors with suspending their accounts for promoting our small businesses as promotion of commerce or service.

New policy is bad

You all should feel bad

Not Nextdoor

This app is for complaining! If you are looking for an app to meet neighbors this isn’t the app for that. It’s to post about dogs or complain about everyone else.

False, sensationalist alerts

“Officer involved shooting” and similar alerts alway show *your neighborhood*, even when the event is miles and miles away. Shameful fear mongering.

Terrible

They want to charge you over $89 a month to do a business account also they suspended me for no reason and it was unexpected as I only use the app to read my neighbors’ posts and to post free stuff . Very inconvenient app. When I tried to verify my location it gave me issues and did not let me back in. The whole page sucks especially if you are a small business trying to grow

Constantly breaks discussion threads

Nextdoor is fine, it’s whatever, but it’s sooooo annoying when it pops up with a reminder about politics and forcefully breaks threads to make them as confusing to follow as possible. Yes, my neighbors and I discuss local politics and will continue to do so, despite Nextdoor’s attempts to make it difficult.

Unmoderated, ganged up on, and...Mock for sharing experiences and selling things

Oh my God, what can I say about this app? It is full of toxic people: a playground full of bullies. This is definitely not the nice, neighbourly community I was looking for.

At first, when I posted about my food poisoning incident, not only did people doubt me, but someone even made a fake account pretending to be the business owner just to intimidate me and make me fearful about what I had shared.

Then, when I tried to sell a chair for a standard price (£100-£120), a price plenty of other people post at, they mocked my listing and my pricing. When I set boundaries and defended my post, they targeted me, claiming I was the rude one, while they were the ones gaslighting me, twisting my words, and backing each other up just to mock me.

This woman Lisa (with the collage) dog profile picture was commenting rudely, and Wendy (with no picture) was ganging up on me as well, all over something that had nothing to do with them. All they had to do was ask, "Are you open to offers?" and leave it at that. Instead, they just wanted to interrogate me and make me feel bad for even posting. To top it off, this guy Christian from Snodland was liking their comments because he was part of the same toxic gang.

The admins were never really there to de-escalate anything; the whole thing is just a toxic culture where everyone gets away with it without facing any consequences. Nextdoor is not a friendly local community app. It is more like Nextdoor bullying.
