My family and I had terrible experiences using Nextdoor.

We were already used to seeing hateful and bigoted comments on Facebook, especially in various local groups, but the behavior on Nextdoor took things to another level. I was genuinely surprised to see people acting that way so openly.

I initially tried using Nextdoor to address a problem in our neighborhood. People were constantly running the stop sign in front of our home. What should have been a simple discussion turned into a huge ordeal, to the point where I felt the need to install additional security cameras out of concern for retaliation from others in the neighborhood.

Nextdoor is a hotbed of homicidal motorists, among other categories of terrible people. Often the murder-drivers are also the "community moderator". Overall the site is terrible.

I had to get the police involved, but they weren’t much help. So, I went directly to the mayor. He was very understanding and had a personal connection to my neighborhood—his grandmother had built the very first house there.

That same afternoon, after our conversation, he had officers stationed in a spot where they could monitor the stop sign. On the very first day, they issued nine tickets.

This all happened after I had already been threatened on Nextdoor—just for answering a question about identifying a repeat offender.

Someone had asked me to list the vehicles I frequently saw running the stop sign, so I did. One neighbor responded, “A silver F-150? You’ll have to be more specific than that—there are at least five silver F-150s in this neighborhood.”

So, I clarified and said, “It’s the silver F-150 with the Trump bumper sticker on the right side.”

I should have never said that. People immediately took it as an attack on Trump and his supporters. What followed was a wild few months.
