I joined to let people know about our community library. My activity was welcoming newcomers and responding to requests for recommendations. I did one post questioning someone who was prolifi and very political. One of my “neighbors” wanted to know what part of the city I lived in. I did not respond! Next day I was booted.

I decided to change it using my real initials. The change was accepted. The next day they told me it was fake and disabled my account, and to get back on I could upload my DRIVER’S LICENSE. I said no way and asked them to delete my account with a confirmation. I bet they wont, but I’m glad they never got my real name or real phone number. I completely saw in 1994 how giving out any personal info online can be dangerous to any angry idiot or invasive big tech companies. No thanks. Not playing. EVER. I have no social media accounts if they require anything real. My right to my safety and privacy. Not anything to do with advertisements, which I have easily blocked, and clean cookies habitually, for years. I know how technology can track your location and isp with your IP address. I used to do this when tracking spammers. Use a VPN.
Aside from all that, ND is a replica of the same players you find on Twitter and Facebook. Just go meet your real neighbors and talk to them, or start a simple newsletter as I used to do before the time of social media. Social media keeps us locked down from real people and makes being rude and ugly easier for mentally undeveloped people.

There HAS to be some recourse for such un-American and draconian behaviors!.

I am very concerned about ND. I had similar experience with their helpline until I have informed them that I have reported to the police and IWF and I will start legal action for unlawfully holding and publishing my details. They have contacted me, they have sent me whatever terms I have agreed to, however they have deleted my account and I no longer receive emails from them. It is a nightmare and my belief is that their purpose is to collect personal data and use it for different purposes with no care about the users safety or community.

Is there anyone that I can contact besides the Leads in my neighborhood? I am being trolled and harassed by a neighbor and her friend is a Lead. Now I’m concerned that this Lead has my personal information and because they are just volunteers that they may not be held to any higher standard. How can I find out who sees my personal information?

WOW!! You LITERALLY just shared one of my biggest fears about Nextdoor. Especially lately when we are all so divided within the community. I’m very involved on current events…and passionate about my views and beliefs..like all of us are. ND has become such a tool of bias and spreading of others views and opinions. Because I won’t be intimidated and will stand strongly by my views I have been “scolded” by admins because my response was too hostile. I know I can’t prove it to you all but I’ve never attacked someone on ND. When I respond it is always with respect and courtesy. I don’t use vulgar language nor do I insult others. Let’s just say that I live in an area that has some very strong minded individuals that will shut me down at any opportunity. Their goal is to silence and censor me because I don’t agree with their views. While I’ve been called racist, bigoted, hateful, Nazi, etc….and yet their posts remain.
It used to be a great site. Especially if you lost your cat, came across an injured deer, need a cheap plumber, etc. It’s now bordering on something quite dangerous and the LEVEL of hate that has been directed to me most definitely gives me pause. Are they going to knock on my door and physically attack me or my family members? It’s going to happen ESPECIALLY in the direction our society is heading these days. Were you able to have them blocked permanently or file charges?? Unreal. I’m sorry that happened to you and I fully believe that ND has a responsibility to protect their members and when they have failed in doing so resulting in a horrific attack…..I hope someone uses them for everything that they have.
