Has anyone used NextDoor?
Has anyone used or is familiar with NextDoor?
I got a letter in the mail from someone in my neighborhood to sign up for NextDoor.
It is a "private online network" where you share "recommendations, items for sale, safety updates local events etc" Sounds interesting.
You have to sign up to even view it. I prefer to know what I am signing up for first, and become suspicious of data-mining.
Does anyone have experience with this site?
TIA

Our neighbor started it, its not too active, but it is legit. Lots of people asking for cleaning people and handymen. I think our town FB page is more helpful.

We got a letter for this, too. I assumed it was a scam and threw it out.

I did the same. I'll stick to the local FB groups.

They started small but then got flooded with ads. Nice to connect with neighbors.

It is very active where I live, but I don't live in NY. It is great for business/restaurant recommendations and info about area activities.

Same, very active where we live. Useful at times and the occasional drama keeps it interesting.

So, it's the same as the town FB groups?

Interesting. I just got a letter about it last week, too. I haven't signed up (yet) but it did pique my curiosity.

My town’s is so ridiculous I had to delete it. They act like every person coming to the door is a possible felon and police should be called.

bringing this back from the archives
How do they verify your information?
I don't have any social media (no Facebook, etc) so I am not familiar with this.
If its only for YOUR neighborhood, how do they verify it? Can I fake an address and sign up for a neighborhood I want to move into? (so I can see whats happening there, etc)
Thanks

Looks like they do it via your cell phone’s billing address.
I was on it for a little while but I left. It was more like “NextDoor to Karens” for me.

so if it goes by your billing address then you can't check out other neighborhoods.
Too bad

My neighborhood uses it. I can see other towns and respond to them.

lol. i love to watchpeople complain about every store thtat is going to open. 'Why do we need *that* in *this* neighborhood?!"
I didn't give my phone#- I used a code one the flyer I received. You do need to sign up with your real name & address--your full name & your neighborhood show to others. I don't think you can fake it. If you want to ask about a neighborhood, reddit might be better.
