Nextdoor Is Moving Contrary to Its Own Mission

Nextdoor was built on the promise of connecting neighbors and strengthening community conversation. But what I’m seeing now is the opposite.

As shown in my illustration, Nextdoor has effectively shut down all engagement on its own posts—no comments, no dialogue, no opportunity for the community to ask questions or share perspectives. When a platform that claims to thrive on neighbor-to-neighbor connection disables the very engagement it promotes, something is fundamentally off-mission.

A true community platform welcomes questions. It invites accountability. It encourages transparency.

Silencing engagement—whether through hidden posts, removed comments, or freezing conversations—doesn’t strengthen communities. It protects narratives. And it raises reasonable concerns about whether Nextdoor is prioritizing authenticity… or simply avoiding scrutiny.

A mission-driven company should never fear the voices of the people it claims to serve.
