Curious to hear how Nextdoor is positioning itself to compete with other players and especially, Facebook. I'm considering an offer from them. I can see how Facebook can integrate the whole neighborhood, but curious to hear thoughts from peeps who work at Nextdoor. Thanks!

  • The last time I used nextdoor, my neighbors were getting ready to go full mob on a "suspicious looking" guy that was reported to be waking around the neighborhood. Turned out he was a contractor working on a house nearby and on his way to get a burrito down the street. Uninstalled and deleted my account immediately after.

    If nextdoor is already capable of contributing to the unravelling of society via technology at current scale, I think they will compete well with Facebook in the future

    • Last time I used my MasterCard, someone stole my information and charged me 🎄fiddy. The interest quickly compounded and now I’m stuck forever paying back the money I never had. If MasterCard is already capable of contributing to the unraveling of society via technology at current scale...

      Those unfortunate situations happen on our platform, but they are the exception, not the rule. A lot of good comes from the platform. I use it to to stay connected to the neighborhood.

  • They could wipe us, yelp, thumbtack, CL, and many other players in local out. But they have too many products to make something coherent without revamping everything. The reason why we continue to compete is because we have a tailor made product for neighbors, local businesses, and local agencies. Don't get me wrong, they're still a formidable enemy but we didn't see Match Group disappear after FB dating launched. I doubt we will either.

  • NextDoor and LinkedIn are the two worst apps to use out there. I support anyone’s effort to shut one or both of them down.

  • Nextdoor really needs a new product leader - it’s a shitty feed, marketplace is trash, and there is nothing else that people want to use it for
