Disagreements and conflict
We encourage members to have conversations about the issues that matter to them in a way that is constructive, civil, and builds community.
Don’t attack, berate, bully, belittle, insult, harass, threaten, troll, or swear at others or their views even if you really, really disagree with them. This includes communication within a group or via private message.
When conversations become heated, remember our overarching principle: "Everyone here is your neighbor. Please treat each other with respect."
You can, of course, think what you like, but on Nextdoor, conversations must remain civil. This is not always easy because we care passionately about the places we call home – our neighborhoods.
As one Nextdoor member has written, "If I can move past my knee-jerk, visceral reactions to statements I disagree with, I have a better chance to engage in dialogues that are meaningful." So, if you are angry about something a neighbor has said or done, take a deep breath, count to ten, and then come back to post something thoughtful and constructive.
