I joined nextdoor a few years ago. I didn't have to provide anything except my physical address. Of course, with any social media, you get jerks who can't find tactful or mature ways to communicate. Nextdoor is no exception.

But I think it's wrong for an org to have their presence hosted on facebook or nextdoor, they are severely limiting their accessibility.

I looked into nextdoor years go when I started getting flyers for it.
I know that some people like it, but I really didn't like that fact that in 
order to join you had to provide the email addresses of all your family and 
friends.  That made me really suspicious of it.
There is a large neighborhood near me that was started but never finished.  It 
has paved roads, but no houses.
So I created a bunch of throw away email addresses and picked a fake address in 
the middle of this neighborhood and joined nextdoor.
I was not that surprised to see all the 'lost dog' and 'babysitter wanted' ads 
in the middle of the non-existent neighborhood.

Later on I saw a bunch of articles about vicious online attacks from people 
using it.

I don't know, maybe they've cleaned up their act, but I'm no longer interested.

 Similar to fbook, you have to join nextdoor to view their group.
 That hurdle plus that it is likely locally focused to the san
 francisco ca area, deters me from pursuing further.
