The Tennessee Conservative [By Kelly M. Jackson] –
Nextdoor, the popular social networking platform, has expelled the Hamilton County Tennessee Chapter of Moms For Liberty after some users in their area complained to the platform.
This ban coincided with the addition of the parent’s group to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list and “Hate Map” of extremist terrorist and hate groups alongside groups like the KKK.
When looking at Nextdoor’s website, a few things stand out.
First is where the company is located – It is headquartered in San Francisco, a city well-known as a center for woke mentality in the U.S.
Second, on their Hate and Terror Groups page, they provide links to the websites they use to determine which groups should and shouldn’t include on their platform.
In addition to the SPLC’s list, they also include links to other resources such as the U.S. State Department and the ADL.
However, compared to the SPLC, the other two website have actual terrorist and hate groups with one glaring exception – Antifa. Despite burning down most of urban America during the summer of 2020 along with several factions of BLM, neither group are listed as a hate or terrorist group.
But Moms For Liberty, who have never burned down anything, make the SPLC’s list.
In fact, every chapter of Moms For Liberty in Tennessee is listed. Along with all the other chapters all over the country.
However, on Nextdoor’s Hate and Terror Group’s page, they give specific examples of those they consider hate groups.
Here are some of the selections: “Examples of hate groups banned by Nextdoor include: American Nazi Party, KKK, Three Percenters, the New Black Panther Party, the boogaloo movement, and Proud Boys.”
In a recent report, the Chapter Chair for the Hamilton County Moms For Liberty group, Tonya Dodd had this to say about the incident:
“As a mom and former teacher in the community who cares deeply about the future of our children, I think it is ironic that a company that aims to bring communities together has targeted a large group of our community members by canceling us. We cannot communicate with our community, they canceled us using the list from SPLC, which falsely suggests we belong among truly hateful and terror groups like the KKK,” Dodd added. “That’s the exact opposite of what we truly are.”
On the SPLC website, they have an interactive map that shows the amount of what they call “hate flyers/propaganda” being proliferated in every state and what groups are mostly responsible.
The screenshots show, show what they call “The Patriot Front” which accounts for nearly 3/4 of their “hate mail.” There are really no movements otherwise that they can use to promote their narrative that the United States is and has always been a “systemically racist country” loaded with scary, dangerous “terrorists”, or patriots as we know them.
It has been suggested that without characterizing groups like Moms For Liberty as Terror and Hate Groups, Nextdoor would have no cause to send out mass emails and fill their social media feeds with pleas for millions of dollars in donations from anyone who will believe their narrative.

Thank you Kelly and TCN.
Conservatives should be outraged about this. When they attack one of us, they attack ALL of us.
I sent this message to NextDoor >
Moms for Liberty is NOT a hate group
Whoever reads this needs to send it to your superiors – this is important to NextDoor.
Today I read an article that you have banned the Hamilton County Tennessee Chapter of Moms for Liberty. It re-printed the email that “Ruben” from NextDoor sent them.
You should immediately rescind that ban – otherwise NextDoor will lose credibility and users, and could get negative national publicity. The complaint was almost certainly from liberal activists. Banning Moms for Liberty discredits NextDoor.
NextDoor is now a NYSE company trading as KIND with a Market Cap of about $1.1 B. You could be the next Bud Light.
TN Moms for Liberty is NOT a hate group – to claim they are is ridiculous. In case you don’t know. the SPLC is a Far Left Marxist group.
Have you heard of Neighbors? That is emerging competition – I get an email every day – and of course there is Facebook and local newspapers – all competitors to NextDoor.
Thanks for standing up. We are all going to have to get in their ears before it’s too late.
It’s too bad that the hateful little group of liars got called on their lies. So sorry for you that your tactics aren’t doing what you want them to. Trying to spam your copy-paste pearl-clutching is unlikely to help. If you don’t like being labeled as bigots and hate groups, try not being so bigoted and hateful.
You are the perfect example of hate. Nextdoor must love you
Zolmi, you are being an ass but seeing how you all behave over ANY difference of opinion in your “lock-step cult” is not surprising. Go get your support animal and find your safe space. 🙄
Just canceled NextDoor, thank you for the article, I want no part of people like that.
Says the one being bigoted and hateful. Try having a real conversation instead of parroting the same old slurs and accusations. If you have evidence of these accusations, do share. We’ll be waiting.
I left the “Next Door” app 2 years ago once I learned I was being censored, when debating the effectiveness of masks from another member.
Conservatives need to fight back by using apps that don’t support fascism. It’s the only way we can try to balance/create a level-playing field. Otherwise, they’ve already won.
Typical liberal thinking and action. If they can’t win in an honest debate they label you as a hate group. Wear this like a badge of honor.
Sounds like a Class Action lawsuit for defamation is in order against Nextdoor, SPLC and especially the ADL!
Tip to Chattanooga Moms (and Thank You for all the good work you do!!!).
How to get NextDoor to rescind the ban.
NextDoor is a NYSE company trading as KIND with a Market Cap of about $1.1 B.
Have someone contact NextDoor and tell them that unless they rescind the Ban and issue an apology for calling Chattanooga Moms a “Hate Group” and comparing them to the KKK, that you will send letters to the stock analysts who follow NextDoor and threaten to organize a national boycott. Mention > “You might have noticed what has happened to Bud Light.”
I would be shocked if that didn’t get their attention. They would be very foolish if they didn’t rescind the ban.
Are too many Demoncrats invading our state or what?
Yep. I wonder why they come here knowing we are conservatives here. I absolutely believe that Tennessee is under attack by democrats.
Because Nextdoor are a bunch of satan worshipping Nazi Pedophiles.
Next door also banned a Christian man who put a scripture on his post. Nextdoor is run by a bunch of censoring democrats. The admins will allow every democrat comment but not conservatives.
If someone tries to give neighbors a heads up on suspicious activity, hateful comments are made towards that person. Nextdoor is awful.
I left Nextdoor because it was full of crazy leftist and a plethora of people who lose their pets every 5 minutes. A guy who claimed his post was censored for bringing up Christanity posted his rant and I noticed a guy bashing Christians by quoting scripture out of context among other things. Well several of us decided to try to educate this man on Christianity and God only to have a local mod rush to this guy’s defense to tell us OP lied to us about what was posted and essentially stop bullying this dude who was harassing us about Christianity. The app is garbage they censor criticism of leftist local politicians and these “bullying” rules don’t apply to leftist.
