Private by Default

New complaints start as private. A private complaint is kept out of the public feed unless the user intentionally chooses to release it.

  • Private posts do not appear in the public newsfeed.
  • Private content is not used for public autocomplete.
  • Publishing private content requires an intentional choice.

Protect Personal Information

Younger users should avoid posting identifying information that could make it easier for strangers to locate or contact them.

  • Do not post home addresses, school schedules, passwords, or private contact details.
  • Email and phone information remain private account information.
  • Online status is never shown publicly.
💬

Safer Conversations

Public replies and private replies are separated so that sensitive conversations are not automatically exposed to everyone.

  • Private replies are limited to the people involved.
  • Private replies are not made public without approval.
  • Users can report concerning replies or comments.
⚑

Reporting & Moderation

Content that appears dangerous, threatening, abusive, exploitative, or otherwise unsafe can be reported for review.

  • Dangerous reports are prioritized for administrators.
  • Removed comments remain inaccessible to regular users.
  • Moderation decisions can include an appeal process.
