Community guidelines

How we treat each other here

Short version: be kind, keep private things private, and never encourage harm.

  • • Be kind. Everyone here is dealing with something.
  • • Don't share private information — yours or anyone else's.
  • • No advice about medication, diagnoses or treatment.
  • • Never encourage self-harm, disordered eating or dangerous behaviour.
  • • Use the report button instead of arguing with harmful content.

Not allowed, ever

Encouraging self-harm, suicide, violence, disordered eating or dangerous challenges. Sexual content involving minors or any form of exploitation. Harassment, hate speech, threats, doxxing, scams and spam.

Advice to start, stop or change medication, and claims that any content here is medical treatment.

How moderation works

Content is screened automatically and can be allowed, flagged, hidden pending review, or removed. Human review handles reports and appeals.

Repeated or serious breaches end in a removed account. Safety-sensitive situations follow a dedicated escalation path.

If someone worries you

Report the message and block the account. If you think someone may be in immediate danger, contact emergency services in their country if you can, and tell us via a report so moderators can act.
