Draft for founder and legal review

Community Guidelines

These guidelines are a product-ready draft for review before public launch.

Help people feel welcome

Speak to people as people. Disagreement is allowed. Harassment, threats, targeted humiliation, stalking, hate, and repeated unwanted contact are not allowed.

Respect privacy and consent

Do not share another person’s private information, images, messages, location, identity, or off-platform activity without permission. Do not pressure someone to reply, meet, disclose personal details, or move a conversation elsewhere.

Keep people safe

Do not encourage violence, self-harm, exploitation, abuse, or dangerous activity. Sexual content involving minors, grooming, or attempts to obtain exploitative material are prohibited and may be escalated to appropriate authorities. If someone appears to be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

Use Local carefully

Meet in public places, tell someone where you are going, arrange your own transportation, and leave if you feel uncomfortable. Meetup hosts must describe plans accurately and communicate important changes. No member is required to organize or host Local activity.

Be real without exposing yourself

Use one account and a consistent screen name. Do not impersonate people or organizations, run scams, spam members, or manufacture engagement. You may protect personal details and use anonymous posting where the product offers it.

Reporting and enforcement

Use the report control for content, messages, photos, or Local activity that may violate these guidelines. Blocking is available for immediate personal boundaries. Moderators may warn, remove content, restrict a feature, suspend, or ban an account. Serious safety reports receive human review. Appeals and support requests can be submitted through Support.
