We kindly request our members to contribute financially towards our significant operating costs, which include hosting, maintenance, and associated projects.

You may contribute using Open Collective or by PayPal.

Moderation Policy

We have a balanced moderation policy that encourages a free press and responsible free expression and speech while enforcing rules against extremist, prohibited, and/or illegal content.

Our aim is to maintain responsible free expression while ensuring a safe and inclusive community for all users. Our moderation approach focuses on behavior that occurs on the Newsie platform.

You can report violations directly from an individual post, image, or profile, including spam, abusive or harmful content, inappropriate ads, self-harm, and impersonation.

When making a report, please make sure to include at least a few posts that demonstrate rule-breaking behavior. If there is any additional context that might help make a decision, please include it in the comment as well.

We usually handle most reports within 72 hours.

Please note that we do not comment on moderation actions, and you will not be notified when a report you have made has led to moderation or other action.

Additionally, not all punitive actions are externally visible. For first-time offenses, we may choose to delete offending content, escalating to harsher measures for repeat offenses.

Appeals and feedback channels are available for members.
