🚨 Reporting and Moderation

When reporting accounts, please make sure to include at least a few posts that show rule-breaking behaviour, when applicable. If there is any additional context that might help make a decision, please also include it in the comment. This is especially important when the content is in a language nobody on the moderation team speaks.

We usually handle reports within 24 hours. Please bear in mind that you are not normally notified when a report you have made has led to a punitive action, and that not all punitive actions are externally visible. For first time offences, we may opt to delete offending content, escalating to harsher measures on repeat offences.

1. Sexually explicit or violent media must be marked as sensitive when posting
2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism
3. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
4. No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
5. No content illegal in the UK
6. Do not share intentionally false or misleading information
