Community Guidelines

Bring curiosity, kindness, and room for different experiences. Disagree with ideas without attacking people. Ask before giving sensitive feedback, respect a “no,” and remember that every screen has a real person behind it.

• Harassment, bullying, threats, intimidation, or targeted cruelty.
• Hate speech or content that demeans people because of protected characteristics.
• Doxxing, sharing private information, or misusing private conversations without permission.
• Impersonation, deceptive identity claims, scams, spam, or repeated unwanted promotion.
• Illegal content, exploitation, or content that encourages violence or self-harm.
• Sexual or explicit content in general community rooms. Any adult-only space has separate rules and access controls.

Direct messages and smaller conversations are not a free pass to pressure, manipulate, harass, or exploit someone. Do not publish another person's private messages or personal details without their permission unless it is necessary to make a good-faith safety report.

If something feels unsafe, abusive, or against these guidelines, use the in-community reporting tools where available and preserve helpful context. Kindred Hive may review reports, remove content, limit features, suspend access, or cooperate with lawful requests when needed. We may not be able to share the outcome of every report, but we take concerns seriously.

Kindred Hive is not therapy, medical care, legal advice, or crisis counseling. Do not rely on the community for urgent help. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call local emergency services. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

These guidelines work alongside our Terms of Use. They may change as the community grows, but the intention remains the same: make room for real people, real conversations, and safer connection.
