Community Guidelines
How we protect this space without controlling people’s emotions.
Why these guidelines exist
This space was created so people could speak honestly without fear of ridicule, dismissal, or emotional punishment. The goal is not perfection. The goal is safety, humanity, and care.
No shaming
Do not dismiss, mock, or shame someone for what they felt, experienced, or chose to share.
No trauma competition
Pain is not ranked here. Nobody has to prove that their story was “bad enough” to matter.
Advice only when welcomed
If someone does not invite advice, respond with care, recognition, or shared experience instead.
Protect anonymity
Do not pressure anyone to reveal names, locations, or personal details.
No harassment or hate
Responses that attack, threaten, or dehumanize people do not belong here.
Moderation for safety
Moderation exists to protect users from harm, not to make emotions sound polite.
These guidelines exist to protect honesty, not silence it.
You are allowed to feel deeply here.
