Honest is welcome.
A sad day, a lonely week, a rough answer: all fine to share. So is asking for support. These guidelines are about protecting people, not about keeping things cheerful.
Don't share
HateAttacks on people for their race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation or similar.
HarassmentAnswers aimed at a real person to insult, threaten or shame them.
Sexual contentExplicit sexual content or requests. Never anything sexual involving minors.
Threats of violenceThreatening to hurt someone, even as a joke.
Encouraging self-harmTelling people to hurt themselves, or how to.
Spam and scamsAds, links, promotions, or tricking people.
Someone's personal infoNames with private details, phone numbers, addresses, or anything that identifies a person who didn't agree to it. That includes you: your answer is anonymous in the reveal, so keep it that way.
How we check
Shared answers are checked against these guidelines before others see them, with help from our AI provider. Unclear cases go to a person. When someone reports an answer, it's hidden for them right away, and a person reviews the report.
If your answer was hidden
Still in your journal
It's still in your journal and calendar. It's hidden from the feed and the reveal, and no one else is told it was hidden.
Think we got it wrong? On the screen that tells you the answer was hidden, tap Ask for a review. A person will look again.
Reporting
Tap the menu next to an answer in the reveal or the feed, then choose Report. You can also just hide it for yourself. Reports are anonymous: the person isn't told who reported them.
You can report a friend from your Friends list. That also removes and blocks them, unless the reason is "Someone might be at risk".
Repeated or serious breaks can stop a device from sharing, or close an account.
If someone might be at risk
Report the answer and choose "Someone might be at risk". If you or someone else is in danger right now, call your local emergency number. In the US you can call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Elsewhere, find a helpline at findahelpline.com.
