Real thoughts. Real opinions. Real life. No AI, no LARPing, no selling, no gatekeeping.
The Blog is a social app for what you actually think and what is actually happening in your life. An ordinary day is enough. You do not need a polished life, an audience or something to sell.
These are the promises each member makes. They cover posts, comments, profiles and how you treat people here.
Be yourself without performing an invented life. Do not impersonate somebody, claim credentials you do not have, or pass off a made-up personal story as something that happened to you.
A pen name is fine. Keeping your name, job, location or other personal details private is fine. Being uncertain, making an honest mistake, changing your mind or holding an unpopular opinion is not LARPing. Nobody has to expose private records to prove they belong here.
Share something useful because it helped you, not because you are recruiting customers. Honest recommendations without a commercial pitch are welcome. Hidden commissions, sales funnels, “DM me for the price” and paid groups disguised as community are not.
If you have a point, make it. Do not hide the useful part so people have to follow you, flatter you, comment a keyword, DM you or pay for access. Cryptic posts designed only to make people chase the story are attention bait, not sharing.
You can say “I do not want to share that,” skip a question or leave out sensitive details. A short post, a private situation or an unfinished thought is not automatically a violation. The rule is about using withheld information to extract status, engagement or a sale.
Use Report on a post for AI content, LARPing, selling, gatekeeping or another pledge concern. For LARPing, gatekeeping or Other, explain the specific concern so a person has something to review. Do not upload somebody's private documents as proof.
The same Report button includes safety concerns such as harassment, sexual exploitation, exposed personal information and dangerous content. Safety reports are reviewed privately and do not count against reporting standing. Comments, profiles and messages also use Report; those reports go to private review and are not published as accusations.
Reports are allegations, not verdicts. People review context and decide; a report does not automatically ban someone. Writing style alone is not proof of AI use, and disagreement alone is not proof that someone is lying. We do not promise to catch every violation.
Post reports retain the existing reporting-standing system: a cleared report can count against the reporter, and three unexcused cleared reports pause further post reports. An operator can excuse an honest mistake. Private safety and community reports use the separate, unscored queue.
Breaking the pledge can lead to content restrictions or a ban. A pledge ban is public on the Banned List, with the operator's reason and evidence subject to the safety and deletion rules in the Terms. Private safety reports are reviewed privately; unsafe material is not published as evidence.
Every ban can be appealed through the private appeal process. If you cannot find your appeal link, use Support. People review the argument and decide. An overturned ban is marked on the public record.
Membership starts with an invitation addressed to your phone number or email. Sign in with a code sent to that phone number or email, or use Google or Apple with the invited email address. You read and sign this pledge, choose your handle, then enter the feed. Existing members sign in without another invitation.
Private writing is protected by server-side membership and access rules. Your sign-in email and phone are not displayed on your profile. You can use a pen name, choose your privacy settings, block people and ask the operators for help.
The Blog currently has no advertising. Any future advertising would require clear labels and updated disclosures. Member posts are not a place to sell.
