Community Guidelines

Last updated: September 2026

Unheard exists because everyone deserves to be heard. These guidelines exist to keep it a safe, warm space โ€” not to censor genuine emotion, but to protect the people who come here at their most vulnerable.

โœ… What's welcome

  • Sharing personal feelings, struggles, joys, and reflections
  • Venting anonymously without fear of judgment
  • Expressing grief, loneliness, hope, or gratitude
  • Writing in any language

๐Ÿšซ What's not allowed

  • Hate speech, slurs, or content that demeans others based on identity
  • Threats of violence against yourself or others
  • Instructions or encouragement for self-harm
  • Personal information about other people (doxxing)
  • Spam, advertisements, or external URLs
  • Sexual content involving minors

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ How moderation works

All echoes pass through an automated content filter before being published. If content mentions self-harm, it is still published โ€” you deserve to be heard โ€” but crisis resources are shown to you. Echoes reported by three or more readers are automatically hidden. You can report any echo using the ๐Ÿšฉ flag button.

๐Ÿ’› If you're struggling

Unheard is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or a helpline in your country.
