1. Privacy and Safety Tools
Although this is a site about being seen, we understand that users might not want everything to be seen at all times. Thatâs why weâve created tools that put you in complete controlâyour experience here should be on your terms, period.
2. Take Control of Your Privacy
Your profile, your rules. We want you to know exactly how to make your experience better and more secure. Whether youâre an open book or prefer to keep things private, you get to decide who sees what.
- Choose who sees your profile: Share it with everyone, just logged-in members, only your friends, specific group members, or keep it completely privateâjust for you.
- Go invisible in searches: Want to fly under the radar? Hide yourself from the member directory and search results entirely.
- Keep your activity private: Turn off your âlast activeâ status so you can browse without anyone knowing when you were last online.
- Control friend requests: Not interested in receiving friend requests? Turn them off completely. Problem solved.
- Manage your connections: Decide who can see your friends list and groups, and approve or block follow requests as you see fit.
- Pro tip: All these settings live in one convenient placeâyour account settings. Update them anytime.
3. Block Users, No Questions Asked
Sometimes you need to cut ties with someoneâwe get it. Blocking is simple and effective, giving you the power to control who you interact with on the platform.
- Easy blocking: See a block/unblock button right on profiles and in member lists. One click and youâre done.
- Optional explanations: Want to document why you blocked someone? You can add a reason for your own reference.
- Manage your blocked list: Review and update your âBlockedâ list anytime from your account settings.
What happens when you block someone? All messaging between you stops immediatelyâthe âSend Messageâ button disappears. Neither of you can send friend requests to each other. They wonât show up when youâre typing @mentions. Profile access gets restrictedâyou wonât have to see their content. Their activity updates and comments stay hidden from your feed. Report Content That Crosses the Line None of this works if people donât feel safe here. When you see something that doesnât belong, reporting it helps us detect and prevent abuse. Your reports are taken seriouslyâthey help us maintain a respectful environment for everyone.
- Report buttons everywhere: Found on activity posts, user profiles, group pages, and private message threads. Spot something inappropriate? Report it right there.
- Quick reporting process: Fill out a simple form with a subject, explanation, and category. Weâve made it fast so you can get back to what matters.
- Built-in safeguards: You canât report your own content (no accidents!), and duplicate reports are automatically prevented.
What happens after you report? If content gets enough reports, itâs automatically hidden while our team reviews it. Users under review may temporarily lose certain privileges like messaging or posting until we sort things out.
4. Profanity Filter That Works for You
Not everyone wants to see explicit languageâtotally understandable. Our profanity filter automatically masks offensive words across the site, but you control whether you want to see the original text or keep it filtered.
- Automatic protection: Offensive language gets masked in posts, comments, profiles, and everywhere else it might pop up.
- Toggle anytime: See masked text? Hit âShow originalâ to see what was really said. Changed your mind? Click âHide offensive languageâ to mask it again.
- Save your preference: Set a permanent preference in your account settings under âProfanity Filter.â Your choice sticks with you every time you log in.
