Safety

Most of this product is soft: a nudge, a suggestion, a choice. This is the part that is firm, decided in advance.

If someone writes about danger or abuse

  1. The share goes through exactly as written. No coaching about wording is shown or kept.
  2. The writer immediately sees a private, kind card: an acknowledgement, the resources below for their region, and a way to reach a person.
  3. The listening partner sees one line above their composer: "They might need more than listening right now." Nothing else changes for them.
  4. A person on our side is told, and reads it the same day. Nobody is contacted on anyone's behalf automatically.

What cannot be shared

Threats or wishes of harm, including self-harm, instructions for harm, sexual content involving minors, doxxing, and slurs cannot be sent. The writer sees one short line and no rewrite. A threat of harm also opens the help card for the writer. We keep a record of the event, the rule, and a fingerprint of the text, never the text itself.
