Standards & Safety

Community Guidelines

Kinminds (kinminds.social) is an open, judgment-free space to share curious thoughts, funny quirks, and relatable life moments. For an honest community to thrive, mutual respect and safety are our foundation.

1. Core Principles of Engagement

✨ Curiosity & Real Talk

Share your genuine quirks, thoughts, and habits without fear of embarrassment. Whether it's an odd shower routine, a strange food combo, or a quiet life doubt, honest self-expression is what makes Kinminds special.

🤝 Solidarity Over Ridicule

Hit “Me too” when a question resonates with your own lived experience. Discuss with kindness, shared laughter, and warmth — never with cynicism, condescension, or mockery.

🛡️ Respectful Boundaries

We welcome messy, curious, and honest thoughts, but community safety is non-negotiable. No hate speech, no harassment, no doxxing, and no spam. Treat every member with dignity.

2. Zero Tolerance Violations

Violating any of the following rules will result in immediate content removal, shadow-banning, or permanent account termination:

✕Hate Speech & Discrimination: Content that attacks, degrades, dehumanizes, or incites hatred based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age.
✕Harassment & Bullying: Targeted hostility, mockery, name-calling, intimidation, stalking, dogpiling, or brigading other members.
✕Doxxing & Privacy Invasion: Sharing any personally identifiable information (real names, addresses, phone numbers, social media handles, or employer details) of yourself or any third party.
✕Encouragement of Self-Harm or Suicide: Content that instructs, encourages, validates, or glorifies suicide, self-injury, eating disorders, or substance abuse.
✕Predatory or Sexually Explicit Behavior: Solicitation of minors, non-consensual sexualization, graphic pornography, or unwanted romantic/sexual advances in comments.
✕Spam, Fraud & Self-Promotion: Commercial advertising, affiliate links, financial scams, crypto promotions, or repetitive copy-pasted comments.

3. AI Moderation & Appeals Process

To ensure the community remains safe 24/7 without delays, Kinminds uses an automated AI moderation filter combined with human review:

Proactive Review: Submissions with ambiguous wording may be temporarily held in a pending queue for fast human review before being published.

Community Reporting: Every question and comment has a report mechanism. If you see harmful or abusive content, flag it immediately.

Fair Appeals: If your content was flagged or hidden in error, you have the right to request a manual appeal by contacting our moderation team at support@kinminds.social.

4. Need Immediate Support?

Kinminds is an open peer-discussion and community platform, not an emergency mental health service or crisis response helpline. If you or someone you know is in acute distress or in need of immediate support:

In the US & Canada: Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or text HOME to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line.
In the UK: Call 111 (NHS) or 116 123 (Samaritans).
Worldwide: Find free, confidential crisis hotlines and local resources at findahelpline.com.
