Sharing & comments
What can I share?
What's on your mind. Difficult feelings, moments of struggle, things you can't say elsewhere, even small everyday things. This isn't a performance — you're not trying to go viral. Just honest.
Rough language is fine when it's honest. Venting about a boss or parent is fine. Working through grief in detail is fine. What's not OK: content that targets other people with hatred, encouragement of self-harm directed at others, or spam.
Why does my share need a moment before it appears?
Every share goes through moderation before publishing — usually under a second. This keeps the space safe for everyone. You'll see a "reviewing" state briefly; that's it.
My share got blocked. What happened?
Our moderation system flagged it — the message tells you which category (hate speech, harassment, self-harm promotion, spam). You can edit and try again, or if you believe it was a mistake, use the appeal button. A human reviews appeals within 48 hours.
Important distinction: language about your own pain ("I want to disappear", "I hate myself right now") is welcome here. That's not what moderation blocks — it might instead trigger our crisis support (see Safety & privacy).
What's the "I hear you" button?
A simple acknowledgment — someone read your share and wanted you to know. It's not a like. We don't show counts to anyone. There's no ranking, no popular-posts feed. When someone taps "I hear you", it just means: heard you.
Can I delete my share?
Yes — open the share and click the Delete button at the bottom. Any "I hear you" reactions on it are also removed.
How do comments work?
Same rules as shares — moderated before posting, supportive tone expected. Comments from verified counselors (when you've checked "Request expert response") appear with an Expert response badge and the counselor's specialty.
How do I report someone else's content?
Every share and comment (other than your own) has a small Report button. Pick a reason, add optional notes if you want. A moderator reviews and decides whether to remove it. The reported person doesn't see who reported them.
