Community guidelines
Nonyere is for sharing real moments with people you know and spaces you chose. These guidelines apply everywhere in Nonyere: posts, clips, comments, profiles, Enclaves and Broadcast channels.
Each section below matches a reason you can choose when you report something. If we act on a report, the notice we send you links to the section that applied.
Report reason: Harassment or bullyingHarassment and bullying
Don't target people to hurt, shame, frighten or silence them.
- Repeated unwanted contact, or encouraging others to pile on someone.
- Insults, degrading comments or mockery aimed at a person.
- Sharing someone's photo or words to ridicule them.
- Making a new account to reach someone who blocked you.
- Disagreeing, even strongly, about ideas and decisions.
Report reason: Hate or discriminationHate and discrimination
Don't attack people for who they are: for example their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or serious illness.
- Slurs, dehumanising comparisons or calls to exclude people.
- Symbols or content that promote hate groups.
- Discussing discrimination, sharing your own experience of it, or reporting on it.
Report reason: Threats or violenceThreats and violence
Don't threaten, encourage or celebrate violence against anyone.
- Threats to hurt someone, even as a "joke".
- Praise for attacks, or content from violent extremist groups.
- Graphic violence shared to shock.
If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
Report reason: Puts a child at riskChild safety
Nonyere is for people aged 16 and over. We do not allow anything that sexualises, exploits or endangers a child, ever.
- Any sexual content involving a minor, real or drawn.
- Grooming, or asking a minor for images or to meet.
- Sharing images of a child in a way that puts them at risk.
When something is reported for child safety, we keep a protected copy of it, apart from the app and readable only by our trust and safety staff, even if the person who posted it deletes it or their account. We do this so it can be reviewed and, where the law requires, reported to the authorities.
Report reason: Self-harm or suicideSelf-harm and suicide
Don't encourage or give instructions for self-harm, suicide or eating disorders.
- Talking about your own experience and recovery, and supporting each other.
If you are worried about someone right now, contact local emergency services or a crisis line where you are.
Report reason: Sexual contentSexual content
Nonyere isn't a place for sexual content.
- Nudity or sexual activity in photos, clips or posts.
- Sharing intimate images of anyone without their consent, which we treat as one of the most serious violations.
- Sexual messages or comments directed at people who didn't ask for them.
Report reason: Shares private informationPrivacy
Don't share other people's private information or private moments without their permission.
- Home addresses, phone numbers, ID documents, financial or health details.
- Screenshots or recordings of someone else's Enclave posts, shared outside the Enclave to expose them.
- Photos or clips of people where they would reasonably expect privacy.
If something shows you or your information, report it as "Shares private information". We treat these reports as urgent.
Report reason: Pretending to be someone elseImpersonation
Pseudonyms are welcome. Pretending to be a specific real person, a public figure, an organisation or Nonyere staff is not.
- Using someone else's name and identity to mislead people.
- Running a Broadcast channel that implies it is an organisation it doesn't represent.
- Clearly labelled parody or fan accounts that no one would mistake for the real thing.
Report reason: Misleading about how it was madeMisleading about how something was made
Every photo and clip on Nonyere shows a label that says what we could check about how it was made. Don't try to make it say more than it does.
- Photographing a screen or another image, or filming AI-generated material, to pass it off as a real moment.
- Staging a scene and presenting it as something that happened, in a way meant to deceive.
- Claiming a label proves something it doesn't.
The label describes the capture, never whether what it shows is true. "Nonyere capture session · device not verified" means the photo was uploaded in a single, short capture session tied to the account, with location data removed, and the image is unchanged since upload. It does not prove that Nonyere's camera took it.
Report reason: IllegalIllegal content and activity
Don't use Nonyere to break the law or to help others break it.
- Selling or arranging drugs, weapons or other regulated goods.
- Fraud, theft or sharing stolen data.
- Content that infringes someone's copyright or other rights.
If you believe content is illegal where you live, report it as "Illegal" and tell us why. We may need to act on it, or to pass it to the authorities.
Report reason: Spam or scamSpam and scams
- Posting the same thing again and again, or lots of links.
- Fake offers, phishing, or asking people for money or account details.
- Using several accounts or automated tools to post, connect or report.
Nonyere refuses posts that look like spam (lots of links, or the same text posted repeatedly) before they are shared, and limits how fast anyone can post, comment, connect and report.
Report reason: Something elseAnything else
If something feels wrong but doesn't fit above, report it as "Something else" and tell us what's going on. A person reads every report.
How reporting works
Use Report from the menu on a post, comment, profile, Enclave or channel. You choose a reason and can add a short explanation.
- The person you report isn't told who reported them, and our moderators don't see it either.
- Reports about the same thing are grouped, so one case collects them.
- You can see what happened to your reports in Settings › Safety › Your reports.
- You can also block or mute someone, from their profile or from the menu on their post or comment. Blocking ends any connection, and they can no longer find you or see what you share. They aren't told.
What moderators can do
A moderator reviews each case and decides under these guidelines. Every decision has a reason, and is recorded.
| Decision | What it means |
|---|---|
| No action | The content stays; nothing breaks the guidelines. |
| Warning | The person gets a notice explaining which guideline applies. |
| Hide while under review | Only the person who posted it can see it until the review ends. |
| Keep out of Home | It stays reachable directly but isn't shown in anyone's Home feed. |
| Remove content | Nobody can see it any more. |
| Temporary suspension | From 1 to 90 days. The person can't post, comment or connect, and is signed out, but can still read notices and appeal. |
| Permanent suspension | Only by our trust and safety staff, for serious or repeated violations. |
| Restrict an Enclave or suspend a channel | Only by trust and safety staff. Members lose access, and the space leaves Discover. |
Automated checks never suspend or restrict anyone. They can refuse an obvious spam post before it's shared, and flag content for a person to review.
Appeals
If we act on your content or account, you get a notice in the app with the decision, the guideline and the reason. You can appeal from that notice and explain why you think we got it wrong.
- A different moderator from the one who made the decision reviews the appeal.
- If the appeal succeeds, the decision is reversed and the content or account is restored.
- Totals of reports, decisions and appeals are published in the app, in Settings › Safety › Transparency.
