Community guidelines

Be curious. Don’t be cruel.

Philia is for honest questions between people who know each other—not for pressure, humiliation, surveillance, or abuse.

What belongs here

  • Respectful questions that are easy to decline.
  • Feelings shared without demands or guilt.
  • Clues based on shared memories, not personal data.
  • Adult questions only when everyone involved is 18+ and opts in.

What does not

  • Threats, hate, bullying, stalking, coercion, or repeated unwanted contact.
  • Sharing private details or another person’s identity.
  • Child sexual abuse, grooming, exploitation, trafficking, or sexual requests involving a minor.
  • Non-consensual sexual content, impersonation, scams, blackmail, or bypassing a block.

Report and block

Every matched conversation provides Report and Block controls. Blocking closes chat and prevents future matches. A reporter may explicitly attach selected decrypted text messages; Philia never silently copies peer chat or attaches images.

Child safety response

Philia is 18+ and has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse or exploitation. Confirmed material is removed and reported to the appropriate authority when required.
