Content policy

Draft pending legal review. This text describes how Yakkery is built to work; it is not yet a binding agreement.

Every page on the web can have a conversation on Yakkery. These rules keep those conversations worth having.

Not allowed

• Illegal content, and any sexual content involving minors
• Credible threats and incitement to violence
• Targeted harassment, and sharing someone's private information
• Non-consensual intimate imagery
• Spam, scams, malware links, and coordinated inauthentic behavior
• Impersonating people or organizations

Allowed, with limits

• Political speech and criticism of public figures.
• Adult content only about sites in the Adult category, marked, hidden by default, and never shown to minors.
• Misinformation is labeled with a link to a take that disputes it rather than removed, unless it also breaks a rule above.

What happens

Reports are triaged by severity. Moderators can remove, label, warn, suspend, or ban, and can put a page in slow mode during pile-ons. You're told what happened and why, and you can appeal to a different moderator.
