Safety, by design Edition 01

Safeby design.Not by disclaimer.

Community safety is built into every screen — not buried in a policy page. Here's the playbook, in plain language, with the receipts.

House rules

Five rules. No loopholes.

Plain language. Enforced from day one. Reviewed every week with the community.

  1. No fatphobia, ever.

    Hate speech, body-shaming, and 'concern trolling' are removed on sight. Jokes count. Coded language counts.

  2. No weight-loss content.

    No diet pitches, no before-and-after framing, no shrinking-as-wellness. Health is weight-neutral here.

  3. No unsolicited advice.

    Nutrition tips, workout prescriptions, medical opinions — only when asked. Otherwise it lands as judgment, not help.

  4. Consent always.

    Photos, stories, DMs — nothing shared without the person's clear yes. Quoting back without permission isn't allowed.

  5. Egyptian Arabic is welcome.

    Post in 'مصري', 'العربية', or English. We don't gatekeep dialect — and we don't drift to MSA when you wrote in Egyptian.

Not on our watch

Zero tolerance, out loud.

These aren't edge cases we debate. They're removed on sight, with no second warning and no appeals for first offences.

  • Fatphobia in any flavour — 'jokes' included.
  • Before-and-after weight-loss content.
  • Diet industry ads, affiliates, or referrals.
  • Unsolicited nutrition or 'wellness' advice.
  • Body-shaming dressed up as 'concern.'
  • Doxxing, harassment, hate speech, or threats.
When you report

One tap. A human. A written answer.

Every post, comment, profile and DM has a report button. Here's exactly what happens next — so you know what to expect before you tap.

  1. You tap report.

    One tap from the post, comment, profile or DM. No forms, no screenshots required. Add a note if it helps.

  2. A human reads it.

    Not a bot. A paid moderator on our team — usually within two hours, always inside a working day.

  3. We write back.

    Within 24 hours: what we did, why we did it, and whether the report is closed. You hear from us, not a template.

Threats of harm escalate to senior staff within 15 minutes, 24/7. You never have to wait in a queue when safety is on the line.

Your moderators

Paid. Trained. Plus-size.

Not volunteers. Not bots. Not somebody else's contractors. The people keeping this room warm are on our payroll.

  • Paid fairly.

    Hourly wage plus benefits. Moderation is a job we budget for, not a favour we ask.

  • Trained on HAES.

    Health At Every Size, trauma-informed care, and de-escalation — because the community deserves more than 'common sense.'

  • From the community.

    Every moderator is plus-size. They've lived it. They moderate from the inside, not above it.

Soft room. Loud spine.

We promise a warm place — and we spend real money keeping it that way. If anything here ever feels off, tell us. We'll answer you, personally.
