Community Guidelines

What Lynxy is for

• Sharing thoughts, opinions, and ideas freely and anonymously.
• Discussing topics without fear of judgement or social consequence.
• Expressing yourself authentically, even if it is unpopular.
• Engaging with content from a diverse range of perspectives.

What is not allowed

• Illegal content — anything that violates applicable law, including content that promotes or facilitates criminal activity.
• Hate speech — content that dehumanises individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or similar characteristics.
• Threats and harassment — targeted threats of violence or sustained harassment of any individual.
• Child exploitation — any sexual content involving minors. This results in immediate, permanent removal and reporting to relevant authorities.
• Doxxing — sharing private personal information about others without their consent.
• Spam and manipulation — flooding the platform with repetitive content or attempting to game the ranking system.

Automatic screening before posting

Every post is checked automatically before it is published, against the same rules listed above. If a post appears to break them, it is not published and you will see a notice that it may violate these guidelines. We do not publish the exact rules the check looks for, because that would make them easy to get around.

A blocked post is never published and never appears in a feed. We keep a private moderation record of the decision — the account, the time and the category involved — for safety and enforcement. It is visible only to our moderation team, never to other users, and it does not contain the text you wrote. Automated checks support human review; they do not replace it.

Anonymity is a right, not a loophole

Being anonymous does not exempt you from these guidelines. Anonymity is here to protect you — not to enable harm to others. Content that would be unacceptable under a real name is equally unacceptable here.

Sensitive but permitted content

We allow discussion of difficult, controversial, or politically sensitive topics. Dark humour, satire, and strong opinions are welcome. We draw the line only at content that directly harms real people or violates the rules above.

Reporting content and abusive users

Use the Report button on any post you believe violates these guidelines, or contact us to report abusive behaviour. We do not reveal who submitted a report. Every report is reviewed manually and acted upon within 24 hours. False or malicious reports may result in action against the reporter account.

Enforcement

Lynxy has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Content that violates these guidelines is removed, and offending users may be suspended or permanently banned depending on severity. Serious violations are reported to law enforcement. There is no formal appeals process — decisions are final.
