Community Guidelines

At peer, we believe in creating a space where genuine human connection thrives. Our community guidelines reflect our commitment to transparency, authenticity, and user empowerment while maintaining a respectful environment for all.

Our Principles

You are responsible for what you post

Each member of our community is accountable for their own contributions. Before posting, consider how your content might affect others and whether it aligns with our community values.

Free expression matters

We value the free exchange of ideas and perspectives. Peer is designed to be a platform where diverse voices can engage in meaningful conversation without algorithmic manipulation.

Privacy is paramount

Respect for privacy is foundational to our platform. We protect your data, and we expect community members to respect each other's privacy as well.

  • Home addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses
