SAFETY FIRST.

Development instance notice: This self-hosted software does not come with staffed 24/7 moderation, emergency response, verified identities, or screening of members. The owner of a deployed instance must establish real safety operations before public use.

Community guidelines

• Only adults aged 18 or over may join. Never impersonate another person, upload photos without permission, or create deceptive accounts.
• No harassment, threats, doxxing, hate, coercion, scams, extortion, stalking, explicit nonconsensual content, or pressure to share private information.
• Respect a person's boundaries. A match or prior conversation does not create consent for physical contact or ongoing communication.
• Do not manipulate swipe events, automate accounts, or submit false date confirmations. Receipt statistics can be corrected for errors, but factual results cannot be paid away.
• Don't publish screenshots or identifiable receipts to shame or target another member.

Automatically censored photos

BRUTAL attempts to cover exposed intimate body areas in profile photos before other members can see them. Ordinary shirtless chests and non-explicit photos are allowed. Detection may miss areas or censor something by mistake. Questionable uploads can be held privately for moderator review. Do not upload explicit, exploitative, or nonconsensual material, even if the app would cover it.

New free trust tools

BRUTAL checks images for exact reuse already present on this instance. It never identifies another member or proves impersonation. It also strips published image metadata, offers private photo-quality hints, and marks some scam-related chat phrases as unverified caution signals, not accusations. You can mute chats, report a conversation with up to 20 recent messages attached, and use the private profile checklist. Reports may contain sensitive content reviewed by the operator.

Report, block, and correct

Use a member's Report control to file a report, and Block to prevent profile or message access. Requests are stored in the operator's moderation queue. Account administrators can review and suspend accounts, but nobody is automatically monitoring your report. Use Settings → Request stat correction to challenge a calculation.

Meeting someone safely

Start at a public location, arrange your own transportation, tell a trusted person where you're going, and avoid sending money to people you haven't met. People can misrepresent themselves, even when a profile displays factual application data.

Emergency assistance

If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. In the United States, call 911. Do not rely on an app report for urgent help.
