Code of conduct

Whether you’re browsing or listing, we all play a part in building a thoughtful community. These guidelines help keep the Community Listings respectful and safe(r).

Using the listings

This is a tool to help you discover spaces. It is not an endorsement.

Before attending an event

  • Take time to review the listing carefully
  • Ask questions if anything is unclear
  • Make decisions based on your own comfort and boundaries
  • Respect each listing’s rules and culture

Learn how to vet a listing

Read our guide on how to vet before attending.

How to vet a listing

Our shared values

We believe strong communities are built through:

  • Consent and personal agency
  • Care and accountability
  • Respect for diversity
  • Harm reduction

What’s not allowed

To protect the community, listings must not include:

  • Misrepresentation of services or credentials
  • Harassment, discrimination or hate speech
  • Coercion, exploitation or grooming
  • Any media shared without consent
  • Unrelated promotional content

Listings that violate these guidelines will be removed.

Reporting concerns

If something doesn’t feel right, you can report a listing at the bottom of their page. While we do not formally vet listings, we take reports seriously.
