community guidelines
why these guidelines exist
dating apps have a trust problem. most platforms bury rules in legal boilerplate, act inconsistently, and treat moderation as damage control rather than community care. users — particularly women, queer people, and neurodivergent people — are left feeling unsafe, unheard, and unsupported. we're doing this differently.
likelike exists to help people connect authentically in spaces that feel genuinely safe. these guidelines aren't a list of things we'll punish you for. they're a shared agreement about the kind of community we're building together.
our three-tier approach to harm
tier 1 — review and support
mild or ambiguous behaviour that may be unintentional. a member of the team reviews it personally. we look at context. we may reach out to both parties. we don't assume the worst.
tier 2 — immediate action and warning
clear violations: sexual comments without consent, persistent unwanted contact, discriminatory language, sharing personal info. the message is hidden immediately and the sender gets a formal warning written like a message from a person, not a legal notice.
tier 3 — escalation
serious violations or second offences: threats, explicit content, intimate images without consent, targeted harassment. every case is reviewed personally before any ban is issued. we don't automate bans.
what we'll never do
- we'll never sell your data. ever.
- we'll never use moderation as a commercial tool.
- we'll never issue automated bans without human review.
- we'll never ignore context.
- we'll never gaslight you. if we don't act, we'll tell you why.
how to report
every message in a mixer has a report option. profile reports are available from any profile. or email us at natalie@likelike.app. tell us what happened in your own words. reports are confidential.
a note on neurodivergent users
likelike is explicitly welcoming to neurodivergent people. social norms aren't equally intuitive for everyone, and we build that into how we moderate. if a misunderstanding arises from a difference in communication style rather than intent to harm, we treat it as such. we ask the broader community to do the same.
