Frequently Asked Questions
Will the person I reported find out it was me?
No. Reports are completely anonymous. The reported user never sees who reported them or what reason was selected.
What if my report is dismissed?
If our team determines the content does not violate guidelines, no action is taken. You can email support directly if you believe a serious violation was missed.
Can I report a user's profile (not just a post)?
Currently, reporting is available on individual posts. For profile-level concerns (impersonation, etc.), use the Contact form and describe the issue.
Does reporting automatically remove the post?
No. Reporting flags the post for review and reduces its feed score but does not immediately remove it. Removal requires a moderation decision.
Can I see the status of my report?
Report status notifications are not currently sent back to reporters. Action may have been taken even if you did not receive a direct update.
What if someone is using a fake account impersonating me?
Select "Other" when reporting and describe the impersonation. For confirmed impersonation by a verified identity, email support with evidence (ID, official website link, etc.).
How many reports does it take to remove a post?
There is no automatic removal threshold. Each report reduces the post's feed score by −20 and flags it for human review. Final action is always a human moderation decision.
Can I report a private account's posts?
You can report any post visible to you, including posts from private accounts you follow.
What is the penalty for submitting false reports?
Abusing the report system to harass users (false reporting) is a violation of our Terms of Service and may result in your own account being sanctioned.
