TRUST · SAFETY

Tools, defaults,
and people
who answer.

If you need help right now, scroll to the resources at the bottom of this page. Otherwise, here’s what the platform does to keep you safer, what you can do yourself, and who to reach when none of it is enough.

In an emergency, contact your local emergency services. We’re a small social network, not a substitute for help. The crisis resources below are a starting point if you don’t know where to call.
Tools in your hands

What you can do.

Everything below is available on every account, free, with no upgrade. The buttons work; we test them.

·

Block

The blocked person can’t see your moments, can’t DM you, can’t find your profile, can’t comment. You don’t see them either. They’re not notified.

Mute

You stop seeing the muted person’s moments, comments, and DMs. From their side, the relationship looks unchanged. Good for people you don’t want to lose, just need a break from.

·

Report

Any moment, comment, DM, or profile. The report goes to a human within minutes. You can report anonymously. Reporting doesn’t expose you to the reported user.

Pause DMs

Stop receiving new direct messages from anyone outside your Inner Circle. Existing conversations continue. Useful when something is heating up.

·

Hide moments

Past moments can be made invisible to specific people without unfollowing them. You can do this in bulk for everyone outside your inner circle.

Withdraw consent

If you appeared in someone else’s moment without your permission, you can request its removal. We respond within 24 hours; in most cases the content is hidden while we review.

Built-in by default

What the platform does.

No targeted ads — ever

We don’t show ads. We don’t profile users to build ad audiences. We don’t allow third-party trackers anywhere in the app. There’s no behavioural- advertising apparatus for anyone — child, teen, or adult — to be sold to.

Default-private posting

New accounts default to Inner Circle visibility. You have to deliberately choose Public for a moment to leave that circle. There’s no automatic publishing or cross-posting.

No public engagement metrics

Likes, views, and follower counts are private to you. There’s no leaderboard. There’s no trending. There’s no algorithmic amplification of polarising content because there’s no algorithm in that sense.

Image & audio moderation

Every uploaded moment is screened automatically for CSAM (hash matching plus a model), explicit nudity, and credible violence. Confirmed CSAM is reported to NCMEC and the account terminated. Other categories go to human review.

Keyword & pattern detection

Captions, comments, and DMs run through a small set of safety classifiers — self-harm, doxxing patterns, hate speech. Detected content is hidden pending human review and, for self-harm, the author is shown a crisis support modal.

Manual review by humans

Every moderation decision that affects a user — removal, suspension, ban — is reviewed by at least one human. Severe cases by two. We don’t rely on automated decisions for things that hurt people.

If you’re a young person

Stronger defaults, automatically.

If you’re a parent or guardian

What you should know.

If you have a child between 13 and 17 using DailyMoment, the protections above are on, by default, without you having to do anything. The product is built so the safe choice is the easy choice.

We don’t offer surveillance-style parental controls — we don’t let one user see another user’s DMs, even a parent. That said, we’re happy to help. If you have a concern about a specific situation, please write to safety@dailymoment.social. The team that answers includes people with backgrounds in child welfare and online safety. They’ll help you, and where needed, escalate within hours.

For general guidance on talking with kids about social media, we point families to Common Sense Media and ConnectSafely. Neither is affiliated with us; both have good resources.

If you need help right now

Crisis resources.

By region. These are independent of DailyMoment; they’re free, anonymous, and staffed by trained people. Please use them if you need them.
