Community Guidelines
Last Updated: January 17, 2026
Tatau is built on a simple principle: every interaction should lift people up, not tear them down. These guidelines help us maintain that vision together.
Our Core Philosophy
Unlike platforms that profit from division and outrage, Tatau is designed to highlight our shared humanity. We believe people can disagree respectfully and find common ground through universal human values.
What We Encourage
- Sharing acts of kindness you've witnessed or performed
- Expressing gratitude and appreciation
- Offering support and encouragement to others
- Sharing personal growth stories and lessons learned
- Engaging with empathy and an open mind
What Is Not Allowed
- Hate speech, discrimination, or content targeting people based on identity
- Harassment, bullying, threats, or intimidation
- Content designed to divide rather than unite
- Misinformation or deliberately misleading content
- Spam, commercial solicitation, or self-promotion
- Content that sexualizes minors or promotes illegal activity
The AI Mentor
Our AI mentor reviews content before posting—not to censor, but to offer perspective. If your post contains potentially divisive language, the mentor suggests alternatives that express your point through shared human values. You always have the final say.
Consequences
Violations of these guidelines may result in:
- Content removal with explanation
- Temporary account suspension
- Permanent account termination for severe or repeated violations
Remember
Behind every screen is a human being with feelings, struggles, and hopes—just like you. When in doubt, choose kindness.
