Small rooms, on purpose
Conversations happen in small rooms with a firm limit on how many
people they hold. The limit is a promise: a room meant to be small
stays small. And if a room is ever full, a fresh one opens — so a
newcomer is never turned away at the door.
Hosted events, text or voice
On set evenings a host opens an event and stays for the whole
thing, so you never arrive to an empty space. The public rooms are
text-only between events — voice opens only
during a hosted event, with a host present the whole time. Events
come in two kinds, and neither is the lesser one — choose
whichever suits you:
Even at a voice event, the room’s text
chat stays on — so you can always take part by typing, and never
have to speak before you are ready.
Safety is the foundation
You decide how present anyone else is in your space — quietly mute
someone, block them, or remove them from view entirely, no
explanation needed.
And if something ever feels off, telling us is easy and
low-pressure — a real person reads every report, and the person you
report is never told it was you.
Say what you mean. The room won’t hold it against you.
In the public rooms, only the last hour of
conversation stays on screen. If a clumsy sentence has ever kept
you quiet, here you can say what you mean, be heard, and let the
moment pass.
To be straight with you: a private copy of public-room messages
is kept for 30 days, then deleted. No one reads it unless
something is reported. It’s there so a moderator can act if
something goes wrong — and that’s all. Our
privacy policy explains it
plainly.
Direct messages and private rooms
stay — those are conversations to come back to.
