Start safe, meaningful conversations

A strong first message

1. 1Name the specific interest or context you share.
2. 2Explain why you are reaching out in one or two sentences.
3. 3Ask a small question that is easy to decline or answer.
4. 4Avoid demanding immediate contact details, a call, or a large commitment.

Build trust gradually

• Keep early conversation in the product.
• Let both people control pace and channel.
• Confirm before sharing someone else's words or identity.
• Use a small collaborative action before committing to a larger project.

Warning signs

• Pressure to move off-platform immediately.
• Requests for money, codes, credentials, documents, or intimate material.
• Inconsistent identity or claims that cannot be checked.
• Repeated contact after you have said no.

End or report

You do not need to justify ending a conversation. Use block or report controls when available and retain only the evidence needed for a safety report. If you are in immediate danger, contact the appropriate local emergency service rather than waiting for platform support.
