Community Guidelines

Lead with curiosity

Ask questions that invite a person to share what they have lived. Be direct without being demeaning. Assume there is a human being on the other side of the card, not a character, a stereotype, or an argument to win.

Respect the host’s boundaries

Questions arrive privately to the host, and a host decides what to answer and what to publish. A lack of response is an answer in itself. Do not pressure, stalk, repeatedly contact, or try to identify someone beyond the information they chose to make public.

Keep it human

• Talk about experiences without attacking a person or group.
• Avoid assumptions about identity, work, family, health, income, or background.
• Do not share someone else’s private or sensitive information.
• Challenge ideas with care; do not bait, harass, intimidate, or humiliate.
• Remember that hosts can speak only for themselves, not everyone with a similar identity or job.

Publish with care

Hosts should answer in their own voice, avoid presenting speculation as fact, and consider the privacy and safety of people mentioned in a response. Do not use an AMA card or answer to impersonate someone, promote a scam, or expose another person.
