Pridy exists so LGBTQIA+ people can find each other — to date, to hook up, to make friends, to find a community in a new city. That only works if people feel safe here. These guidelines are how we keep it that way.
They apply everywhere in the app: your profile, your photos, your prompts, your pins, your voice notes and your messages. Breaking them can cost you your account.
Be who you say you are
Use your own photos. Use your real age. One account per person.
Don't impersonate anyone, don't use someone else's pictures, and don't pretend to be younger or older than you are. If we can't tell whether a profile is real, we may ask for verification or remove it.
Your photos and profile
Yes: photos of you, your interests, your life.
No:
- Anyone under 18, in any photo, in any context
- Nudity or sexually explicit images in profile photos, prompts or pins — these are public to everyone here
- Other people's photos, or photos of people who haven't agreed to appear
- Phone numbers, social media handles, email addresses or links to other platforms in your profile
- Violence, weapons, drugs, hate symbols
- Anything you don't have the right to post
Consent is the whole thing
- Don't send explicit photos to someone who hasn't said they want them. Ask first. An unsolicited explicit image is grounds for removal.
- Don't share what someone sent you privately. No screenshots, no forwarding, no posting it elsewhere.
- Never share intimate images of another person without their permission. This is one of the most serious things you can do here, and it ends your account immediately.
- Don't out anyone. Don't reveal someone's HIV status, their orientation, their gender identity, their relationship, or anything else about them to people who don't already know — and never threaten to.
- No means no, the first time. If someone stops replying, blocks you, or says they're not interested, that's the end of it. Don't make new accounts to reach them.
Treat people decently
No harassment, threats, stalking or intimidation.
No hate speech or attacks based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, body type, age, HIV status, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation. That includes "preferences" written as insults — you can describe who you're looking for without putting other people down.
No encouraging anyone to hurt themselves.
Zero tolerance: minors
Pridy is 18+. There is no grey area here.
Anyone who posts sexual content involving a minor, attempts to contact a minor, or uses this service to groom or exploit a child is banned immediately and permanently. We report confirmed material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and to law enforcement.
If you come across anything of this kind, report it right away, or write to info@pridy.net.
Nothing illegal
No selling or soliciting drugs, weapons, prescription medication or stolen goods. No sex work or trafficking of any kind. No criminal activity, and no organising it here.
No money, no scams
Don't ask other users for money, gift cards, crypto or bank transfers. Don't run investment "opportunities", romance scams, phishing links or fake verification pages.
Don't use Pridy to advertise, promote another service, or recruit people to other platforms.
If someone asks you for money, it's a scam. Report them.
Pins
Pins are for places and moments — a bar worth going to, a party, a walk, "I'm around here tonight". They are visible to everyone on Pridy.
Don't drop a pin at someone's home, workplace, or at a location that identifies another person. Don't use pins for advertising, for explicit content, or to target anyone.
Reporting
You can report someone from their profile, from a chat, or from one of their pins, and you can block anyone. Blocking is immediate and works both ways — they can't see you either.
Our moderation team reviews reports and acts on objectionable content within 24 hours, removing the content and, where it's warranted, removing the person who posted it.
Reporting is private. The person you report is not told who reported them.
Please report rather than engage. It's safer, and it's the only way we find out.
What happens when these rules are broken
Depending on what happened, we may remove the content, limit what an account can do, suspend it, or ban it permanently. Serious violations — anything involving a minor, non-consensual sexual content, threats of violence, trafficking — result in an immediate permanent ban, and may be referred to law enforcement.
If you think we got it wrong, write to info@pridy.net and a person will look at it again.
One last thing
Moderation catches a lot, but it can't catch everything, and we can't verify who everyone is. Meet in public the first time. Tell a friend where you're going. Trust your gut — if something feels off, it probably is.
Look out for each other.
