Safety guide
Last updated: 7 October 2026
Please read this. It protects your identity and your safety.
Protecting your identity
・Use a nickname you don't use on other social media — matching names are easy to cross-reference.
・Use a profile photo you have never posted elsewhere; reverse image search can identify you.
・Watch what appears in photos: name badges, post, travel passes, mirror reflections, the view from a window, your room layout.
・We strip location data from photos, but backgrounds can still reveal where you are.
・Never name your employer, school or nearest station. Region is deliberately broad.
Profile visibility
・By default, only ID-verified members can see your profile.
・If you are not open about your activity, we strongly recommend keeping this setting.
While chatting
・Be cautious with anyone who immediately pushes you to another app — it may be to avoid leaving a record.
・Don't share your real name, address, phone or workplace until you genuinely trust someone.
・If money, investments, side jobs or religion come up, block and report.
・If someone makes sexual demands, report it. It is prohibited here.
Meeting for the first time
・Meet in daylight, in a busy public place.
・Never go to their home, your home, a private room or their car on a first meeting.
・Tell someone you trust who you're meeting, where and when.
・Arrange your own transport so you can leave whenever you want.
・If anything feels wrong, leave. You owe no explanation.
・Keep your drink in sight.
Protecting yourself from outing
・Being exposed by someone you met here is serious harm and strictly prohibited.
・If it happens or you are threatened, block them, save screenshots, and report it.
・In Japan you can also call the police consultation line #9110, or the human rights hotline 0570-003-110.
If something goes wrong
・Blocking hides you from each other completely. The other person is not notified.
・Reports are anonymous; the reported person never learns who reported them.
