Hi there! 👋🏽 Hideout is currently in early alpha and we’re learning a lot each day. As we open up to a broader audience, we expect this document to evolve. If you have any feedback or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you.

These Community Guidelines are meant to help you better understand:

• The principles that we think make Hideout a special place
• The primary roles that users play in Hideout
• The rules we expect you to abide by as a Hideout user
• What you can do if you come across inappropriate behavior

Principles

Hideout was designed to be a space for wondering—where people can have fun, learn, make meaningful connections, and think about the future in a safe and constructive way. Below are a few guiding principles that we believe are important.

• Be yourself. The authenticity of Hideout begins with the people.
• Be respectful. This applies to every person, at all times.
• Be inclusive. Tolerate, welcome, and consider diverse people and perspectives.
• Build empathy and understanding. Engage in conversations and debates with good faith.
• Foster meaningful and genuine connections. This is what Hideout is all about.

Please note that these principles are intended to be high-level guidelines only. If you’re interested in knowing what can get people kicked off Hideout, please see the Rules sections below. 🙂
