Nexus exists so people can talk — freely, privately, and without being
someone else's product. That only works if the space stays livable. These
rules are few, but they are firm.
Zero tolerance — immediate permanent removal
Sexual content involving minors, in any form,
real or generated. Removed, banned, and reported to authorities.
No appeals.
Credible threats of violence or incitement to
violence against people or groups.
Illegal content under applicable law — including
trafficking, sale of illegal goods, and content you are legally
prohibited from distributing.
Not tolerated — removal and escalating suspensions
Harassment and bullying. Disagreement is fine.
Sustained targeting of a person — pile-ons, slurs, degrading
campaigns — is not.
Doxxing. Publishing someone's private information
(address, phone, workplace, legal name they don't use publicly)
without consent. First offense is usually the last.
Malware & phishing. Distributing malicious
software or links designed to steal accounts or data.
Spam & platform abuse. Bulk unsolicited messages,
scraping, exploiting bugs instead of reporting them, or evading
rate limits and suspensions.
Impersonation of people, staff, or organizations in
a way designed to deceive.
How enforcement works here
Report what happened, not what you claim happened.
Reports are filed by selecting the actual messages. Our servers
snapshot them as evidence at that moment — editing or deleting after
the fact doesn't hide anything, and fabricated "evidence" from
outside the platform simply cannot be submitted. Nobody can be framed
by a doctored screenshot or an AI-generated clip.
Moderators are a separate, audited staff system — every action they
take is permanently logged.
False or bad-faith reporting wastes moderator time and is itself a
violation. Report honestly.
Server owners run their own communities and may set stricter rules
for their servers; these guidelines are the platform-wide floor.
What we don't police
Being wrong, being blunt, dark humor between consenting adults, heated
arguments, or opinions someone dislikes. We moderate conduct, not
viewpoints. And your end-to-end encrypted DMs are exactly that —
encrypted; we couldn't read them if we wanted to. Moderation there relies
on participants reporting.
