Community Rules

Grumle is a peer-to-peer recovery space.

These rules exist to protect people, not to control them.

The spirit of Grumle

Grumle is:

  • human
  • private by default
  • supportive
  • recovery-focused

It is not:

  • social media
  • a replacement for therapy
  • a place to expose others
  • a place for arguments or pile-ons

Please stay focused on personal sharing, not on debating or exposing others.

Core principles

  1. Talk about yourself
  2. Protect privacy
  3. Be honest and be kind
  4. Strong feelings are allowed; attacks are not
  5. Safety comes first

If something conflicts with these, it won’t be posted.

What’s welcome here

You’re welcome to:

  • share your own experience
  • be unsure, angry, tired, or stuck
  • write imperfectly
  • stay anonymous
  • change your mind

Pain is not a rule-break.

What’s not allowed

To protect everyone, we don’t allow:

  • naming or identifying other people
  • photos of other people
  • harassment, threats, or intimidation
  • hate speech or calls for violence
  • instructions for harm or illegal activity

These boundaries are firm.

Privacy matters

  • No names of others
  • No identifying details
  • When in doubt, keep it private

Moderators may remove details even if intent was good.

Moderation

Moderation is:

  • safety-first
  • calm
  • transparent

The goal is care, not punishment.

Final note

Grumle works because people protect the space together.

You don’t need to be perfect.

You do need to be respectful.
