Building real communities
starts with respect.

Our community guidelines

Twelve principles to help every member of Tribe feel safe, valued, trusted, and genuinely connected.

Guideline 01

Be Respectful

Every community on Tribe should feel welcoming and human. We encourage respectful conversations, healthy discussions, constructive engagement, cultural understanding, and positive interaction between members.

People from different neighborhoods, beliefs, and cultures all deserve respectful communication.

Guideline 02

Promote Authentic Interaction

Tribe is designed around real-world belonging. We encourage users to participate genuinely, connect meaningfully, contribute positively, and engage honestly within communities.

Communities thrive when interactions are authentic rather than misleading or manipulative.

Guideline 03

Protect Community Trust

Trust is one of the foundations of Tribe. To help maintain trusted communities, users should avoid impersonation, deceptive behavior, spam, fake engagement, misinformation, or activity that damages community confidence.

Healthy communities depend on accountability and integrity.

Guideline 04

Encourage Healthy Discussions

Tribe supports conversations around neighborhoods, culture, sports, religion, occupations, schools, politics, and local issues. We encourage discussions that are thoughtful, constructive, informative, and community-oriented.

Disagreement is natural, but hostility and harmful behavior weaken communities.

Guideline 05

Respect Cultural Diversity

Tribe represents diverse communities across Africa and beyond. We encourage users to respect cultural identity, local traditions, language diversity, religious expression, and different perspectives.

Communities become stronger when diversity is treated with dignity and understanding.

Guideline 06

Keep Communities Safe

To maintain a positive environment, users should avoid content or behavior that may threaten others, promote violence, encourage harmful activity, exploit communities, or intentionally disrupt healthy interaction.

Our goal is to help communities feel safe, trusted, and constructive.

Guideline 07

Meaningful Content Matters

Tribe encourages content that informs, connects, educates, supports, celebrates, or strengthens communities. Digital communities become more valuable when content reflects real human experiences and local relevance.

Guideline 08

Respect Privacy & Boundaries

Communities work best when people feel secure. Users should respect personal privacy, boundaries, consent, and the safety of others.

Tribe supports trusted interaction without exposing sensitive personal information publicly.

Guideline 09

Neighborhood & Identity Integrity

Because Tribe connects real communities, certain features may involve neighborhood verification, identity consistency, or community validation systems. Users are encouraged to engage honestly and avoid attempts to manipulate community structures or trust systems.

Authenticity helps maintain stronger communities for everyone.

Guideline 10

Community Moderation

To support healthy participation, Tribe may review reported content, harmful activity, abusive behavior, or actions that negatively affect communities. Our moderation efforts are intended to protect community quality, trust, and user experience.

Guideline 11

A Platform Built Around Belonging

Tribe is not designed around anonymous virality or endless noise. We are building trusted community spaces, authentic local interaction, meaningful social connection, and healthier digital environments.

Everything on Tribe is designed to encourage people to feel connected to real communities, not disconnected from them.

Guideline 12

Help Shape the Future

Every user contributes to the culture of Tribe. By participating respectfully and positively, users help create stronger neighborhoods, better conversations, healthier communities, and more meaningful digital relationships.

Together, we can build a platform where real communities thrive online.
