Building real communities
starts with respect.
Tribe was created to strengthen real-world human connection in the digital age. Because Tribe reflects real communities, we encourage interactions that are respectful, authentic, and community-centered.
Our community guidelines
Twelve principles to help every member of Tribe feel safe, valued, trusted, and genuinely connected.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Closing Statement
Tribe is building the digital infrastructure for real-world communities. These Community Guidelines exist to support:
Because communities grow stronger when people feel valued, respected, and connected — both offline and online.
