# Safety First: What to Do if You Feel Harassed or Unsafe

Your safety is our top priority. If you encounter behavior that makes you feel uncomfortable, threatened, or unsafe, we encourage you to take immediate action using the tools provided on the platform.

#### 1. Protect Your Space

The fastest way to stop unwanted interaction is to use the Block feature.

* Block: This completely severs the connection. They will not be able to message you, view your profile, or see your content.

#### 2. Report the Behavior

Reporting alerts our Trust & Safety team so we can investigate and take action (such as warnings or permanent bans).

* To Report a User: Go to their profile, click the three dots (...), and select Report.
* To Report a Message: Long-press the specific message in your DMs and select Report.
* Be Specific: When prompted, choose the category that best describes the issue (e.g., Harassment, Threats, or Hate Speech) and provide details.
