Community Guidelines
Last updated: 26 August 2026
DeHub is a decentralized, user-owned platform, but it is not a place without rules. These guidelines set out what is and is not allowed, how to report content, and what happens after a report is made. Policy is set by community governance; enforcement is carried out promptly by designated moderators.
What Is Not Allowed
The following content and behaviour are prohibited anywhere on DeHub, including posts, comments, streams, messages, profiles and usernames:
- Illegal content of any kind, or content that facilitates illegal activity
- Child sexual abuse material, or any sexualised depiction of minors. This is reported to the relevant authorities and results in immediate permanent removal
- Incitement to violence, threats of violence, or glorification of violent extremism and terrorism
- Harassment, bullying and targeted abuse, including coordinated pile-ons
- Hate speech, including attacks on people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, disease, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation
- Doxxing or publishing another person's private information without their consent
- Spam, engagement manipulation, bot networks, and artificial inflation of views, votes or rewards
- Impersonation of another person, creator, brand or project
- Malware, phishing links, wallet drainers, and scam or fraudulent financial schemes
Adult Content
Explicit pornography is not permitted on DeHub and will be removed. Non-explicit nudity and mature themes are allowed but must be marked as mature using the content rating control when you post, so that other users and age-appropriate filters can handle it correctly. Repeatedly failing to mark mature content is itself a breach of these guidelines.
How to Report
Reporting takes a couple of taps and can be done from the content itself:
- Any post, comment, stream or message can be reported using the report option on the item
- You can block another account to stop all interaction with it
- You can mute an account to remove it from your feeds without blocking it
- For urgent or legal matters, email dev@dehub.io
What Happens Next
Reports are reviewed by designated moderators — community-elected administrators and top-ranking badge holders — who hold delegated authority to act without waiting for a governance vote.
- Content that breaches these guidelines is removed
- Accounts responsible for abusive behaviour are suspended or restricted
- Repeat or severe breaches lead to permanent removal of the account
- Illegal material is escalated to the appropriate authorities where required by law
Appeals
If you believe a moderation decision was wrong, it can be appealed through community governance. Governance sets the policy moderators enforce and can review or reverse individual decisions. Enforcement, however, is immediate — content stays down while an appeal is considered.
