Freddie is a BIPOC-centered sapphic, trans, and gender diverse community app where you can find friends, events, & lovers. To maintain a fun and safe environment, we need your help.

We reserve the right to update, modify, or amend these Community Guidelines at our sole discretion, without prior notice. Any changes will become effective immediately upon posting. Continued use of the platform after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised guidelines. Please check this section periodically to stay informed.

Violations may result in account suspension or permanent bans.

Freddie is for Adults Only (18+)

Be Respectful to One Another

  • We don’t tolerate harassment, hate, violence, or exploitation of any form.

  • Community discourse and conflict resolution is key to having a safe community space. Users who post problematic takes and then proceed to block users and disable their post comments to avoid community discourse will be banned. This behavior shows you are not a safe community member and you should not be allowed to engage on our platform.

  • Disagreements? Don't like someone? Use the block feature instead of false reporting. Users who continually false report as a way to bully, intimidate, manipulate, etc will be subject to a permanent ban.

  • Report harmful behavior through the app or at support@freddiesocial.com.

No Criminal Histories of Sexual or Violent Offenses

  • Users with a history of sexual or violent crimes are strictly prohibited.

  • Discovered offenders will face permanent bans.

Be Yourself

  • Impersonation is not allowed.

  • Only one personal account per user.

  • VOIP phone numbers are banned to curb scams.

Don’t Be a Spammer / Scammer

  • Thoughtful engagement is key—no mass messaging or repetitive posts.

  • Spam in the feed or personals leads to account suspension.

  • Targeting users for scams (e.g., money or data) results in lifetime bans and potential legal action.

We Support Mutual Aid

  • Mutual aid calls are welcome in public spaces on the app.

  • Do not offer or imply favors, items, or explicit content in exchange for money.

  • Do not DM users asking for money, even if they’ve interacted with your post.

    • This includes sending direct money requests to users who have donated in the past.

  • Mutual aid must be consensual, transparent, and non-coercive. Pressuring or manipulating users for donations—including blocking them after refusal—is not allowed.

  • Any reports of harassment, manipulation, or exploitative behavior related to mutual aid may result in removal or a ban.

No Solicitation

We do not allow selling or promotion of the following:

  • Sex work, escorting, or services adjacent to sex or dating

  • Requests for explicit content

  • Coercion or manipulation to share sensitive information (e.g., financials, nudes, location)

Report any behavior that feels exploitative, especially in DMs. Safety comes first.

Illegal Activities Are Not Allowed

  • Engaging in criminal activities will lead to immediate action, including bans.

No Dangerous or Harmful Content

We strictly prohibit any content that promotes, discusses, or shares instructions for:

  • Creating, using, or distributing explosives, gunpowder, or other harmful devices

  • Manufacturing or distributing illegal substances, drugs, or poisons

  • Creating or using chemical weapons or hazardous materials

  • Engaging in any activity that promotes violence, harm, or illegal behavior

Users posting such content will face immediate bans and potential reporting to law enforcement.

No Content Glorifying or Encouraging Suicide

  • Content that glorifies, promotes, or encourages suicide is strictly prohibited.

  • Sharing instructions or methods for self-harm or suicide is banned.

Off-Platform Behavior

Freddie is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for sapphic, queer, and gender-diverse communities. We understand that off-platform behavior can affect the safety and well-being of our members.

Impact on the Community:

  • Any off-platform behavior that creates a legitimate risk or harm to members—including threats, abuse, stalking, or harassment—may result in warnings, account suspension, or permanent ban.

Verification and Investigation:

  • We review reports carefully and consider the credibility of the report, its impact, and any patterns of concerning behavior.

Privacy and Confidentiality:

  • Reports will be handled confidentially unless legal or safety obligations require disclosure.

Final Decision:

  • Freddie reserves the right to act in alignment with our mission to foster a safe, inclusive community, even for off-platform behavior.
