Community Guidelines

Alma Community Guidelines

The Alma community exists to support moms, not judge them.

These guidelines help keep the space safe, respectful, and helpful.


1. Be Kind and Respectful

  • ✔ Share experiences, not attacks
  • ✔ Support different parenting choices
  • ✔ Assume good intentions
  • 🚫 No shaming, guilt-tripping, or personal attacks
  • 🚫 No harassment, hate speech, or discrimination

2. No Medical Misinformation

You may:

  • • Share personal experiences
  • • Ask questions
  • • Discuss what worked for you

You may NOT:

  • • Give medical diagnoses
  • • Promote unverified treatments
  • • Discourage professional care
  • • Share dangerous or disproven advice
Alma may add context or corrections to protect safety.

3. Personal Experience ≠ Medical Advice

Always frame advice as:

"This was my experience"
not
"This is what you should do"

4. Privacy Matters

  • 🚫 Do not share:
  • • Personal contact info
  • • Identifiable photos of children
  • • Medical records
  • • Other users' private information

5. Sensitive Topics

Topics like:

  • Mental health
  • Pregnancy loss
  • Postpartum depression
  • Fertility challenges

Are welcome — with care and respect.

Content encouraging self-harm, harm to others, or medical neglect will be removed and escalated.

6. Reporting & Moderation

You can report:

  • A specific comment
  • A specific post
  • A user profile

Why report comments instead of users?

→ It allows precise moderation without silencing someone unfairly.

Moderators and AI safety systems review reports promptly.

7. Enforcement

We may:

  • Remove content
  • Issue warnings
  • Temporarily restrict accounts
  • Permanently ban users in serious cases

Our priority is mom safety, not engagement metrics.

8. Our Promise

Alma's community is:

  • Judgment-free
  • Evidence-aware
  • Moderated
  • Built for moms, by moms' needs
