Community Guidelines

The acronym PLUR — peace, love, unity, respect — has meant something in this community for thirty years. We think the best version of kndi. is one where those four words actually show up in how people treat each other, both on the app and at the events you go to together.

That doesn't mean kndi. is a sanitized space, and it doesn't mean we expect anyone to perform happiness. It means: don't use this app to harm, harass, deceive, or take advantage of other people. Everything below follows from that.

Don't harass, threaten, intimidate, stalk, or bully anyone on kndi. or at events you coordinate through kndi. This includes:

• Sending threats or messages designed to scare, shame, or wear someone down.
• Following or contacting someone after they've blocked you, ended a conversation, or asked you to stop — including by creating a new account or going through someone else.
• Sharing someone's private information (real name, address, workplace, phone number, immigration status, identity documents, medical or recovery information) without their permission. This is true whether you found that information on kndi. or elsewhere.
• Coordinating group harassment, pile-ons, or “raids” against any user.
• Encouraging anyone to harm themselves or others.

If you are in danger or witness someone else in danger at an event, kndi. is not a substitute for emergency services. Call 911 (or your local equivalent) and tell on-site staff or security.

Consent matters in person and on kndi.

Photos and video. Don't post photos or video of someone if they've asked you not to or if it's reasonable to think they wouldn't be okay with it (intimate moments, medical situations, people in distress, identifiable minors who aren't yours). Group photo albums are shared among group members — assume photos posted there are seen by everyone in the group. If someone in your group asks for a photo to be taken down, take it down.

Sexual content. Don't post or send sexually explicit content to anyone who hasn't asked for it. This includes unsolicited explicit images and explicit messages. Don't post intimate imagery of another person without their consent — ever. Sharing non-consensual intimate imagery is grounds for immediate, permanent removal and may be reported to law enforcement.

Minors. kndi. is for users 18 and older. We have zero tolerance for content that sexualizes anyone under 18. Reports involving child sexual abuse material are referred to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and to law enforcement.

Location. kndi. is built around real-world events, but you decide what you share. Don't try to deduce, broadcast, or share another user's location beyond what they've chosen to make visible.

We're not going to pretend the festival and rave scene exists in a vacuum. We also can't and won't allow kndi. to be used as a marketplace for illegal drugs, controlled substances, or counterfeit pharmaceuticals.

You may not use kndi. to:

• Sell, trade, distribute, advertise, or solicit illegal drugs or controlled substances, including by referring users to off-platform sellers.
• Coordinate giving drugs to anyone who has not affirmatively asked for them, who is a minor, or who is not in a state to consent.
• Share content that promotes, glorifies, or instructs people on producing, mixing, or trafficking controlled substances.
• Coordinate underage drinking or any alcohol or substance use that violates the law.

If you or someone near you is experiencing a medical emergency related to substance use, get to on-site medical staff or call emergency services immediately. You will not get in trouble with kndi. for seeking emergency help.

kndi. helps you organize who's going to what — it isn't a ticket marketplace, and we don't verify ticket transactions. Don't:

• Sell, exchange, or transfer counterfeit, stolen, fraudulent, or duplicated tickets.
• Transfer tickets in ways that violate festival, venue, or platform rules.
• Run scams, including fake ticket sales, fake Venmo or Cash App requests, fake “deposits,” romance scams, or pressure tactics targeting other users.
• Use kndi. to advertise unrelated commercial products or services without our permission.

If money changes hands between group members for things like an Airbnb, gas, or a group ticket, that's on you and your group. Be clear about who's paying for what before you commit.

Don't impersonate other users, real people, festivals, venues, artists, or kndi. staff. Don't create accounts that misrepresent your identity in order to deceive other users (a stage name or chosen name is fine; pretending to be someone else is not).

Don't create fake groups, fake events, or use the app to drive people to off-platform schemes under false pretenses.

Kandi — the social tokens you give and receive — only mean something if they're earned. They aren't currency. They have no cash value, can't be bought, and can't be redeemed for anything outside kndi.

Don't:

• Buy, sell, trade, or exchange kandi for money, goods, services, or anything of off-platform value.
• Coordinate “kandi swaps” or reciprocal-exchange rings whose primary purpose is inflating rank rather than recognizing real interactions.
• Operate duplicate, fake, shared, or bot-driven accounts to give or receive kandi.
• Use bugs, exploits, or unintended interactions to obtain kandi.

We may remove kandi, reverse exchanges, lower or freeze a user's rank, or take broader action against accounts that manipulate the system. We decide what counts as manipulation based on the patterns we see, and we're not required to disclose how we detect it.

The rave scene was built on inclusion. We expect kndi. to reflect that.

Don't post content that promotes hatred, dehumanization, or violence against anyone based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, disability, or serious disease. Don't use slurs to attack other users. Don't glorify, celebrate, or recruit for violent organizations.

Discussions of identity, politics, and current events are not banned, but content that targets individuals or groups for who they are is.

Don't:

• Use bots, scrapers, scripts, or automated tools to interact with kndi. or to extract data from it.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or try to access source code, models, or non-public APIs except where law expressly allows.
• Bypass rate limits, authentication, account suspensions, blocks, age gates, or other access controls.
• Distribute malware, phishing links, or anything intended to compromise other users' accounts or devices.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to anyone's account or to our infrastructure.
• Stress-test, denial-of-service, or otherwise interfere with the operation of the Services.

If you're a security researcher and you've found a real vulnerability, report it to [email protected] with the subject “Security report” and we'll route it to the right people.

Don't post content you don't have the right to share. This includes:

• Photos, video, music, art, or other media owned by someone else, posted without permission or a license that allows it.
• Bootleg recordings or rips of artist sets where the artist or festival has prohibited recording.
• Content using festival, venue, or artist trademarks in ways that suggest official affiliation when there isn't one.

If you believe content on kndi. infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice to [email protected] with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). Repeat infringers will lose access to the Services.

If you're using kndi. to coordinate around a specific festival or venue, follow that festival's or venue's rules and code of conduct. Don't use kndi. to organize anything that violates them — sneaking in, reselling banned items, coordinating disruptive behavior, recording where it isn't allowed.

Festival schedules, lineups, set times, and maps in kndi. come from public sources, festival operators, and our own curation. They can change. Always confirm critical details with the official organizer.

A lot of what makes the difference between a great event and a bad one happens in person, not on the app. A few things kndi. supports but can't replace:

• Use meeting points. When phones die or service goes out, a pre-agreed meeting point and time matters more than the app.
• Group check-ins. Pin the Airbnb address, payment links, and emergency contacts on the group board so they don't get lost in chat.
• Watch out for people who aren't okay. If someone in your group or near you is in trouble — physically, medically, or otherwise — get them help. On-site medical and harm-reduction staff are there for exactly this.
• Know your own limits. This is a long day, often a long weekend. Eat. Drink water. Sleep when you can.

kndi. doesn't track your location in real time and doesn't replace common-sense planning. It's a tool, not a babysitter.

kndi. uses a combination of user reporting and human review to identify and act on content that violates these Guidelines.

• User reports. Every profile, message, photo, group, and post has a Report option in the ••• menu. Reports are categorized and routed to our moderation queue.
• Human review. Reports are reviewed by kndi. staff. We do not currently use fully automated content filtering — a person reviews reports and makes enforcement decisions.
• Mandatory reporting. Content depicting child sexual abuse material is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to law enforcement without exception.
• Response time. We prioritize safety reports (threats, CSAM, harassment) and aim to respond within 24 hours. Other reports are reviewed as promptly as we can manage.

We are not obligated to actively monitor all content, and the existence of these moderation processes does not create a duty to detect every violation. If something is urgent or involves imminent physical danger, contact emergency services first — kndi. is not a crisis response system.

When we receive a report, or when we identify a problem on our own, we review it and decide what to do. Possible outcomes include:

• Removing specific content.
• Restricting an account's features (for example, limiting messaging, posting, or kandi exchange).
• Suspending an account for a period of time.
• Permanently terminating an account.
• Removing kandi awarded in violation of these Guidelines or lowering or revoking a user's rank.
• Blocking a device from re-creating accounts.
• Reporting unlawful conduct to law enforcement, and reporting child sexual abuse material to NCMEC as required by law.

We decide what action to take, how broad it is, and when it happens. We don't promise a specific timeline for review, and we're not required to act on every report. We try to be consistent, but each case turns on the specific facts. We may take action on conduct that occurs off-platform — including at events — when it bears on the safety of other kndi. users.

We are not required to monitor everything posted on kndi., and the existence of these Guidelines doesn't create a duty for us to detect every violation.

You don't have to wait for us. The fastest tools are already in the app:

• Report. Every user profile, message, photo, group, and post has a Report option from the ••• menu. Pick a category (harassment, sexual content, drug-related, impersonation, scam or fraud, kandi manipulation, IP, other) and add context if you want. Reports are reviewed; we don't share the reporter's identity with the reported user.
• Block. From any user profile, tap Block. The blocked user can't message you, see your profile, join a group you administer, or interact with your content within kndi. You don't owe anyone a reason.
• Mute. Inside a group, mute the chat to stop notifications without leaving.
• Leave Group. You can leave any group at any time, which removes you from its chat and shared album.
• Email. For situations the in-app tools don't cover — including legal, safety, or IP issues — write to [email protected].

If you're in immediate danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number) first.

If we restrict, suspend, or terminate your account, you can appeal by replying to the notification we send or by writing to [email protected] with the email or phone number on your account. We'll review the appeal and decide whether to maintain, modify, or reverse the action. Our decision on appeal is final, and we're not required to respond within a particular timeframe.

These Guidelines will change as kndi. and the community change. We'll post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll provide additional notice. Continuing to use kndi. after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Guidelines.
