Community
Community guidelines.
Short, human rules — written to protect each other, not to lawyer at you.
Lead with kindness.
Communication looks different for everyone. Patience is part of the culture here.
Respect ASL and Deaf culture.
ASL is a language, not a workaround. Deaf identity is not a deficit.
No harassment or hate.
Discrimination, slurs, or targeting people for who they are isn't welcome.
No scams or fake opportunities.
Don't pay to apply. Don't share sensitive info publicly. Verify independently.
Support accessibility.
Caption your videos. Describe your images. Make space for different ways of communicating.
Help build opportunity.
Recommend businesses. Mentor newcomers. Share what you learned the hard way.
Meet safely.
- Verify employers and clients independently before sharing personal information.
- Avoid sharing your address, SSN, or banking info in public threads.
- Meet first in public places. Bring a friend when possible.
- Trust your gut. If something feels off, report it.
