We’re working to remove content that has the potential to contribute to real world harm, including through our policies prohibiting coordination of harm, sale of medical masks and related goods, hate speech, bullying and harassment and misinformation that contributes to the risk of imminent violence or physical harm.

Welcome to Spibe! Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable environment for all of our users. These Community Guidelines outline the standards of behavior expected from members of our community. By using our app, you agree to abide by these guidelines.
