Staying Safe on Skeleton Social: Tips, Rules, and Guidelines for Your Peace of Mind

At Skeleton Social, we want you to feel free to be yourself, share your thoughts, and connect with others—without fear or judgment. But even in an anonymous space like ours, it’s important to stay safe and be smart. Whether you’re new here or a regular, we’ve put together some safety tips, rules, and guidelines to make sure you have the best possible experience on the app.

We’re keeping it real and friendly, but these tips are serious—and they’re here to help.

1. Protect Your Anonymity

The beauty of Skeleton Social is that you can say what’s on your mind without revealing your identity. But you have to protect that anonymity yourself! Here’s how:

  • Avoid sharing personal details: Don’t drop your real name, phone number, or home address in your posts. Keep your true identity under wraps.
  • Be careful with photos: At the moment you can’t share photos on the platform but if you choose to do so on another platform, make sure there’s nothing in the background that gives away your location or identity.
  • Don’t overshare in DMs: Even if you connect with someone who seems cool, remember that they’re still a stranger online. Keep it low-key.

2. Think Twice Before Meeting Up

Sometimes you vibe with someone and want to meet in person. But before you take that step, make sure you follow these guidelines:

  • Meet in public: Always choose a public place for your first meeting, like a café or a busy park.
  • Tell someone you trust: Let a friend or family member know where you’re going and who you’re meeting.
  • Don’t rush: Take your time getting to know the person online before meeting up. There’s no pressure to meet anyone until you’re 100% comfortable.

3. Be Mindful of What You Share

Skeleton Social is a space for unfiltered thoughts—but there are still limits. Avoid posting anything that could cause harm to yourself or others.

  • Don’t send money: No matter how convincing someone seems, never send money or share financial details with anyone on the app.
  • Beware of pretentious profiles: Sometimes people pretend to be someone they’re not. If someone’s too good to be true, they probably are.
  • Watch out for links: Be careful if someone sends you a link, especially if it looks suspicious. It could lead to harmful websites.

5. Respect Others’ Boundaries

Not everyone is on Skeleton Social for the same reasons. Some want deep conversations, while others are just here for fun. Either way, respect everyone’s boundaries.

  • No means no: If someone doesn’t want to meet up or chat, don’t push it.
  • Keep things friendly: Be kind, respectful, and open-minded. We’re all here to connect in a positive, judgment-free space.
  • Understand when to disengage: If someone isn’t vibing with your energy, it’s okay to move on. Don’t force conversations that aren’t flowing.

4. Stay Alert for Scams

Scammers are everywhere online, and even an anonymous app isn’t immune. Here’s how to spot and avoid them:

  • Don’t send money: No matter how convincing someone seems, never send money or share financial details with anyone on the app.
  • Beware of pretentious profiles: Sometimes people pretend to be someone they’re not. If someone’s too good to be true, they probably are.
  • Watch out for links: Be careful if someone sends you a link, especially if it looks suspicious. It could lead to harmful websites.

6. Trust Your Instincts

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your gut. Whether it’s an uncomfortable conversation or a sketchy meet-up suggestion, listen to your instincts. You’re in control of your experience, so don’t hesitate to block, report, or disengage when necessary.

Final Thoughts: Safety is Everyone’s Job

At the end of the day, we want Skeleton Social to be a place where you can truly be yourself without any fear. But safety is something we all have to take seriously. By following these tips and guidelines, you’re doing your part to keep the community safe, fun, and free for everyone.
