Private by default
Palmi is built around private circles, not public profiles. The product should help people feel held inside a room instead of exposed to the wider network.
That means the default posture is to limit unnecessary visibility, keep room thresholds explicit, and make it clear when a circle has chosen to be discoverable.
Safety is part of the product shape
Good safety comes from product structure as much as policy. Small rooms, visible hosting roles, controlled invite paths, and clear membership context all reduce the ambiguity that makes social spaces feel risky.
The role of moderation
Palmi still uses moderation where needed, but the larger goal is to design rooms that stay understandable and governable before they become chaotic.
- Hosts can control discoverability and access paths
- Join requests can be screened
- Unsafe content can be reviewed and limited
- Members can leave quietly when a room no longer fits
