Guidelines

These describe the culture we want to protect.

What tnkoo is about

Presence. Voice. Curiosity. Human connection without pressure.

It's okay to be quiet. It's okay to leave. It's okay not to click.

Presence

tnkoo requires a profile photo.

This is not about appearance. It is about presence.

You do not need to look a certain way. You do need to show up as yourself.

Respect

• Respect boundaries.
• Consent matters in conversation, tone, and direction.
• No one owes you attention, intimacy, or explanation.
• If someone is uncomfortable, let the moment pass.

Voice etiquette

• Give the call a chance.
• Silence is allowed.
• Leaving without explanation is allowed.
• Do not pressure someone to speak.

Not allowed

• Harassment or bullying
• Coercion or manipulation
• Hate speech or propaganda
• Disinformation
• Recording others without consent

Discouraged

• Premature romantic or sexual advances
• Asking for personal information too early
• Repeatedly pushing or bothering others

Encouraged

• Curiosity and openness
• Leaving conversations better than you found them

If something feels wrong

You can leave a call at any time.

You can block users.

You can report behavior that crosses a line.

You don't need to justify protecting yourself.

A final note

tnkoo is an experiment. Its quality depends on how people show up.

Help us keep it human.
