The principles that guide everything we build.

Values About Community Standards Support

Chismis was created to give people a place to talk honestly about what is happening around them. Every community has conversations that happen quietly between friends, coworkers, classmates, and neighbors.

Chismis brings those conversations into a shared space where people can exchange ideas, express opinions, and understand what others around them are thinking and feeling.

Our goal is not just to host conversations — it is to build communities where people feel comfortable sharing their voice.


1. Honest conversation

We believe people should be able to speak openly about the things that affect their lives — from everyday experiences to serious community issues.

Chismis encourages honest opinions, thoughtful discussions, and respectful disagreement.

2. Local community voice

Chismis is built around local communities. Conversations are most meaningful when they come from people who live, study, and work in the same places.

By focusing on nearby discussions, Chismis helps communities better understand what people around them care about.

3. Respect for people

Behind every post and comment is a real person. Even when opinions differ, conversations should remain respectful.

We believe strong discussions can happen without harassment, threats, or personal attacks.

4. Privacy and safety

Chismis protects the privacy of individuals. Conversations should focus on ideas, events, and experiences — not exposing or targeting private people.

Respecting privacy helps keep the platform safe for everyone.

5. Diversity of perspectives

Communities are made up of many different voices and viewpoints. Chismis welcomes a wide range of opinions and experiences.

Healthy communities grow when people listen, learn, and understand perspectives different from their own.

6. Creativity and humor

Not every conversation needs to be serious. Humor, creativity, and everyday stories are an important part of what makes communities feel alive.

Whether it's a funny observation, a local story, or a thoughtful post, Chismis celebrates authentic voices.

7. Responsibility

Freedom of expression comes with responsibility. Users are responsible for the content they post and how their words affect others.

By participating on Chismis, you help shape the culture and environment of the community. Together we can create a space where conversations are honest, thoughtful, and respectful.
