Community Guidelines
Little Lift community conversations exist so people can exchange useful local knowledge without giving up their privacy or dignity. Posts and replies normally appear right away after a basic automated safety screen. Content that may promote hate or violence is held for review.
Share information that helps
- Resource names, official phone numbers, public addresses, hours, and service changes
- Respectful questions, practical tips, local events, and firsthand experiences
- Clear details about the city, county, or area a resource serves
- Corrections when information has changed, with an official source when possible
Keep private information private
Never post Social Security numbers, benefits case numbers, medical records, passwords, bank or payment information, personal phone numbers, private home addresses, immigration document numbers, or another person's private details. Public names may be a first name, initials, or a nickname. Email addresses are collected privately for moderation and are not shown with posts.
What is not allowed
- Threats, harassment, hate speech, stalking, or attempts to identify another person
- Scams, deceptive fundraising, spam, repeated promotion, or hidden referral links
- Medical, legal, tax, or financial claims presented as guaranteed professional advice
- Requests to buy, sell, or exchange controlled items or illegal services
- Graphic content, sexual content, or content that exploits a child or vulnerable person
- Political attacks that do not provide useful local resource information
Safety review and removal
Automated screening can make mistakes. A post that may promote hate or violence can be held for human review, and any published post can be reported. Little Lift may approve, decline, or remove content to protect participants and keep the conversation useful. Publication does not mean Little Lift endorses or guarantees a resource. Important information should always be confirmed with the official organization.
Conversation tools
People can mark posts helpful, reply, report a concern, or hide an author on their own device. A person who starts a discussion can mark it solved from the same device. When email delivery is configured, Little Lift sends private reply notifications and an optional email-confirmation link. Regular organizations may receive a verified-contributor badge only after their identity and authority to update a resource are checked.
Emergencies
These boards are not monitored continuously and cannot provide emergency response. Contact local emergency services when someone is in immediate danger. In the United States or Canada, call or text 988 for crisis support. For other locations, use the main resource guide to find an appropriate official starting point.
