Terms of Service
Last updated: February 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Dissidence ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Platform.
2. Account Registration
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. Registration requires entering your date of birth, and we will not create accounts for users under 18. By registering you confirm the date of birth you provided is accurate; providing a false date to circumvent this requirement is a violation of these Terms, and any account discovered to belong to a user under 18 will be terminated and its data deleted. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and all activity that occurs under it.
3. User Conduct
You agree not to:
- Post content that is illegal, harassing, threatening, or violates others' rights
- Impersonate others or misrepresent your identity
- Spam, manipulate votes, or engage in coordinated inauthentic behavior
- Attempt to circumvent moderation actions or bans
- Use automated tools to access the Platform without authorization
- Upload malware, viruses, or malicious content
4. Content
You retain ownership of content you post. By posting, you grant Dissidence a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display, distribute, and store your content as part of the Platform's operation. You are solely responsible for content you post.
5. Community Guidelines
Individual communities may have additional rules. Community moderators can set and enforce rules within their communities. Platform-wide rules take precedence over community rules.
6. Intellectual Property
The Dissidence name, logo, and Platform design are owned by Dissidence. You may not use our trademarks without permission. We respect intellectual property rights and will respond to valid DMCA takedown requests.
7. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account for violations of these terms or our content policy. You may delete your account at any time through your account settings.
8. Disclaimer
The Platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not responsible for user-generated content. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Platform.
9. Changes
We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
