Code of Conduct 🌿

The goal of this space to to create a regulatory space for connection and support.

These guidelines are in place to provide a welcoming and accessible space.


Be kind.

No hate speech or trolling will be tolerated.

This includes racial slurs and negative stereotyping of any kind.

This is an LGBTQIA+ affirming space. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

If we had a brick and mortar we’d be flying a pride flag.

Please behave appropriately. Be respectful of pronouns and gender identities.

This is a neurodiversity affirming space.

Harmful terms and stereotypes should not be unpacked here due to the associated trauma some members may have. These include, but are not limited to terms like: Aspergers, HSP, “low functioning / high functioning” labels, ABA therapy, etc.

This is a no news space.

The Neuro Nest is a space to connect through shared interests and creative expression. This is not the space to discuss breaking news or current events. Advocacy and organizing is important work, but should take place elsewhere.

No AI.

This is a space for human connection.

No AI generated art, text, or information may be posted.

When tools like transcription tools are used a concerted effort will be made to proofread for accuracy.

Avoid triggering topics.

We all deserve a space we can connect without endangering our nervous systems. These boundaries exist to protect our energetic capacity and safeguard members with related trauma.

If your post needs a content warning it is not appropriate to post.

This includes but is not limited to:

- Violence

- Sexual Acts

- Profanity

- Prescription Medication, Drugs, or Smoking

- Suicidal Themes

- Body Shaming

- Weight Loss Culture

- News Headlines

- Religion, Deconstruction, or Religious Trauma

These are firm guidelines. Please discuss these topics elsewhere.

No public shaming.

This is not the place to publicly shame anyone. Some neurodivergent members may misread social situations or mistakenly use harmful terms. If the community guidelines are broken the post will be removed as soon as possible. Please use other avenues of communication for heated debate and disagreement.


UNFURL will hold space for individuals to learn and grow, but willful disregard for the community guidelines will result in banning.
