DarkSwipe safety and moderation
Safer alternative dating through moderation, reporting, and clear community standards.
- Report and block users directly in the app
- Moderation actions for policy violations
- Zero tolerance for fraud, hate speech, and abusive behavior
Moderation that actually looks
DarkSwipe is actively moderated. Reported profiles, photos, and chats enter a queue and are reviewed by real people. That keeps the dark alternative scene free of fakes, spam, and abusive behavior.
You stay in control
Messaging only unlocks after a match, and you can report or block anyone at any time. No open DMs, no pressure, no stress while getting to know people.
Clear rules for a healthy community
Fraud, hate speech, discrimination, and abusive behavior are consistently enforced. Depending on severity, violations lead to a warning, limited visibility, or a ban. Full community rules: /rules — community from 16, dating from 18.
Frequently asked safety questions

- You can report profiles and chats directly in the app via the report icon. Every report enters our moderation queue and is reviewed manually.
- What happens when someone breaks the rules?
- Depending on severity we warn, limit visibility (shadowban), or suspend the account. We have zero tolerance for fraud and hate speech.
- Are photos reviewed?
