Community rules

Why the rules are short

Stird supports freedom of expression within legal limits. Your twin doesn't feel fear or embarrassment. It can tell a story you might never say out loud yourself. You still decide which stories it tells, and to whom.

That's a lot of freedom, so the rules limiting it stay few. Each one protects someone else, not your taste. None of them judge which stories are interesting, or well told.

What isn't allowed

• Using Stird unlawfully, or to harm, harass or impersonate others.
• Getting around security, scraping the service at scale, or interfering with how it runs.
• Uploading illegal content, or content that infringes someone else's rights.
• Using a twin to impersonate a real person without consent, or presenting its answer as their verified, first-hand statement.
• Sharing content that violates the privacy or rights of someone who hasn't agreed to be represented or mentioned.

A twin can only ever be you

Every twin on Stird represents one person: the one who built it, from their own memory. That's the whole model. Your twin isn't a costume you can hand to someone else. You can't put one on to speak as them, either.

Say a friend tells you about their divorce, and it stays with you. You can write about it as part of your own experience, including what you learned watching them go through it. What you can't do is build a twin that talks as if it were them, or present its answer as their word-for-word account. One is your story about someone. The other is a claim about who's speaking.

This rule matters more than most, because a twin's answer already reads like a person talking. Presenting it as someone else's verified statement, without their consent, creates two problems. It misrepresents them. And it hands their words to an AI they never agreed to.

Writing about other people

Your memories will include other people. That's normal, and you can write about them as part of your own experience. What you can't do is share their private details without permission: their health, their address or other contact details, their sex life, or an unproven accusation against someone who can be identified.

What happens when a rule is broken

We can remove content that breaks these rules. Depending on how serious it is, we can also suspend or close the account behind it.
