Fikir

Community Guidelines

Effective date: October 4, 2026

Fikir is a dating app for the Ethiopian and Eritrean (Habesha) diaspora. These guidelines describe how we expect every member to behave on Fikir, and how we respond when someone doesn't. They apply to everything you do on Fikir — your profile, your photos, your messages, your Spark videos, and any content you share with another member.

By using Fikir, you agree to follow these guidelines. We may suspend or permanently remove accounts that violate them. These guidelines are in addition to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

1. Be yourself. Be 18+.

• You must be at least 18 years old to use Fikir. We verify your age at sign-up and remove accounts that misrepresent it.
• Use your real first name and recent photos of yourself. No celebrities, no stock imagery, no photos of other people.
• One account per person. Duplicate or impersonation accounts are removed on sight.
• Don't use Fikir on behalf of someone else, including a friend or family member.

2. Treat every member with respect.

• No harassment, bullying, stalking, or threatening behavior — in messages, in Spark comments, or anywhere else on Fikir.
• No slurs or attacks based on race, ethnicity, nationality, country of origin, faith, political affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other identity.
• Habesha identity is diverse. Ethiopian, Eritrean, Oromo, Amhara, Tigrayan, Tigrinya, Afar, and every other community is welcome. Fikir is not the place for political or ethnic hostility.
• Don't send unsolicited sexual messages, images, or requests. A match is not consent — ask.

3. Keep Fikir safe and clean.

• No nudity, no sexually explicit content, no pornographic material — in photos, Sparks, or messages. This includes implied nudity.
• No violence, no self-harm content, no graphic imagery.
• No weapons, drugs, alcohol marketing, or other illegal content in photos or profiles.
• No content involving minors in any capacity. Zero tolerance. Violations are reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to law enforcement.

4. Don't scam, solicit, or market.

• No prostitution, escort services, sugar arrangements, or "pay-to-meet" offers.
• No romance scams, fake investment pitches, cryptocurrency promotions, or wire-transfer requests.
• No commercial promotion — Fikir is for personal connections, not advertising your business, OnlyFans, Telegram channel, or any other service.
• Don't ask for money, gift cards, or financial favors from other members. If another member asks you, report them immediately.

5. Protect everyone's privacy.

• Don't share another member's photos, messages, or personal information outside Fikir without their explicit consent.
• Don't share your own full home address, bank details, or government IDs with other members. We will never ask for those.
• Don't attempt to identify or contact a member outside Fikir if they haven't shared that information with you.

6. Report what you see.

If anything on Fikir makes you uncomfortable or breaks these guidelines, tell us. In the app, open the person's profile → tap the three-dot menu → Report or Block. You can also email us at team@fikirdating.app.

Our team reviews every report, typically within 24 hours. Reports are confidential — the person you report is never told who reported them. Blocking is instant and silent; the other person is not notified.

7. How we enforce these guidelines.

Depending on severity, we may:

• Warn the member and ask them to remove or edit content.
• Hide a profile, photo, or message from the community.
• Temporarily suspend the account.
• Permanently remove the account and ban the person from re-joining.
• Report to law enforcement where required by law (for example, in cases involving minors, credible threats of violence, or financial fraud).

Serious violations — content involving minors, credible threats, verified harassment, scams — result in immediate permanent removal without warning.

8. If you disagree with a decision.

If your account has been suspended or removed and you believe it was in error, email team@fikirdating.app with "Appeal" in the subject line and a brief explanation. We'll review and respond within 7 days.

Updates to these guidelines

We update these guidelines as Fikir grows and as new issues come up. The effective date at the top shows when they were last revised. Material changes will be announced in-app before taking effect.

Thank you for helping us build a safer, warmer, more real community for the Habesha diaspora. We're glad you're here.
