Community rules
Fern is for investors to watch, read and talk. Bring real opinions, show your reasoning, and treat people like you'd want to be treated when you're wrong. Break these rules and your post comes down; keep breaking them and your account does.
No scams
No fake giveaways, wallet drainers, "send me crypto and I'll double it", impersonating a company or a known investor, or links that exist to take someone's money or keys.
No pumping or market manipulation
Don't coordinate buys to pump a coin or stock, promise guaranteed returns, claim inside information, or post a take because someone paid you to without saying so. Talking up something you own is fine — say you own it.
No threats or harassment
No threats of violence, no bullying, no piling on someone, no slurs or attacks on a group of people. Disagree with the take, not the person.
No private information
Never post someone's address, phone number, ID, wallet ownership, private messages or anything else that could be used to find or hurt them.
Nothing sexual, and nothing involving minors
No nudity or sexual content. Anything that sexualises, grooms or endangers a child is removed and reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), which works with the police — and the account is closed.
Post your own work
Don't upload someone else's video, chart or writing as if it were yours. Quoting a clip or a headline to talk about it is fine — passing it off isn't. If your work turns up here, the Copyright page in Settings says how to get it taken down.
No spam
No bots, no reposting the same thing over and over, no off-topic flooding. Post because you have something to say.
No financial advice
Fern is a place to watch, read and talk about markets. A take is an opinion, not a recommendation. Don't present it as one, and don't act on anyone else's as if it were.
How reporting works
Tap the ⋯ on any post, the flag on any comment, or the ⋯ on a profile to report it or block the person. Reports are anonymous. A person, not a bot, looks at every report within 24 hours. Blocking hides the two of you from each other immediately, and you can undo it in Settings.
Complaints and appeals
If something was removed and you think we got it wrong, or you need to reach a human about anything on Fern, email thefern.app@gmail.com. We reply within 24 hours.
These rules are part of Fern's Terms of Service.
