Content Guidelines

What belongs here

Moments is for:

• Digital photographs
• Film photographs
• Scanned prints or negatives
• Phone photos
• Camera photos
• Old family photos
• Photo journals
• Travel photos
• Street photos
• Everyday scenes
• Family, walks, work, places, objects, light, weather, meals, rooms, and small ordinary things

Edited photos are welcome, as long as they are still clearly photographs.

Cropping, colour correction, black and white edits, film simulations, exposure changes, grain, contrast, dust removal, and similar photographic edits are all fine.

What does not belong here

Moments is not for:

• AI-generated images
• AI “photo style” images
• Illustrations
• Drawings
• Graphic design work
• Memes
• Screenshots
• Posters
• Logos
• Banners
• Promotional graphics
• Quote cards
• Notes saved as images
• Images made mostly of text
• Photos with text added on top afterwards

If the image was made to be read, rather than viewed as a photograph, it probably does not belong on Moments.

Please upload photographs you took or can share

Only upload photographs that you took yourself, or photographs you have permission to share.

That can include photos taken by a friend, partner, family member, or collaborator, as long as they are happy for you to publish them.

Please do not upload other people’s work without permission.

Text belongs in the note

Words are welcome on Moments.

You can use the note field for captions, memories, dates, camera details, locations, thoughts, or anything else you want to remember.

Please do not upload text as an image. Write it as part of the moment instead.

Text inside a real scene is fine

A photograph can naturally include text.

A street sign, menu, book cover, notebook, shop window, poster on a wall, or handwritten note on a table can all be part of a real photograph.

The line is about added or designed text.

• A photo of a notebook is fine. A screenshot of a note is not.
• A photo of a sign in the street is fine. A quote card is not.
• A photo of a poster on a wall is fine. A poster uploaded as the image itself is not.

Be thoughtful with people and private places

Moments is mostly public by design, so please be thoughtful about what you share.

Avoid uploading private, sensitive, or embarrassing photos of other people without their permission.

Please do not share photos that expose someone’s private information, home address, personal documents, or anything they would reasonably expect to stay private.

Content that is not allowed

Moments is a public photo journal platform, so some content does not belong here, even if it is photographic.

Please do not upload:

• Porn or sexually explicit content
• Nude or sexual images
• Sexual content involving minors in any form
• Hate, abuse, harassment, or threats
• Content that attacks people based on who they are
• Extremist symbols, propaganda, or praise
• Graphic violence, gore, or shock content
• Content that promotes self-harm, abuse, or dangerous behaviour
• Illegal content
• Spam, scams, or misleading promotional content

This is not meant to make Moments feel strict or corporate. It is just the basic line needed to keep the place safe, calm, and welcoming.

Why this boundary exists

Moments is intentionally narrow.

There are many good places on the internet for AI images, screenshots, design work, memes, notes, and visual ideas.

Moments is for photo journals.

Keeping that boundary helps the place stay calm, personal, and photographic.

Moderation

If something does not fit these guidelines, it may be hidden from discovery or removed.

This is not about judging quality or taste.

Your photos do not need to be polished, artistic, expensive, or impressive.

The only question is whether the upload belongs in a photo journal.

When unsure

Ask yourself:

“Is this a photograph?”

“Did I take it, or do I have permission to share it?”

If the answer to both is yes, it probably belongs on Moments.
