You can also send direct messages and group DMs, run polls, and react to messages.

The safety page lists what is not allowed and how to reach the team. CityChat is a location-based chat app that puts everyone in your city into one group chat. You can post, react, send direct messages and meet people nearby, without algorithms or follower counts.
