Safety and privacy tools, described exactly as they work
Block, mute and report, human moderation, encryption at rest, and control over what search engines see.
A social network asks for a lot of trust, and the useful thing is to know precisely what its tools do — including where they stop. This page covers the controls Asyncbit gives you over other people, over your own visibility and over your data, and it's explicit about the limits.
You have three tools for dealing with people. Block is the strong one: it hides content in both directions, removes any follows between you and stops messages. Mute is the quiet one: it silently hides their content from you. Report sends something to the moderation team. You can report posts, comments and people for spam, harassment, hate speech, violence, nudity, misinformation, self-harm, impersonation or another reason; on Android you can also report messages, stories and reels.
Behind those reports is layered moderation: automated filters for banned words, rate-based auto-moderation that reacts to unusually fast activity, and a human moderation team that can issue warnings and strikes and apply temporary or permanent bans. The same rules cover anonymous content. Anonymity itself is narrow — only confessions, Q&A questions and polls can be anonymous, and comments are always named — and an anonymous post can't be edited or deleted by its author afterwards.
On privacy: messages are encrypted at rest on the server, not end-to-end, and moderators can review messages that are reported. The show-online setting hides your online status and last seen. Public, named posts, Q&A, profiles and listings can appear in search engines by default; any member can switch that off in privacy settings, and anonymous posts, confessions and invite-only club content never appear there at all. You can export your data, log out of every device at once, and delete your account with 30 days to change your mind.
How safety & privacy works on Asyncbit
- 1
Block or mute someone
Block to cut contact both ways, including follows and messages. Mute to stop seeing someone's content without changing anything else.
- 2
Report what breaks the rules
Pick a reason — spam, harassment, hate speech, violence, nudity, misinformation, self-harm, impersonation or other — and the report goes to moderation.
- 3
Moderators act
Depending on severity and history, that can mean removing content, a warning, a strike, or a temporary or permanent ban.
- 4
Choose your search-engine visibility
In privacy settings, turn off search-engine visibility to stop your public, named posts, Q&A, profile and listings from appearing in search engines.
- 5
Take your data, or leave
Export your data as JSON: your profile, your named posts, your comments and your follow counts. Deleting your account starts a 30-day grace period, and signing back in within it restores the account.
What makes it worth using
Block works both ways
Content is hidden in both directions, follows are removed and messages stop.
Human moderators
Automated filters catch the obvious cases; people handle the rest.
Honest encryption
Messages are encrypted at rest (AES-128-CBC with HMAC-SHA256). Not end-to-end.
Generic push previews
Message notifications say “New message”, not the text of the message.
Log out everywhere
Sign out every device at once. Changing your password also signs out your other sessions.
Login history on Android
The Android app lists your last 20 sign-ins.
Safety & privacy questions
- Can Asyncbit read my messages?
- Messages are encrypted at rest but not end-to-end, so the server can decrypt them to deliver them, and moderators can review messages that someone reports.
- Will my posts show up on Google?
- Public, named posts, Q&A, profiles and listings can appear in search engines by default, and you can turn that off in privacy settings. Anonymous posts, confessions and invite-only club content never appear.
- What happens when I delete my account?
- There's a 30-day grace period, and signing back in during it restores the account. After that it's purged; posts, comments and messages remain without an author attached.
- What if I think a moderation decision was wrong?
- Contact Asyncbit support and explain what happened. There is no in-app appeal form.
