Meeting people and setting boundaries

Your block, workplace, venues, organisations and public places create natural reasons to cross paths. The People page shows who you know and the kind of connection you already have.

Choose Your Life, open People & Places, then People to see ties that already exist. To meet somebody new, visit Your Block, reply to an invitation, attend a venue or enter an open Scene, which is a turn-by-turn conversation tied to a real place.

You can also meet Townsfolk. They are computer-controlled residents and are always labelled honestly. They can answer invitations and take part in ordinary city life when few human players are present.

Closeness grows when you show up, help, spend time together or share meaningful moments. The People page uses words such as acquaintance, friend and confidant so you can understand the relationship without reading a bare number.

Favours, unanswered invitations, disagreements and repair can give the relationship a history. If a tie has gone quiet or needs attention, the page places that fact near the person rather than hiding it in an old message.

A strong connection can become friendship, romance, family, rivalry or simply a familiar person you keep seeing around town.

Choose Your Life, open People & Places, then Boundaries to review your choices. A general preference says what you may be open to; the other person still needs to agree to the particular adult action. Past agreement never becomes permanent permission.

Use Withdraw everything when you need all permissions you have given to stop at once. The change takes effect immediately. You do not need to contact the other person or explain why.

• Choose what kinds of adult relationship actions you are open to.
• Consent is checked again for the specific action, not assumed forever.
• A block stops contact across your whole account.
• The blocked person is not told whether a block caused the message to fail.

Use the report control on the relevant profile, message or post whenever possible. The report records enough nearby context for the behaviour to be reviewed. Reporting does not automatically block contact, so use Block as well when you need the person to stop reaching you.

For an account problem or something that cannot be reported from its page, open Help on your phone. You can send a support notice and return there to see its status.
