and transparencycircled.social is designed to support open participation while respecting the privacy and autonomy of its members.The platform does not operate on attention-driven advertising models or algorithmic amplification systems.Instead of tracking behaviour to optimise engagement, the platform focuses on structured participation through spaces and circles.Members choose what they follow and where they participate.What information is visibleThe visibility of content depends on the structure of the space or circle where it is shared.There are generally three levels of visibility.PublicContent can be viewed by visitors and members.Public discussions are intended for open participation.CommunityContent is visible to members of the platform community.Participation may be limited to registered members.Private or trusted relationshipsContent may be restricted to specific members or groups.These circles are used for collaboration, projects, or trusted discussions.The visibility level is determined by the structure of the space or circle and the selected audience.Personal profilesMembers create a personal profile when joining the platform.Profiles allow members to:Participate in circlesFollow other member, circles &amp; discussionsCreate or manage circlesConnect with communitiesMembers should only share information they are comfortable making visible within the platform.Data and responsible useThe platform aims to collect and store only the information necessary to operate the service.Platform data is used to:Manage accounts and participationMaintain

on circled.socialcircled.social is designed to allow people to explore and participate without unnecessary barriers.Visitors can browse public spaces and circles, discover discussions, and follow developments across different communities.Creating an account allows members to participate more actively.Such as:Following circles and spacesSharing posts and updatesParticipating in discussionsCreating your own community circleParticipation is intended to remain simple and accessible.Free standard membershipJoining circled.social is free.The free standard membership allows members to participate in discussions, follow or join communities, and create their own circle.The free standard membership allows members to create&nbsp;one community circle per year at no cost.Once created, circles remain active.This allows communities, initiatives, and local groups to establish their presence on the platform without financial barriers.Optional membership upgradesSome members may want to operate multiple circles or access additional features.For this reason, optional membership upgrades may be available.Upgraded memberships may provide:The ability to create additional circlesExtended moderation toolsOrganisational or professional use casesAdditional platform featuresMembership upgrades help support the continued development and operation of the platform.Communities and responsibilityMembers who create circles help steward their community circles.They can organise discussions, guide participation, and maintain the focus of their circle domain.Participation on the platform is expected to remain respectful, constructive, and aligned with the community guidelines.Shared responsibilityThe platform becomes stronger the more communities participate.Each circle contributes to a broader network of conversations, knowledge, or initiatives.Communities shape the platform together.Related LinksLearn how Circles

Circles?Circles are the places where communities interact on circled.social.They are where members share updates, posts, discussions, announcements, and other signals.If Spaces organise the platform structure,&nbsp;Circles are where the actual community activity happens.What Circles can representA circle can represent many types of communities, for example:Local neighbourhoodOrganisation or associationProfessional networkProject or initiativeThematic discussion groupPublic conversation topicEach circle brings together people interested in that specific context.What happens inside a CircleMembers of a circle can:Share updates and announcementsStart discussionsPublish reports or evidenceShare stories and perspectivesOrganise polls, events and featured contentsDifferent types of posts help structure conversations and make it easier to understand the context of each contribution.Public and community circlesCircles can be organised in different ways depending on the community.Some circles are&nbsp;public, meaning anyone can read and participate.Others may be&nbsp;community or membership circles, where participation is limited to members of that community.This flexibility allows circles to support both open dialogue and trusted collaboration.Creating your own CircleMembers can create their own circle to organise a community or topic.Typical examples include:Neighbourhood communitiesOrganisations or clubsLocal initiativesThematic discussion circlesThe free standard membership allows members to create one community circle per year at no cost.Additional circles or advanced features may be available through optional membership upgrades.Circles and SpacesEach public or community circle belongs to a&nbsp;Space.The Space provides the context where the circle appears and helps others discover it.Example:Space → Local CommunitiesCircle → Munich - NeighbourhoodCircle → Berlin - CommunityCircle → Local InitiativesThis structure keeps

Spaces?Spaces organise context on circled.social.They help structure conversations, communities, and updates so that discussions remain understandable and easy to explore.Instead of everything appearing in a single global feed, Spaces group related circles and topics together.This makes it easier for members to find relevant communities and follow what matters to them.What Spaces doSpaces provide structure for the platform.A Space can represent:Public platform areaThematic domainCountry or regionLocal community contextProject or organisational environmentWithin each Space, multiple&nbsp;Circles&nbsp;can exist.Each circle hosts a specific community or topic.ExampleA space for National CommunitiesInside that space you may find circles such as:Nationwide communitiesNationwide organisationsNationwide topicsAnother space might represent:Platform SupportInside that space members can find circles for:Support &amp; DocumentationFrequently asked questionsReportsGlobal, National, and Local SpacesSome Spaces are organised geographically.For example:🌍 Global🚩 National📍 LocalThis structure allows communities to organise conversations at different levels.A global discussion can exist alongside national or local circles.Who creates Spaces?Spaces are created and maintained by platform stewards or moderators to ensure the platform remains organised and understandable.This helps avoid fragmentation and keeps related circles connected in meaningful ways.What if a Space is missing?If you believe a Space should exist for:a countrya regiona topica community contextyou can request it through the Public Support &amp; Questions circle.New spaces may be created when they help improve the structure of the platform.Spaces and CirclesSpaces
