Bingle is 18+ text chat with strangers. We take reports, filter text, and let you skip or block. We cannot make every stranger kind.
If you are under 18
Leave. This product is not for you. If you are a parent or if you see a child here, report with “suspected minor” and stop the chat.
In-chat tools
Skip finds someone else. Leave ends without requeue. Block is permanent. Report is one tap with a fixed reason — including suspected minor, hate, spam or scam, harassment, and nudity or solicitation.
What we already filter
Server-side rules run on every send, in this order: contact exchange, links, minor indicators, solicitation, hate, then spam. Contact patterns are flagged and redacted. Hate can drop the message and penalise trust. Repeat solicitation can end the session.
Filtering is imperfect. False positives exist and are tested, but you should still skip anything that feels wrong.
Do not share contact details
Moving a stranger to Instagram, Snapchat, Telegram, WhatsApp, or a phone number is how grooming and scams leave the moderated channel. The product tries to stop that. Do not help it happen.
History indicator
If the other person has random-chat history on, you will see that the chat may be saved. Skip if you do not want your words stored in that random chat. Direct messages are always stored until you delete them for yourself or delete your account.
Account restriction for suspected minors
If the filter Flags a message under the minor rule, the account gets users.restricted_at (not a bans row). Current access tokens are invalidated. New WebSocket authenticate fails closed. Further messages from that account end the session without delivering.
Emergencies
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. This draft grievance mailbox is not a crisis line and is not monitored like one.
