Why We Don’t Do Online Communities

MOODS does not run an official Discord, forum, subreddit, or group for interpreting sessions.


We are not interested in strangers explaining your archetype responses or deciding what your experience “means.” Any Discords, subreddits, or forums using the MOODS name are unofficial, unmoderated, and outside the intended use of the system.


Not much good comes from handing over your inner life to a group chat. Online “processing” rewards performance and validation. People post raw material too early, then ask strangers to tell them what it means. The room amplifies intensity and keeps people there — stuck in a circle jerk of sadness.


MOODS is built to interrupt that pattern.

Solitude with Structure


MOODS is a solo tool by design.


Not everything should be shared immediately. Some things don’t need to be explained out loud or run past a room of strangers. When you rush to interpretation, you skip the part where you actually find out what you think.


That’s where this kind of work goes to die. When everything stays in the room, nothing changes outside it. People end up talking about the work instead of doing anything with it.


This kind of material doesn’t belong in a feed. If you drag it out into public too early, it gets steered by group opinion instead of lived through. What happens here stays private until you decide what it means and what you’re going to do.


If you share something that came out of MOODS, do it after you’ve done that work. Share it as a decision you’re ready to make, a conversation you’re ready to have, or something you’ve created. Not as raw material for other people to sort out.


MOODS exists to send you back into your life.

About Unofficial Communities


You may see Discord servers, subreddits, or social accounts using the MOODS name.


Some exist because we claimed names early so they wouldn’t be misused. Others exist because people will always create spaces to talk, interpret, and speculate together.


Unless we explicitly say otherwise, none of these spaces are official.


We don’t run them. We don’t moderate them. We don’t endorse them. We don’t treat interpretations shared there as meaningful or authoritative.


We don’t control what happens in those spaces, and we don’t take responsibility for what comes out of them. If you choose to participate, that choice — and whatever follows from it — is yours.


There is one narrow exception.


We currently have a private Discord for a small group of invited beta testers. That space exists for one purpose only: collecting feedback about the tool while it’s being built. It is not a place for session interpretation or group processing, and it is not open to the public.


If you’re using MOODS as intended, you won’t need strangers to tell you what you experienced.

No community doesn’t mean no contact


We may not host communities, but we do listen.

If MOODS led to something real, we want to know about it. 


That might be something you made, a decision you finally reached, or a shift that changed how you moved through your life. Send what came out the other side — not the session itself, but what it turned into — to feedback@moodscodex.com.


These messages are read by real people on the team. You may not hear back directly, but we see them. Seeing MOODS out in the world, actually doing something for someone, is why we’re building it this way. If you’re open to us sharing what you send, say so. If not, we won’t.


If something is broken, you’re stuck, or you need help with the product itself, email support@moodscodex.com.
