Know the Wall

Yes. Type @ and start their username in a brick or reply, then choose a suggestion. Mentions link to profiles and notify up to five people when the post is public. Held posts wait for approval. Blocks and self-mentions do not send alerts. Phone alerts follow your notification setting.

Open your profile, choose Change avatar, select a brick character, then Save profile. All 20 static avatars are free. Foundation and Gold artwork do not grant badges or posting credits.

Hold a brick to open its actions. On desktop, right-click it, or focus it with Tab and press Shift+F10. A normal tap still opens replies. You can copy text from the same menu.

Yes. Hold your brick on the wall or in your profile, choose Remove brick, and confirm. It disappears from public views and your profile, and its replies are hidden. Moderation records are retained. Gold posts used are not refunded; earned Foundation tags and referral rewards stay with the account.

Foundation recognizes the first 100 people to publish a brick on LAID. Your tag appears beside your name on bricks, replies, and your profile. Existing bricklayers count; demo accounts do not.

Lay your first public brick while a Foundation spot is still available. Bricks held for review qualify when approved. The tag stays with your account and never boosts votes or reach.

Copy or share your invite link from your profile. A new friend must sign up through it and lay their first public brick. You earn 5 gold posts and your friend earns 1, once per friend. Existing accounts and self-referrals do not qualify; invitations must be linked within 24 hours of signup and before posting.

Choose Gold under Style when laying a brick. Each successfully saved gold brick uses one gold post, including a brick held for review. Failed submissions use none. Your remaining balance is on your profile and in Style.

Gold is a visual treatment only. It does not change voting, ranking, moderation, or reach. Unused gold posts stay in your balance.

Tap the brick text or Comment to open its replies. Sign in to leave a text-only reply of up to 240 characters. Replies stay one level deep and go through the same moderation checks as bricks.

Yes. Open your brick and choose Turn replies off. Existing replies remain visible, but new ones cannot be added. You can reopen replies later or remove individual replies under your brick.

Use Report beneath a reply while signed in. Held and reported replies go to the moderator queue. A held reply is visible to its author and moderators, not the public.

Tap Style in the composer for free brick and lettering colors. The text box comes first, and Lay it stays at the bottom of the composer.

A shared wall for thoughts, vents, jokes, and things you need to get off your chest. Say it. Lay it. Walk away.

A brick is a text-only post of up to 240 characters. No photo, video, or audio uploads. Just words on the wall.

You can read the public Wall without signing in. Sign in to lay bricks and use voting, reporting, hiding, and blocking.

No. LAID does not have follows or follower counts. You do not need to build an audience before laying your first brick.

Laying a brick means posting. A bricklayer is someone who posts. The Wall is where public bricks come together.

The Wall mixes freshness, votes, and discovery. Freshly Laid shows newest bricks first. Most Laid sorts by net votes. Random mixes things up.

It is our phrase for a brick held for review. It stays visible to its author, but is not on the public Wall. Saving a brick does not guarantee public distribution.

Our slang for a brick taking off. It is an expression, not a current badge or a promise of reach.

Cement is an idea for future permanence. It is not currently available, and it would not buy votes or reach.

Some bricks are held for moderation and stay visible only to their author outside the moderation team. Seeing a brick on your profile does not mean it is public. It may later be published or removed.

Public bricks appear with your username and can be read without an account. Other people can copy or screenshot them. A username is not a guarantee of anonymity, so leave out details you do not want connected to you.

No. Public visibility does not guarantee views. Wall ordering and moderation affect distribution.

Yes. You can be frustrated, blunt, or funny. Keep threats, targeted harassment, hateful targeting, personal information, sexual exploitation, scams, and spam off the Wall. The community rules explain the boundaries.

Use the brick menu to report it for moderation, hide it from your Wall, or block its writer. Reporting does not guarantee removal.

The mortar needs a minute. Posting limits help keep the Wall readable: up to five bricks in ten minutes and sixty in twenty-four hours.

No. This is the quick guide to using LAID. Read the community rules for the content boundaries and moderation details.
