Are creators starting to trust platforms less because the boundaries feel too hard to read?

It feels like a lot of creator frustration now comes from not really knowing how far they can go before something starts creating friction.

When the boundaries feel vague, people do not just react after something happens. They start adjusting in advance. That means softer opinions, flatter tone, and more hesitation even when nothing is formally taken down.

On the Clapper app, we think free expression works best when creators feel like the environment is clear enough to post more honestly without having to constantly second-guess themselves.

Curious how others think about it:

• Are vague boundaries becoming a bigger problem than strict rules?
• What makes a platform feel trustworthy enough for direct posting?
• Do creators value clarity more than flexibility now?
