What is Hestia?

Hestia is a completely free and anonymous chat service for members aged 16 and over that allows you to talk to another verified community member in your age group, based on your choice of topic. Under-18s are only ever matched with other under-18s. Our aim is to provide a judgement-free space founded on human connection, understanding, and unity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Age Matching

To create meaningful connections, Hestia verifies each user’s age through ID confirmation. This allows us to match you with community members in a similar age group, helping conversations feel more relatable and comfortable. ID verification is used only to confirm age and is not stored or shared.

Conversation Topic Matching

Hestia pairs you with someone who selected a conversation topic similar to yours. By matching users based on shared topics, we help ensure you’re talking with someone who understands what you’re going through and wants to discuss the same things.

Anonymity

All conversations on Hestia are completely anonymous. This allows members to speak openly and connect without fear of judgment, bias, or discrimination.

Text-Based vs. Voice-Based Chat

Hestia gives you the choice between text-based chat or voice chat. This flexibility lets you communicate in the way that feels most comfortable and accessible for you.
