Core Membership Values

We’re Human First (alt: Together, We Thrive)

Kindred is a community of friends, not strangers. Your actions impact others directly, so treat fellow members with care and understanding.

Respect and Be Worthy of Respect

Follow the “Best Friend’s Grandmother” test: Would your actions be appropriate in her home? (More about this below.)

Over Communicate

Home sharing is new for many of us. When in doubt, ask. Open and honest communication helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures a positive experience for everyone.

Give to Get

Kindred operates on a give-to-get model. The more you contribute—the more you’ll gain in return.

Community Guidelines

Being part of Kindred means respecting privacy, fostering safety, and acting with integrity in all interactions. These rules apply both on the platform and in community spaces like Slack or WhatsApp.
