Author and responsibility
Kindred guides are written and reviewed by Nadiia Honda, the project creator. The material reflects practical research and editorial judgment; it does not replace legal, medical, psychological or emergency advice.
How topics are selected
Topics begin with a concrete reader problem: starting a conversation, finding recurring groups, arranging a safer meeting or maintaining a new friendship. Each article should offer actions a reader can realistically try, explain trade-offs and avoid guarantees about personal outcomes.
Originality and review
Articles are written specifically for Kindred. Before publication, they are checked for clarity, internal consistency, respectful language, privacy risks, misleading promises and overlap with existing guides. Demonstration stories and interface examples are labeled as examples.
Safety and sensitive topics
Safety guidance favors public first meetings, control of personal information, independent transport and respect for consent. General wellbeing articles include a clear boundary when professional or emergency support may be appropriate.
Corrections and updates
Publication and update dates appear on guides. Material is reviewed when site features change or when a factual or safety concern is identified. Readers can report a specific error through the public GitHub issue tracker; they should never include private or identifying information in a public report.
Advertising independence
Advertising, if enabled, does not determine article topics or conclusions. Sponsored material will be labeled. Ads will not be placed so that they resemble navigation, editorial recommendations or action buttons.
Contact
General corrections may be submitted through the Kindred issue tracker. Because issues are public, do not post account data, private correspondence, identity documents, exact addresses or other sensitive information.
