絆 — SAFETY
Built to be safer. Built to be honest.
We're a small team building for our own community. These are the lines we won't cross — and the help we'll give you when someone else does.
No yellow fever, no exotic. Period.
Kizuna is not a place to fetishize Asian people. Profiles that reduce members to a stereotype, fixate on "Asian features", or use racialized pickup language are removed on first report — no warnings, no second chances.
Heritage is something we celebrate. It is not a flavor on a menu.
Photo verification
Every verified member has confirmed their identity with a live selfie matched against their profile photos. Look for the gold check on profiles. We're rolling verification out gradually — if you'd like to be early, head to Profile → Verified.
Reporting & blocking
Tap the menu (⋮) on any profile or chat to Report or Block. Reports go to a human reviewer within 24 hours, and you can keep using the app while we look into it. Blocking is instant and mutual — neither of you will see each other again.
For anything urgent or off-platform, write to safety@kizuna.app.
AAPI mental-health resources
If you or someone you matched with needs support, these are good places to start:
- Asian Mental Health Collective — therapist directory, peer support, free resources.
- NAPIWN — National Asian Pacific Islander Women's Network.
- Stop AAPI Hate — report incidents and find regional resources.
- In immediate crisis: dial 988 (US) or your local equivalent.
