Community safety & support resourcesMeeting safely
When you meet someone from The Commons, meet in a public place, tell a friend where you'll be, and trust your instincts. You're never obligated to share your address or personal contact details. (Full guidance pending review.)
What The Commons does and doesn't verify
We show verification seals and standing so you can see a person's record. We do not run background checks or identity verification, and a profile is not an endorsement. Treat meeting a neighbor here the way you'd treat any introduction — with care. (Full language pending review.)
Contact off the platform
Sharing phone numbers, addresses, or moving a conversation off the platform is your choice and your risk. Go at your own pace. (Full guidance pending review.)
If someone may be in danger
The Commons is not an emergency service and cannot respond to emergencies. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911. For crisis support, call or text 988.
