Prefer a private address? Enter a new one and we send a confirmation link: nothing changes until you open it. For your safety your current address may get a link as well.
3 Red Pearls allocated per 30-day cycle. Each Red Pearl generates a Red Pearl code. Every code you share is linked to you: if two people you invite are banned, your unused invites are paused and moderators are told.

Public: Any human can view your forum post & comment history.
When your account is private, other members see your username and Human Score, but your post and comment histories are hidden.
Download a copy of what we hold about you: your profile, posts, replies, chats you are in, friends, blocks, votes and notifications, as one file you can keep.
To make automated accounts harder to run, the app watches a few simple behaviour signals while you write a post: pasted text, an impossible typing speed, a hidden trap field that only bots fill in, and posting in rapid bursts. We never keep what you typed for this check. The only thing stored is the risk score below, on your profile. At 5 out of 5, posting pauses until you solve a short code.

Sign in with Face ID, a fingerprint or your device's PIN instead of typing your password.
Signed in somewhere you no longer use? Sign out everywhere else. Other devices where the app is open also get an alert when your account signs in somewhere new.
Blocked members can't appear in your feed, replies, chats, live chat, notifications or calls. You can block someone from their profile card.

Cannot scan it? Enter this key by hand:
Keep this key somewhere safe (a password manager is ideal). If you lose your phone it is the only way to get your two-factor login back. You can also add the same key to a second device.
Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.

Turing's Gate is opening to its first 1,000 members with no invite needed. Pop a pearl to get your Red Pearl code.
Reports are reviewed by our moderators, usually within 24 hours. Content that breaks the rules is removed and repeat offenders lose their account. To stop seeing someone, open their profile and tap Block.
To report a post, a reply or a person instead, use Report on that post or on their profile.
This permanently deletes your login, profile, messages, friends and votes. Your past posts and replies stay but are shown as "[deleted]". This cannot be undone. To verify, type your exact username @username below:

Turing's Gate is invite-only, and a few layers make spam and fake accounts harder to run here. None of them is perfect on its own, so reports from members still matter.
While you write a post we look at a few simple behaviour signals: whether the text was pasted, an impossible typing speed, a hidden trap field that only bots fill in, and posting in rapid bursts. We never keep what you typed for this check, only a risk score from 0 to 5 on your profile (you can see it in Settings > Privacy). Reaching 5 pauses posting until you solve a short code.
Signing up and signing in go through Cloudflare Turnstile, an automatic check that stops most scripted sign-ups. You usually won't notice it.
Every table has row-level rules: nothing can be written without signing in, you can only change your own things, and rate limits slow down floods.
To make mass sign-ups hard, every member has three invite slots, and a slot refills 30 days after it is used. The database enforces this limit. Invites record who introduced whom, and moderators can flag a whole chain of accounts that turns out to be spam.
You can lock your chats so that only the people in them can read the text, not even Turing's Gate. Turn it on in Settings > Privacy. It is optional, works in direct and group chats once everyone has turned it on, and uses a recovery passphrase you choose. If someone in a chat has not turned it on, the app asks before it sends a message without encryption. Photos are not encrypted, and reporting an encrypted message hands the text you see to our moderators. Read how it works and its limits.

Turing's Gate is a small, invite-only community. Invites, a sign-in check and moderation help keep spam and fake accounts out.
