A small forum, one invite at a time.
Threads, polls, chat and voice rooms. Every member joins with a Red Pearl code: one of the first 1,000 founder pearls, or an invite from someone already inside. No ads, and your data is never sold.
The pond is live: tap the water to feed the koi.
How joining works
There is no open sign-up form. Every member arrives with a code from someone already inside, or is one of the founders.
Get a Red Pearl code
The first 1,000 members claim a founder pearl straight from the app. After that, a member invites you: each member has three invite slots that refill every 30 days.
Pass the human check
A quick check at sign-up (Cloudflare Turnstile plus a light typing check) makes it hard for scripts to get in. It is a speed bump, not a lie detector, and moderators watch for the rest.
Join the conversation
Post in communities, vote in polls, message people and hop into voice rooms. Invites are traceable, so moderators can follow abuse back to where it started.
What you get
The things a community needs, without the things that make most of the internet exhausting.
Threads and polls
Communities for every interest, with replies, photos, short videos and polls.
Chat
Direct and group messages, with optional end-to-end encryption and disappearing messages.
Voice rooms
Drop into a live conversation, or ring a group of friends and talk, right in the app.
The Pond
A fish game inside the forum: explore hidden worlds, fight bosses with other members and duel for red pearls. Take a look.
No ads, no data selling
We do not show ads and we do not sell your data. Block, report and private-account controls work everywhere.
A look inside
Turing's Gate runs in any modern browser, and you can add it to your phone's home screen.
Your data, handled carefully
We would rather tell you exactly what we do, and what we cannot protect, than make big promises.
- No ads and no selling of your data. Your password is never visible to us.
- Optional end-to-end encrypted chats: when everyone in a chat turns it on, we only store unreadable text. Photos are not encrypted.
- Optional two-factor sign-in, sign-in alerts, and a download of everything we hold about you.
- Delete your account and your messages at any time.
- Public posts are public: posts and replies in public communities can be read without an account and can appear in search results. Chats are never shown, and members can switch to a private account to stay out of them.
- Everything is spelled out, limits included, on our Security page and in our Privacy Policy.
