Pridelands After Dark chat announcement!

Hi all! For the last half a year, I have been working with some other TLK-lovers to create a new, safe chat channel for lovers of TLK smut. We want to be THE place for lovers of the Lion King to come, hang out, and enjoy the newest works from our extraordinary creative community. We even have many of those creators in our chat already, so we often get glimpses of work in progress and other fun things like that!

For information on how to join, go to https://pridelands-after-dark.com/matrix.

So why did we create this? We know there are many chat systems out there, and a lot of people are tired of hopping between them. There's Discord, Telegram, Signal, Line, WhatsApp, Slack...

But most of them have a fatal flaw, in that they are owned and operated by a company. These companies have been known to shut down channels that violate their terms of service. For instance, Discord famously changed its policies specifically to ban cub porn. They are also usually centralized around a company. That means that if that company stops operating, so does the community. In many cases, it is also impossible to tell what level of security the company is operating under (such as Telegram).

To us, that was unacceptable. We wanted to build a strong, long-term community that can last. Most of us have been among the TLK community for 10 or 20 years, and have seen many chats come and go, disappearing and taking a lot of history, good memories, and sometimes even friends with them. Again, this is unacceptable.

Matrix is an open source protocol that allows chat systems to be shared across many machines. There's a LOT of very technical jargon that can be thrown around here. "Federation", "end-to-end encryption", "decentralization"... If you like talking about those things, that's awesome and we're happy to answer questions, but also you shouldn't have to care.

Here's what's important:

- We own a server, so no one but us can shut it down.
- Other people can also run a server that will mirror ours, so even if we did shut it down, the community would keep going.
- The system is outside of any jurisdiction except our own.
- Matrix is a protocol, not a program. That means that even if a client (the actual program running on your computer) stops being supported, another can be created, and multiple already exist.

We believe this is the best way to move towards a lasting community that will still be here for the next 10 or 20 years. It's not perfect, but we do believe it's the future and will only get better.

We have a lot of ideas in mind for this community, but this is the start. Please read the rules https://www.notion.so/padcrew/Matrix-Rules-61ec81568880... and come join us at PAD!

I'm looking forward to this and all, but does that mean cub R34 is not allowed due to rule 3.2? Figured lot's of art from here won't be allowed on your server.

Lion king cubs are fine. We try to keep the non-TLK r34 down a bit, but with moderator approval it's fine to share sometimes. Our only hard cut off is for art involving underage humans.

I went and had a look, unfortunately it seems that riot only supports a single profile with a single custom server. As I'm already part of a custom riot server, I can't join yours :(

Oh no! Well that's a bummer, and an issue we haven't run into yet. Thanks for letting me know about it. If you want to DM me with details, we might be able to hook things up so you can use your existing user. Either way I'll look into it.

Most of the chat is non-RP, but we do have rooms set aside for roleplayers and there's often a few interested folks in there. It's not our focus, but we try to accommodate!

Is this server still being run? I'm thinking I could use a nice place to hang out in feral form and maybe find some RP, or at least cuddles and chat.

I could use some help getting set up. I use the link but the javascript redirection is not working probably due to security measures on my browser. I looked at the "how to join" pictures but I have no idea how to get to the account creation page. It's nice to have pictures and all, but without a hyperlink to the place that matches the picture, I'm lost.

Never mind, got it! Needed to find a client, easy list on matrix.org
