carrion.chat is now in beta.
for those who missed the original posts: carrion is a privacy-first adult roleplay chat platform i built after another popular adult roleplay platform announced they wanted to store everyone's chat logs unencrypted in arizona, and then when they walked it back they said "btw we're going to take another however many months to finish the new site because we built the entire thing assuming everyone would just roll over and let us store their logs".
as someone who would mass delete their own DMs on discord every couple months out of pure paranoid compulsive fear of data breaches, this was Simply Not Acceptable.
so i made my own website.
as of today, every feature i set out to build is complete:
zero server-side message storage. your chats live in YOUR browser, not my database. there is nothing to subpoena because there is nothing stored.
iceland-based hosting for maximum legal protection
f-list profile import (now with gallery import!)
cherubplay-style persistent rp ads (remember those?)
mxrp/omegle-style matchmaker chat
flexible profiles with optional myspace-era HTML+CSS customization for people who want to go a little crazy
user self-service ads for $10/month that let you advertise whatever you want
what's next? honestly, not much. i built what i wanted to build. i'm not going to keep adding features until the site becomes an unusable mess. i will fix bugs, i will keep the lights on, and i will let you freaks do your thing in peace.
the internet does not need to suck. people can simply build a good website and then not add to it. we do not need to accept this in general, and we certainly don't need to accept it for our porn stuff, our furry stuff, and our gay stuff.
bad websites are a choice made in greed. we can do better and we deserve better.
come eat carrion with the barbarians.
Adult roleplay platform with zero server-side message storage. Messages route through XMPP in real-time and persist only in your browser.
(and discord for bug reports and other stuff like that)
Check out the carrion.chat community on Discord - hang out with 386 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
one last note: in the current political environment making this sort of thing is what i'd like to call "super inadvisable" so if anyone asks, internet artist reachartwork and internet pervert programmer vulture are different people. okay? let's keep secrets with mama
